Ecology

Ecology is

• study of the interactions between organisms and the environment

• study of organisms

• study of the environment

• study of people

Producers obtain their energy by

• the process of hunting for prey

• the process of eating plants

• the process of photosynthesis to make their own food from sunlight

• the process of breaking down once living things
