Ecology and Human Impact Review Regents Pt. 1

The number of different plants and animal found within an area. The more varied an ecosystem is, the more stable the ecosystem.

NGSS.MS-LS2-5

Organisms, known as producers, that synthesize their own food (glucose) by using the process of photosynthesis.

• Autotroph

• Heterotroph

• Carnivore
