Energy and Matter in Ecosystems

ecosystem

• Parts of an ecosystem that

  is or was one alive.

• Parts of an ecosystem that

  have never been alive.

• A community of interacting

  organisms and their environment.

• The chemical reactions in the body's

  cells that change food into energy

• The process by which organisms use

  oxygen to break down food

  molecules to get chemical energy

  for cell functions.

photosynthesis

• Organisms that produce their own

  food using energy from the sun.

• The process by which plants use

  sunlight, water, and carbon

  dioxide to create oxygen and

  energy in the form of sugar.

• is an organelle

  within the cells of plants where

  photosynthesis takes place.

• is a pigment that

  gives plant their green colour.

• A type of sugar you get

  from foods you eat, and your

  body uses it for energy
