What is an Ecosystem? A community were living things and
non living things interact with each other in a natural environment

List four different types of Ecosystems.
Ocean Bay River Stream Lake Pond Forest Desert Grassland Rainforest Tundra

List four living things found in most Ecosystems.
Plants Flowers Trees Insects Animals Fish Birds

How do plants get energy to grow?
Plants get energy to grow from the sun.
![Page 7: Ecosystem Study Guide](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103102/5681682b550346895dddc298/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
How do animals get energy to grow?
Animals get their energy to grow by feeding on plants and/or other animals.

What is the difference between a producer and a consumer?
Producers can make their own energy and consumers need to search and eat theirs.

Name all the different types of consumers, give an example of each type, and explain how they
eat differently. Herbivores-plants only-deer Omnivores-both plants and animals-
bear Carnivores-animals only-tiger Decomposers-break down dead
decaying organisms-mushroom Scavengers-feed on dead organisms-
vulture

How do plants make food during the process of photosynthesis?
Plants make food by trapping sunlight and absorbing CO2 & water.
![Page 11: Ecosystem Study Guide](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103102/5681682b550346895dddc298/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What part of the plant traps the sun’s energy?
The part of the plant that traps the sun’s energy is the chlorophyll in the leaves.

What are the jobs of the roots? The roots jobs are to take in water,
support the plant, absorb nitrogen compounds, and store glucose (to be used at night for energy).

Describe how Elodea and Duckweed are different?
Elodea has leaves and a stem. Duckweed grows in fronds and floats
on the surface.

What do Algae and Duckweed have in common?
Algae and Duckweed both have no leaves or stems.
![Page 15: Ecosystem Study Guide](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103102/5681682b550346895dddc298/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Healthy Duckweed is what color?
Healthy Duckweed is bright yellow green.

How does Duckweed grow and reproduce?
Duckweed grows and reproduces by having buds attached to the fronds.
![Page 17: Ecosystem Study Guide](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103102/5681682b550346895dddc298/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What problems does Duckweed cause when it thrives?
Duckweed can cause problems by blocking out the sunlight on the water’s surface.
![Page 18: Ecosystem Study Guide](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103102/5681682b550346895dddc298/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
What problems does Elodea cause when it thrives?
Elodea can cause problems by growing rapidly. This will clog waterways and drainpipes.
![Page 19: Ecosystem Study Guide](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103102/5681682b550346895dddc298/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
What happens to Elodea if it breaks apart?
Elodea will grow into 2 separate plants if it is broken.
![Page 20: Ecosystem Study Guide](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103102/5681682b550346895dddc298/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
How does Elodea grow differently in strong and poor light?
Elodea will lose it’s color and become thin in poor light, but it will continue to live.
![Page 21: Ecosystem Study Guide](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103102/5681682b550346895dddc298/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
What two ways can Elodea grow?
Elodea can grow planted or floating.
