Changes in an ecosystem caused by living organisms, including humans, such as the overpopulation of grazers or the building of highways effect an ecosystem. It can either increase or decrease population of an organism based on the living or nonliving factors.

An organism is any living thing that can carry out its life on its own. There are three types of organisms. Producer, Consumer, Decomposer

Producers, Consumers and Decomposers in Ecosystem

# data[].attributes.body
The role of a producer in an ecosystem is to: 1. make their own food through photosynthesis, 2. release oxygen, and 3. provide food and shelter for an organism

# data[].attributes.body
The role of a consumer in an ecosystem is to: 1. release carbon dioxide into the air, 2. obtain energy from other organisms

# data[].attributes.body
In a food web there are many lines or food chains of producer consumer diagrams beginning with the Sun that shows how energy flows from organism to organism

# data[].attributes.body
An ecosystem is a community of living organisms called producers, consumers, and decomposers. These living and nonliving components are regarded as linked together through nutrient cycles and energy flows.

Food chains are a single line or chain of producer consumer diagram beginning with the Sun that shows how energy flows from organism to organism

The role of a decomposer in an ecosystem is to: 1. consume dead and decaying plants and animals and 2. return nutrients to the soil

The young grow and develop through time to become adult sized, but their outward appearance does not change substantially. This type of metamorphosis is when an insect hatches from an egg and then goes through several nymph stages. Each nympho stage looks like a smaller version of the adult, but getting slightly bigger with age.

A food chain shows one path while a food web shows multiples paths of the flow of energy from one organism to another

Metamorphosis is the process of transformation from an immature form to an adult form in 2 or more distinct stages.

Complete vs. Incomplete Metamorphosis for kids: Larva, pupa, nymph, naiad defined

# data[].attributes.body
The body of an organism completely changes in shape and appearance at each stage of its life cycle. This metamorphosis involves the four stages of egg, larva, pupa (chrysalis), and adult. Insects such as butterflies, beetles, flies, and bees undergo complete metamorphosis,

Roles:
Consumers- Inhale Oxygen, Exhales Carbon Dioxide
Producers- Take in Carbon Dioxide, Release Oxygen

1.  Waxy covering on a cactus leaf allows it to conserve water
2.  Spiny needles allow the cactus to conserve water by not letting to much evaporation take place.
3.  Broad wide leaves allow certain plants to capture a lot of sunlight and release alot of transpiration.
4. Thin narrow leaves allow certain plants to capture less sunlight and hold in more water and release less transpiration.

Structure and Function of Insect Antenna, Insects Eyes, Tails, and Wings

# data[].attributes.body
1. Insect Antenna allows for the insect or animal to detect their surroundings
2. Insect eyes (compound eyes) detect motion
3. Tails in animals such as kangaroos and monkeys function as support and balance and in animals such as fish and birds for movement and direction.
4. Wings function for transportation
