Bacteria are microscopic living biotic organisms. There are multiple types of bacteria. They can either be beneficial by decomposing and / or fermenting organic material, or harmful if they cause an infection.

An example of bacteria is E.Coli. E. Coli is found in the lower intestine of warm - blooded animals. Some strains of this bacteria can cause food poisoning to the host. However, the harmless strains can benefit the host, by producing Vitamin K₂, and preventing the colonization of pathogenic bacteria (pathogenic means that they cause disease)

A variety of animals and plants in an ecosystem.

Bioinvasion is the expansion of a species that did not originate from a region.

# data[].attributes.body
A living organism.

Carnivores are consumers that feed off of flesh. They are considered as a Secondary Consumer.

# data[].attributes.body
Chlorophyll is a green pigment that is found in all green plants. The purpose of Chlorophyll is to help with photosynthesis, and it also allows for the plant to look green.

# data[].attributes.body
Closed Systems are systems that lack the ability of transferring energy to its surroundings.

# data[].attributes.body
A community is a group of interacting species / biotic elements living in the same region.

# data[].attributes.body
Competition is when organisms fight. They do this either for food, or to survive.

# data[].attributes.body
The process of the change of the state of matter from gas to liquid.

# data[].attributes.body
Consumers are organisms that feeds off of other organisms as it cannot produce its own food. There are layers of consumers, such as primary consumers, secondary consumers and tertiary consumers.

# data[].attributes.body
Cycles are a series of events that are repeated in the same order (in nature).

Example: The Water Cycle, The Carbon Cycle

# data[].attributes.body
This is the process of certain elements which make up living organisms (oxygen, nitrogen) being reused over time.

# data[].attributes.body
These are organisms that breaks down organic matter and return the nutrients back to the ecosystem.

# data[].attributes.body
Dead organic matter that are fed on by detritivores.

# data[].attributes.body
Detritivores are a type of consumer that feeds off of detritus, which creates more waste. The waste enriches the soil with nutrients, which helps producers grow.

# data[].attributes.body
Ecosystems are habitats the involve other organisms that coexist with a series of interactions.

# data[].attributes.body
A measuring of how much we take from our environment.

# data[].attributes.body
Energy Consumers are consumers that obtain their energy by consuming organisms.

# data[].attributes.body
A graphical model that represents the amount of transferred energy in a food chain.

# data[].attributes.body
Evaporation is an important process in the global water cycle which allows water to enter the atmosphere, which is linked to cloud formations, rainfall, and others. Evaporation happens when solar radiation hits water / land, causing it to change its state of a liquid into a gas.

# data[].attributes.body
Food chains are a series of living organisms that depend on each other as a source of food. Food Chains always start with a producer as they use the sun for energy / food.

# data[].attributes.body
Food Webs are a network of food chains that connect and interlock with each other.

# data[].attributes.body
Glucose is a natural sugar that is produced and used by plants / producers.
Chemical Name: C₆H₁₂O₆

# data[].attributes.body
Habitats are regions in where an organism’s basic needs to thrive and survive are met.

# data[].attributes.body
Herbivores are organisms that feed off plants, unlike carnivores.

# data[].attributes.body
A species that is not native to its current location, either accidentally or intentionally released into the area.

# data[].attributes.body
Mutualism is the way that two different organisms coexist to help each other.

# data[].attributes.body
The product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapor.

Examples include: drizzle, rain, hail, snow

# data[].attributes.body
Producers use a process called photosynthesis to make food. Photosynthesis is a chemical reaction that takes place in the leaves of green plants when sunlight is available.

# data[].attributes.body
A group of the same species that live in a shared space.

# data[].attributes.body
An organism that is naturally eaten by higher species.

# data[].attributes.body
The first level in the food chain. They are often plants. These biotic items hold the ability to create their own food to supply the matter and energy they need to survive. These producers create their own food through photosynthesis.

# data[].attributes.body
Producers:
- Plants interact with the Sun's light and heat to support life on Earth.
- Plants are the only organisms that can use the Sun's energy to produce food.
- Other living things interact with plants as food or to find or make shelter.

Consumers:
- Consumers interact with producers and/or other consumers by consuming them
- There are 2 types of Consumers: The Primary Consumer, and The Secondary Consumer

An analogy could be the Producers are farmer; they create food, and Consumers buy the food from the Producers. The only difference is that Consumers tend to eat part of the plant (for example, berries are produced by the ovary of a single flower).
