- 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).]]> 2018-11-03 23:19:00 UTC https://padlet.com/Axiumin/scienceGlossary/wish/300120871 Axiumin https://padlet.com/Axiumin/scienceGlossary/wish/300121068 The first level in the food chain.

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) ]]> 2018-11-05 01:59:44 UTC https://padlet.com/Axiumin/scienceGlossary/wish/300288644 Axiumin https://padlet.com/Axiumin/scienceGlossary/wish/300291413 A living organism.]]> 2018-11-05 02:16:26 UTC https://padlet.com/Axiumin/scienceGlossary/wish/300291413 Axiumin https://padlet.com/Axiumin/scienceGlossary/wish/300292051 Bioinvasion is the expansion of a species that did not originate from a region.]]> 2018-11-05 02:20:47 UTC https://padlet.com/Axiumin/scienceGlossary/wish/300292051 Axiumin https://padlet.com/Axiumin/scienceGlossary/wish/300293225 Carnivores are consumers that feed off of flesh.
