📚 Quick Study Guide

• 🌱 Ecosystem: A community of living organisms (plants, animals, and microbes) interacting with each other and their physical environment (soil, water, air).
• ☀️ Producers: Organisms that make their own food through photosynthesis (e.g., plants). They are the base of the food chain.
• 🐛 Consumers: Organisms that eat other organisms to get energy (e.g., herbivores, carnivores, omnivores).
• 🍄 Decomposers: Organisms that break down dead plants and animals, returning nutrients to the soil (e.g., bacteria, fungi).
• 💧 Habitat: The natural environment where an organism lives. It provides food, water, shelter, and other necessities.
• ⛓️ Food Chain: A sequence of organisms where each organism feeds on the one below it. It shows the flow of energy through an ecosystem.
• 🕸️ Food Web: A complex network of interconnected food chains. It represents the feeding relationships among different organisms in an ecosystem.
• 🌡️ Abiotic Factors: Non-living components of an ecosystem such as sunlight, temperature, water, and soil.
