Ecology • Matter and energy change forms by means of food chains and food webs (a series of interconnected food chains). • Producers come first in a food chain. Producers are also called __autotrophs___ and include plants and other organisms that make their own food (usually through a process known as __photosynthesis_______________). • Consumers (or _heterotrophs__) are shown in the order in which they consume their food or prey. Consumers can obtain their food through __predation___ or __scavenging___. • Decomposers are organisms that break down dead organisms and allow nutrients to be recycled. They come last in a food chain. • Example of a food chain:

Solutions • There are three types of solutions: • In an _unsaturated__ solution, more solute can be added at a certain temperature and still dissolve. • In a _saturated__ solution, the maximum amount of solute at a given temperature is able to dissolve (if more solute is added, it will settle out). • In a _supersaturated__ solution, more solute has been added than the solvent can typically hold at a certain temperature because the solution was heated up and then allowed to cool slowly. A supersaturated solution contains more solute than it would if the dissolved solute were in equilibrium with the undissolved solute.
