  2. Life Science • What is a producer ? • What is a consumer ? • What is a scavenger ? • What is a decomposer ?

  3. Producers • Producers are organisms that use sunlight directly to make food • They do this using a process called photosynthesis • Most producers are plants , but algae and some bacteria are also producers

  4. Consumers • Consumers are Organisms that eat other organisms • There are several kinds of consumers – • A herbivore – a consumer that eats only plants • A carnivore – eats only meat • An omnivore – eats both meat and plants • Scavengers – feed on dead animals

  5. Scavenger • Scavengers are animal that feed on dead animals like the turkey vulture, worms ,snails

  6. Decomposers • Decomposers are organisms that get energy by breaking down the remains of dead organisms like bacteria and fungi. • The diff. of scavengers and decomposers is that scavengers eat and decomposers break down.

  7. What is a primary consumer? • What is a secondary consumer? • What is a tertiary consumer?

  8. Primary consumers • Primary consumers are organisms that feed off of producers. Herbivores are primary consumers. For example, a deer that eats grass is a primary consumer. Secondary consumers are organisms that eat primary consumers.

  9. Secondary consumers • Secondary consumers are organisms that eat primary consumers. Carnivores are secondary consumers. A wolf that kills and eats a deer is a secondary consumer. Next come tertiary consumers, then quaternary consumers, and so forth until the top carnivore is reached.

  10. Tertiary consumers • Next come tertiary consumers, they eat secondary consumers.

  11. Biotic • Living. Like animals, humans, and plants

  12. abiotic • Things not living. Like water, soil, light, And temperature.

  13. Terrestrial biomes • There are six terrestrial biomes. Each of the biomes has its own distinct abiotic and biotic factors.

  14. grassland • Grassland- this biome is called grassland because there is far more grass on the land than tree shrubs. The grasslands of the central united states, called prairies, have hot summers and cold winters. Grasslands in Africa are called savannas .Usualy warmer than the prairies the grassland are home to lions, giraffes, elephants, and zebras

  15. tundra • This biome is cold and dry with a few plants. Almost no trees grow in the tundra. Tundra biomes are in the northern parts in north America, Europe, and Asia. Part of the tundra’s soil is frozen throughout the year. This is called permafrost.

  16. desert • Deserts receive less than 50 cm (19.7 in.) of rain a year. As a result, few plants grow in the desert. Plants that DO grow there include cactuses, that need little water. Deserts cover about 1/5 earths land . Most deserts are hot in the day and cold at night. There are some cold deserts in the artic as well. Desert animals include lizards, scorpions, rats, insects , hawks , and jackrabbits.

  17. Rain forest • Rain forests get 200 – 400 centimeters of rain a year. Most rainforests are on or near earths equator. In a tropical rain forests , tall trees form a thick canopy of broad leaves. Tropical rain forests hold more of a variety of living things than all of the rest of earths surface. The climate of a tropical rainforest is hot and wet. Heavy rainfall (around 150 cm per year) and year-round warm temperatures make it very humid. This climate is found near the equator. A tropical rainforest is very dense with lots of large trees that block out sunlight. Very little sunlight reaches the rainforest floor..

  18. CONIFEROUS FOREST • Coniferous forests are located in northern latitudes. The climate in coniferous forests is very cold and dry. Coniferous forests have cold, snowy winters and warm summers. The main types of vegetation located in coniferous forests are conifers, such as pine trees. These trees are evergreens that have needles that stay on them all year long and produce cones. Arctic foxes, wolves, and snowy owls are a few examples of the animals that live in coniferous forests.

  19. DECIDUOUS FOREST • The climate of a deciduous forest is temperate with four distinct seasons (spring, summer, fall, and winter). Deciduous forests have warm summers and cold winters. They have moderate precipitation throughout the year. During winter months, however, the precipitation is usually frozen and unavailable to the organisms that live there. Trees in a deciduous forest usually lose their leaves during the winter and have thick bark to conserve water and protect them from the cold.
