Energy Flow - Call List

(Print) Use this randomly generated list as your call list when playing the game. There is no need to say the BINGO column name. Place some kind of mark (like an X, a checkmark, a dot, tally mark, etc) on each cell as you announce it, to keep track. You can also cut out each item, place them in a bag and pull words from the bag.

  1. Consumers – they consume (or eat) plants or other animals
  2. Predator – an organism that feeds on other organisms
  3. Food chain - single path as animals eat each other. Shows the flow of energy
  4. Population – is all on of ONE kind of organism
  5. Ecosystem (BIOME)– all the living and non-living things that INTERACT in an environment and how they affect each other
  6. Carnivore – eats flesh (animals)
  7. Heterotroph –organism that gets its energy from the food it eats (another word for consumer)
  8. Compost – mixture of decaying substances full of nutrients, can be used as fertilizer
  9. Community – all the LIVING things in an ecosystem
  10. Omnivore - eats both plant and animals
  11. Food web – a diagram that combines many food chains, shows how many animals are interconnected by different paths
  12. Decay – to decompose or break down
  13. Compost bin –a container holding various decaying organic substances
  14. Trophic level – each level in a food chain or (energy pyramid). 10 % rule – is passed from one level to the next level
  15. Energy pyramid – a model that shows the amount of energy available at each step of the food chain
  16. Herbivore - feeding on grass and other plants
  17. Autotroph – organism that can make own food by using energy from the sun (producer) PLANTS
  18. Decomposers – they feed on wastes of plants and animals or their remains after they die, replenish soil with nutrients (also called detritivores)
  19. Producers – produce their own food (plants)
  20. Biomass - total mass of all living matter in a given area
  21. Organism – is a living thing such as plants, animals, trees, bacteria
  22. Respiration – cells use food (like glucose) to release its energy to use for all life processes.
  23. Environment – all the living and non-living things that surround and affect a given organism
  24. Prey – animal that is hunted or seized for food
