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