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. Decomposers – they feed on wastes of plants and animals or their remains after they die, replenish soil with nutrients (also called detritivores)
  2. Carnivore – eats flesh (animals)
  3. Producers – produce their own food (plants)
  4. Heterotroph –organism that gets its energy from the food it eats (another word for consumer)
  5. Autotroph – organism that can make own food by using energy from the sun (producer) PLANTS
  6. Respiration – cells use food (like glucose) to release its energy to use for all life processes.
  7. Organism – is a living thing such as plants, animals, trees, bacteria
  8. Consumers – they consume (or eat) plants or other animals
  9. Ecosystem (BIOME)– all the living and non-living things that INTERACT in an environment and how they affect each other
  10. Trophic level – each level in a food chain or (energy pyramid). 10 % rule – is passed from one level to the next level
  11. Prey – animal that is hunted or seized for food
  12. Food chain - single path as animals eat each other. Shows the flow of energy
  13. Energy pyramid – a model that shows the amount of energy available at each step of the food chain
