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