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. Predator – an organism that feeds on other organisms
  2. Heterotroph –organism that gets its energy from the food it eats (another word for consumer)
  3. Ecosystem (BIOME)– all the living and non-living things that INTERACT in an environment and how they affect each other
  4. Herbivore - feeding on grass and other plants
  5. Environment – all the living and non-living things that surround and affect a given organism
  6. Consumers – they consume (or eat) plants or other animals
  7. Community – all the LIVING things in an ecosystem
  8. Decay – to decompose or break down
  9. Population – is all on of ONE kind of organism
  10. Decomposers – they feed on wastes of plants and animals or their remains after they die, replenish soil with nutrients (also called detritivores)
  11. Carnivore – eats flesh (animals)
  12. Trophic level – each level in a food chain or (energy pyramid). 10 % rule – is passed from one level to the next level
  13. Omnivore - eats both plant and animals

  18. Energy pyramid – a model that shows the amount of energy available at each step of the food chain
  19. Autotroph – organism that can make own food by using energy from the sun (producer) PLANTS
  20. Respiration – cells use food (like glucose) to release its energy to use for all life processes.
  21. Food chain - single path as animals eat each other. Shows the flow of energy
  22. Food web – a diagram that combines many food chains, shows how many animals are interconnected by different paths
  23. Prey – animal that is hunted or seized for food
  24. Compost bin –a container holding various decaying organic substances
