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