    O-Producer
  15. I-is represented by arrows. The arrows point the direction that energy moves
    I-Flow of energy
  16. I-to continue alive in spite of danger or hardship
    I-Survive

    B-Herbivore
  22. G-different populations that share an ecosystem
    G-Community
  23. N-a part of the ecosystem that is not living. Ex: oxygen, rocks, water
    N-Nonliving
  24. O-an organism that gets energy by eating BOTH plants & other animals
    O-Omnivore
