Food Chains - 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. a representation of the flow of energy amongst organisms in an ecosystem
    Food chain
  2. an action that occurs when 2 or more objects have effect on each other
    Interaction
  3. an organism that BREAKS down the remains of dead plants & animals
    Decomposer
  4. all the interacting members of a species in a single area
    Population
  5. process by which producer/plants use the energy in sunlight to create their own food
    Photosynthesis
  6. objects that have biological processes to keep them alive. Ex: Plants & animals
    Living
  7. an increase in the number of individuals of a species over what its ecosystem can sustain
    Overpopulation
  8. is represented by arrows. The arrows point the direction that energy moves
    Flow of energy
  9. an organism that gets energy by eating only plants
    Herbivore
  10. all living and nonliving things & all their interactions in an area
    Ecosystem
  11. are the nonliving elements in an environment. Ex: water, soil, air, light
    Abiotic Factor
  12. a single, self-contained, living thing
    Organism
  13. are the living elements in an environment. Ex: plants, animals, bacteria
    Biotic Factor
  14. an organism that gets energy from eating plants or animals
    Consumer
  15. organism that gets energy by eating only other animals

    Predator
  18. an organism that gets energy by eating BOTH plants & other animals
    Omnivore
  19. to continue alive in spite of danger or hardship
    Survive
  20. is the beginning of the food chain. It provides energy for plants to undergo photosynthesis
