Chemicals in the air and garbage in the oceans are examples of

organisms that eat primary consumers for energy; can either be carnivores or omnivores

What is one way that humans have a negative impact on biodiversity?

Habitat loss is often due to

environments with high levels of dissolved salt; includes the open ocean, the deep-sea ocean, and coastal ecosystem

the organisms that eat the producers and are herbivores

a collection of plants and animals that have common characteristics for the environment they exist in

covers about one-fifth of Earth's surface; can either be sandy, gravelly, or stony; extremely dry area of land with sparse vegetation

a geographic area where plants, animals, and other organisms, as well as weather and landscape, work together to form a bubble of life

organisms that break down dead or decaying organisms

behavioral or physical characteristics of an animal that help it to survive in its environment

can be described as a tall, dense jungle; high amount of rainfall it gets per year; is very hot and humid so the animals and plants that exist there must learn to adapt to this climate

Habitat destruction will often result in the decline of a specific species. When population numbers for this species are very low, we call this
