    Antibiotics
  • A living organism that breaks down other living things (dead) to obtain nutrients/energy
    Decomposer
  • A relationship in which one organism benefits and the other is not affected.
    Commensalism
  • Represents many interconnected food chains describing the various paths that energy takes through an ecosystem.
