living thing.
Orderly
structure shown
by living things
Process that results in

offspring.
Group of
organisms that
can interbred and
produce fertile
offspring.
Any change in an
organism’s internal or
external environment
that causes the
organism to react.
An organism’s reaction
to a stimulus.
Regulation of an
organism’s internal
environment to
maintain conditions
needed for life.
Characteristics of a species
that are passed on from
generation to generation
that develops over time in
response to the
environment, enabling a
species to survive.
heterotroph that
consumes both
plants and
animals
heterotroph that
decomposes organic
material and returns the
nutrients so they are
available to other
organisms
nonliving factor
in an organism’s
environment
total mass of
living matter at
each trophic
level
group of organisms of
the same species that
occupy the same
geographic place at
the same time.
physical area
in which an
organism lives
heterotroph that
preys on other
heterotrophs
symbiotic
relationship in
which both
organism benefit
simplified model
that shows a single
path for energy flow
through an
ecosystem
relatively thin
layer of Earth and
its atmosphere
that supports life
organism that captures
energy from sunlight
or inorganic
substances to produce
its own food
organism that cannot
make its own food and

in an organism’s

the interrelationships
between organisms
and their environment
act of one
organism feeding
on another
organism
symbiotic relationship
in which one organism
benefits and the other
organism is neither
helped nor harmed
chemical substance
that living organisms
obtain from the
environment to carry
out life processes and
sustain life
anything that
takes up space
and has mass
large group of
ecosystems that share
the same climate and
have similar types of
communities
model that shows many
interconnected food
chains and pathways in
which energy and
matter flow through an
ecosystem
biological
community and all
the nonliving factors
that affect it
role, or position
of an organism
in its
environment
symbiotic relationship
in which one organism
benefits at the
expense of another
organism
heterotroph
that eats only
plants
the cycle of processes by
which water circulates
between the earth’s
oceans, atmosphere, and
land, involving
precipitation, evaporation,
and transpiration
process by which oxygen
released into the atmosphere
by photosynthetic organisms
is taken up by aerobic
organisms while the carbon
dioxide released as a byproduct of respiration is taken
up for photosynthesis
Directions
Part 1
1. Look in the glossary for the definition of each vocabulary word.
2. Find the matching definiton in your Ch. 2 Vocabulary packet.
3. Write the vocabulary word that matches the definition on the back of each
box.
Part 2
1. Cut out the definitions and vocabulary words.
2. Pair the definition with the vocabulary word.
3. In your interactive notebook, glue in each vocabulary word and it’s
definition side by side.
