Living things need energy to move, grow, reproduce and make waste
All living things including plants, animals, fungi and bacteria need air, water, light, warmth, and space for survival
Energy for all life processes is released when food is digested
The conditions of a habitat can help or hinder the ability of plants and animals to meet their basic needs
In a particular habitat, some organisms can survive well, less well, or not at all
Taking care of habitats can ensure plants and animals meet their needs
Humans depend on habitats to meet their needs
Human interactions with natural habitats can cause negative effects
Ways to mitigate negative effects on habitats
Structural and behavioral adaptations in plants and animals allow them to survive in their habitat
Plants and animals have structural and behavioral adaptations that allow them to protect themselves and obtain food in their particular habitats
Producers use sunlight to produce their food and later transfer this energy to consumers and decomposers along a food chain
Organisms, including humans, have different roles (producer, consumer, decomposer) in a food chain according to how they get their energy
A food web shows the interdependence of all members of a community living in a habitat
A community is a group of interacting species sharing a common habitat
