1. Consumers

1.1. Heterotrophs

1.1.1. Herbivores, carnivores, parasites, omnivores, detritivores and decomposers

2. Array of organisms who formed communities interacting with its environment through a flow of energy and nutrients.

3. Primary producers

3.1. Autotrophs

3.1.1. Gets energy from non living source

4. Food chain

4.1. Sequence of steps where energy is transferred in trophic levels

5. Food web

5.1. Set of crossed connecting food chain

5.2. Grazing food web (aquatic)

5.2.1. Detrital food web (land)

6. Energy flow

6.1. Primary production

6.1.1. Depends on habitats

6.2.2.1. Amount of usable energy in trophic levels

7. Cycles

7.1. Phosphorus

7.1.1. It moves from land to ocean and back by:

7.1.1.1. Weathering

7.1.1.2. Erosion

7.2. Nitrogen
