1. Most ecosystems on earth are powered by energy, which drives photosynthesis in plants and algae. 2. are elements required for growth and can affect the ability of an ecosystem to sustain life. 3. can be important in shaping terrestrial ecosystems by allowing animals to cool and even influencing the way plants grow. 4. In prairie grasslands, periodic is an important disturbance, allowing for certain plants to be triggered to grow. 5. limits the distribution of organisms that can survive in a given habitat based on how hot or cold it gets. 6. is essential to life because it makes up the majority of all cells.

The missing words/Terms in your question ( excerpt ) are :

Solar energy drives the photosynthesis in plants and algae. Nutrients are elements required for growth and it can also affect the sustainability of life in an ecosystem.  Wind can be important as well in shaping terrestrial ecosystems. In prairie grasslands periodic fire is an important disturbance. Temperature limits the distribution of organisms. Water is essential to life.

Hence we can conclude that the missing words/terms in your question are as listed above.
