Biology
When you hit the same spot repeatedly,not necessarily the bullseye.
What is precision?
Raw data.
What is new data that has not yet been analyzed?
As it moves through the cycles it is transformed but never created or destroyed.
What is why matter can be recycled in the biosphere?
A Food web.
What is a complex series of food chains that intersect?
The earth was a giant ball of violent volcanic activity and too hot to support water.
What is why there were no oceans 4 billion years ago?
Use solar energy to produce "food" by assembling inorganic compounds into complex organic molecules.
What is how do primary producers make their own food?
When you consistently hit around the bullseye at an even distance.
What is accuracy?
A line graph.
What is the type of graph best for showing the rate of change in something over time?
Photosynthesis, respiration, geological activity, burning fossil fuels, decomposition.
What are the processes that cause carbon to cycle through the biosphere?
With parasitism, one benefits but harms the host. With commensalism, one benefits, and the host is neither helped nor harmed. With mutualism, both parties benefit.
What is how is parasitism different that commensalism or mutualism?
Weather.
What is the average condition of the atmosphere of a particular area called?
They are both consumers.
What is how are herbivores and carnivores are alike?
A number obtained by counting or measuring.
What is a quantitative characteristic?
A graduated cylinder.
What is the best type of laboratory equipment for measuring volumes accurately?
Species, Population, Community, Ecosystem, Biome, Biosphere (planet) SPCEBB
What is the order of organization of ecosystems (ie. from the most specific to the broadest)?
Primary succession occurs.
What is when there are no remnants of the original community, like after a volcano?
The biological influences on organisms, such as animals, plants, fungi, bacteria.
What are the biotic aspects of an organism's niche?
Trophic levels.
What is the term for for each step in the transfer of energy and matter within a food web?
Descriptive and cannot be counted (usually) color, smell, etc.
What is a qualitative characteristic?
Constant, not changing.
What is a horizontal line on a line graph?
Sedimentary rock and bodies of water.
What is where are fossils most likely to be found?
Very stable, mature, remaining relatively unchanged until destroyed by a natural disaster or human interference.
What is the types of organisms would you find in a climax community?
A series of steps in which organisms transfer energy by eating and being eaten.
What is a food chain?
It is lost to heat and energy making molecules and performing life processes.
What is where 90% of the energy in a trophic level goes?
The vertical axis , the dependent variable (effect).
What does the Y-axis represent on a line graph?
