Invasive Species
A non-native species which are added to an area are called this.
What are invasive species?
Occurs when so much water has condensed that the air cannot hold it anymore.
What is precipitation?
The biochemical cycle in which carbon is cycled through the lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere.
What is the carbon cycle?
The series of processes in which nitrogen compounds are moved throughout the biotic and abiotic environment.
What is the nitrogen cycle?
True or False: Matter cannot be created or destroyed.
True
Bringing in a species from another location which can be used to hunt and kill the invasive species is called this.
What is biological control?
The 4 main steps in the water cycle.
Animals contribute to the carbon cycle through this process.
What is respiration?
Phosphorus is a key component of life because it is responsible for this.
What is making DNA?
The four cycles are called.
What is the water cycle, carbon cycle, nitrogen cycle, and phosphorus cycle?
Hunting and trapping or by destroying regions of land to prevent spreading is called this.
What is mechanical control?
The process by which water moves from plants into the atmosphere.
What is transpiration?
Humans increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by doing this.
What is burning fossil fuels and removing vegetation?
This is how animals get phosphorus.
What is animals eat plants that have absorbed phosphorus?
What is carbon dioxide?
The use of pesticides to kill, repel, or control certain forms of plant or animal life that are considered pests.
What is chemical control?
When the sun heats up water in rovers or lakes or oceans and turns it into vapor or steam.
What is evaporation?
Carbon moves through the atmosphere in plants through this process.
What is photosynthesis?
When the animals and plants die, decomposers break down the dead organism to release this back into the cycle.
What is phosphorus?
The equation for photosynthesis is this.
What is carbon dioxide + water --> sugar + oxygen?
The three main ways to control invasive species populations.
What is chemical control, mechanical control, and biological control?
Carbon is recycled through several processes but is mostly recycled through these processes.
What is photosynthesis and respiration?
This kind of bacteria feed on dead plants and animals to release nitrogen gas into the atmosphere.
What is denitrifying bacteria?
This is found in an area as a result of natural processes only.
What is a native species?
