This is the rule that states only 10% of energy is passed from one trophic level to the next.
What is the 10 Rule?

The observations, measurements, and other types of data that people gather to test, and support, and evaluate scientific explanations?
What is empirical evidence?

Describe the three parts of the Cell Theory.
1 - All life is composed of cells
2 - Cells are the basic unit of life
3 - Cells arise from other cells

This is the thing that generally shows direction of energy flow for multiple organisms in an ecosystem and helps to determine how changes in ecosystems will effect the entire ecosystem.
What is a food chain?
300
This is an orderly procedure carried out with the goal of verifying, refuting, or establishing the validity of a hypothesis.
What is a scientific experiment?
300
This tells us the weather conditions in an area over a long period of time
What is climate?

In what three ways do cells maintain homeostasis?
1 - Extracting energy from food (CELLULAR RESPIRATION)
2 - Getting rid of waste
3 - Reproducing (MITOSIS)

These are the things that limit the population in an ecosystem. (Limits the carrying capacity)
What are limiting factors?
400
This is the process of obtaining information by using the senses
What is observation?
400
This heat transfer method occurs as warm air rises and displaces cooler air
What is convection?
400
This force occurs when the moon pulls on Earth's water creating tides
What is gravitational force?

What are the main differences between plant and animal cells?
Plant cells have chloroplasts and cell walls, while animal cells do not.

This is the maximum population allowed in an ecosystem due to different limiting factors.
What is the carrying capacity?
500
This is defining a problem, forming a hypothesis and making a prediction, then planning an investigation, identifiying variables, collecting and organizing data, interpreting data and analyzing information, and defending conclusions.
What is the scientific method?
500
This heat transfer method occurs when surface sand warms the air above it
What is conduction?
