Ecosystems
When people have no more food, and there's mass starvation.
Famine
Interconnected Food Chains showing a more complete representation of energy flow around an ecosystem.
Food Web
The part of the plant that absorbs sunlight, and where gas exchange happens
Fish use these to breath underwater.
The chemical formula of water
H20 (Two Hydrogen atoms connected to one Oxygen atom)
When there's no rainfall for a while, and everything gets dried out and the local environment suffers.
Drought.
Organisms that change the sun's chemical potential energy into energy that can be used around the ecosystem.
Producers
The process by which plants make their own food using energy from the sun.
Photosynthesis
Illegal killing of animals, often time endangered animals.
Poaching.
Bees serve this important role in our Biosphere. Similarly, this is how they help plants:
Pollination.
The number of a species in a specific area at a specific time.
Population.
An animal that eats animals that eats plants is a:
Secondary Consumer
The sugar that is produced during Photosynthesis.
Glucose
These animals have six legs and three parts of their body.
Insects
All the nonliving factors that affect organisms in an environment:
Abiotic factors
These organisms break down dead organisms and help return nutrients to the environment.
Decomposers.
How much energy in transferred up to the next trophic level?
Ten percent
The organelle in which photosynthesis happens.
Chloroplasts.
When organisms change their appearance to blend in with their backdrop.
Camouflage.
Eight (Pluto has been demoted)
The process by which energy is released from glucose.
Cellular Respiration.
The process by which Archaea produce energy from chemicals. Usually in deep sea vents.
Chemosynthesis
Cell walls are made of this:
Cellulose
This sort of organism eats dead animals.
When water evaporates out of of a plant, specifically through the stoma (pores in their leaves):
(99% of the water plants absorb is released by this process)
Transpiration
