Photosynthesis
Name the first step that makes nitrogen usable
Nitrogen Fixation
Who/What makes up the base of the energy pyramid
Producers
What step involves making predictions
Hypothesis
More then one population in the same area "A neighborhood"
A community
Amount of Carbon in the air
0.04%
What is the percent of nitrogen in the air
78%
These organisms breakdown dead and waste material/matter "Recyclers of the energy pyramid"
Decomposers
The kind of data that involves descriptions and quality
Qualitative Data
The maximum # of individuals of a population that can be sustained by particular area
Carrying Capacity
Process in which organisms release carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere while breakdown sugar to produce energy
Respiration
Process where nitrogen is converted to ammonium
Ammonification
The main source of the Energy for food pyramid
The Sun
What step involves using your senses to make mental notes
Observation
Elements that prevent a population from reaching its highest potential
Limiting Factor
Both Carbon emissions and Factory/Plants involved the burning of fuels are examples of what
Combustion
Process when nitrogen is released from the soil back into the atmosphere
Denitrification
The type of organisms that obtain energy from organisms & plants
Omnivore
What is the last step in the scientific method
Conclusion
The study of Ecosystems and the Environment
Ecology
This element is present in all organic matter/molecules
Carbon
An excess of nitrogen in bodies of water cause what to take place
Algae bloom and excessive plant growth
What percentage of energy get transferred to the next trophic level and what happens to the rest
10% the rest is lost thru heat
What is the difference between Independent and Dependent variables
The independent variable is manipulated or occurs first
The dependent variable responds to the dependent variable
