100
This organism is considered the producer of this food web.
What is plankton?
100
This property of water describes how it is attracted to other water molecules and can move up a straw.
What is cohesion?
100
This step in the water cycle allows plants to absorb water from the ground and transport it through the plant.
What is transpiration?
100
There is already infrastructure in place for nonrenewables to be used by the public. (Benefit OR Cost)
What is benefit?
200
The amount of available energy increases as it travels up the food web from producer to tertiary consumer. (True OR False)
What is false?
200
Water expands when it turns into ice, which causes it to do this in liquid water.
What is float?
200
Water cycle is driven by this external source of energy.
What is the sun?
200
Nonrenewable emit a large amount of greenhouse gases. (Benefit or Cost)
What is Cost?
300
The loss of this organism would mean the total break down of this food web.
What is plankton?
300
This property of water describes how water can absorb large amounts of heat.
What is high heat capacity?
300
This step of the water cycle is easily observed when a pot of water boils on the stove.
What is evaporation?
300
To build solar panels, wind turbines, water dams, geothermal power plants takes resources from the earth. (Benefit OR Cost)
What is a cost?
400
This organism would struggle the MOST from the removal of the krill.
What is Mackerel?
400
This property of water describes how it attaches itself to your skin when you exit a swimming pool.
What is adhesion?
400
This is the largest carbon reservoir on the surface in the world.
What is the ocean?
400
Renewable resources are considered sustainable because they replenish at a quicker rate than they are used. (Benefit OR Cost)
What is benefit?
500
If the Plankton begins with 4000 J of energy, then this is how much the Seal would get in the food web below. (Double Jeopardy)
What is 40 J from the herring? What is 4 J from the cod and dogfish? What is .4 J?
500
Water is a polar molecule and attaches itself to different polar molecules, at times dissolving molecules within a body of water. This is why water is called this.
What is universal solvent?
500
This is how humans have increased carbon in the atmosphere today when compared to 250 years ago.
What is combustion of fossil fuels?
500
Renewable resources are expensive to purchase and maintain. (Benefit OR Cost)
What is cost?
