The change of state from a gas to a liquid

What is condensation

100

What is the difference between a producer and a consumer

A producer makes its own food and a consumer must eat

100

This is a feeding level in an ecosystem. 

What is a trophic level

100

BEGINS IN A PLACE WITHOUT ANY SOIL (bare rock)

What is PRIMARY SUCCESSION

100

ONLY EATS PLANTS

What is HERBIVORES

200

organisms that make their own food

What are autotrophs (producers)

200

What is the difference between a food chain and a food web

A food chain is a simple, linear sequence of organisms where one organism eats another, representing a single pathway of energy transfer, while a food web is a complex network of interconnected food chains

200

living factors in an ecosystem

What is a biotic factor

200

A series of predictable and orderly changes within an ecosystem over time.

What is ecological succession

200
EAT ONLY ANIMALS
What is CARNIVORES
300

this diagram show the amounts of energy at each trophic level

What is an ecological pyramid

300

What is the difference between primary and secondary consumers

Primary consumers are organisms that eat plants (producers), while secondary consumers are organisms that eat primary consumers

300
This is the cycle of processes by which water circulates between the earth's oceans, atmosphere, and land, involving precipitation as rain and snow, drainage in streams and rivers, and return to the atmosphere by evaporation and transpiration.


What is the water (hydrologic) cycle

300

Begins in a place that already has soil and was once the home of living organisms

What is secondary succession

EAT BOTH PLANT AND ANIMALS
What is A OMNIVORE
400

The change of state from a liquid to a gas

What is evaporation

400

Compare and contrast producers and decomposers

Producers are organisms that create their own food using sunlight through photosynthesis, while decomposers break down dead organisms into simpler nutrients that can be used by other organisms in the ecosystem

400

What is an example of an abiotic factor that almost all life on Earth depends

the sun

400

what is the end result of the succession process

What is climax community

400

What kind of consumer occupys the 1st tropic level and only eats plants. 

Primary consumers

500

This is the continuous process where carbon atoms move between the Earth's atmosphere, oceans, living organisms, and soil



What is the carbon cycle

500

Compare and contrast cycles of matter and ecological succession

Cycles of matter focus on the movement of elements like carbon, nitrogen, and water through the environment, constantly being recycled between living organisms and their surroundings, whereas ecological succession describes the gradual change in the composition of a community of organisms over time,

500

The transfer of nitrogen from the atmosphere to the soil, to living organisms, and back to the atmosphere

What is the nitrogen cycle

500
