Definition
Producers
Organism that gets its energy form abiotic sources, such as Sunlight or inorganic chemicals.
What is the difference between a specialist and a generalist?
Specialists have a deep understanding of a certain content area, while generalists have a board scope of knowledge within their own industry or across disciplines.
List two different energy sources for Producers
Photoautotrophs
Chemoautotrophs
Herbivores
Mostly eat plants
Elephants, Rabbits, Pandas
The purpose of water storage in ocean?
The ocean is the largest storehouse of water on earth. Over 96% of all Earth water exists in the oceans. Not only do the oceans provide evaporated water to the water cycle, but all also water to move all around the slope as ocean currents.
Autotrophs
Organism that gets its energy from nonliving sources such as Sunlight or inorganic Chemicals
What is the difference between a food chain and a food web?
Food Chain Show a linear sequence of organism where each one is eaten by the next it represents a simple flow of energy and nutrients. Food web: Consists of interconnected food chains, the complex interactions and various organism in an ecosystem.
the source of energy for most autotrophs is
Sunlight
Carnivores
Eat Meat
Owls
Nitrogen fixation changes
Consumers
Organism thought its energy and nutrients by eating other organisms.
What is the difference between a detritivore and a decomposer?
Detritivores are different by they consume material to break it down. Decomposers like bacteria and fungi don't eat their food the decompose it externally.
What two main biological processes are responsible for the cycling of oxygen?
Cellular respiration, Photosynthesis.
Omnivores
Eat plants and animals
The hydrologic cycle is the path of what substance?
Water
Heterotrophs
Organism that gets its energy and nutrients by consuming other organisms.
What are two categories of factors that make up an ecosystem?
Explain Hydrologic Cycle
Is the circular pathway of water on Earth-from the atmosphere to the surface, below ground, and back into the atmosphere again.
Detritivores
Eat Dead organic Material
What tow main biological processes are responsible for the cycling of oxygen?
Cellular respiration and Photosynthesis
Chemostynthesis
Process by which ATP is made using chemicals as an energy source instead of light.
What do ecologist's study?
Living things and its surrounds.
List four biogeochemical cycles:
Phosphorus, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Carbon
Decomposers
Break down organic materials
Fungi, Bacteria, Insects, Earthworms
Name two ways that water can enter the atmosphere.
Evaporation and Trapnspiration
