The Dynamic Earth
The Dynamic Earth
The three types of heat transfer in Earth's Atmosphere
What is conduction, convection and radiation.
These type of factors in an ecosystem that are represented as : water, rocks and air.
What are abiotic factors.
These types of animals ( can’t make their own food). Depend on others for food.
What are consumers
What are heterotrophs
What is Evaporation
What is 1 activity caused by humans that increases the green house effect?
1) Burning fossil fuels leading to higher carbon dioxide concentrations.
2) Deforestation.
3) Destroying ecosystems.
This type of sphere is where you would find All the rocks, and minerals on and inside the earth. Ocean floor, rocks, sand.
What is Geosphere
All of the individuals of a particular species within a defined area.
What is population.
A graphical model depicting the many food chains linked together to show the feeding relationships of organisms in an ecosystem.
What is a food web
They live in aquatic environments that are too salty, hot, or acidic for most organisms
What is Archaea
What is the Photosynthesis equation?
Plants use sunlight+ water + carbon dioxide= glucose+ oxygen.
The layer in Earth's atmosphere that features the ozone layer
What is stratosphere
All organisms belong to these three domains of life
What are Bacteria, Archaea, Eukarya.
This reaction takes place in the mitochondria. Organisms use oxygen to break down food molecules to get chemical energy for cell functions.
What is cellular respiration
They help to provide soil and nutrients for other plant species like shrubs and small trees. 1st species to colonize the area.
What are pioneer species
What is the difference between artificial selection and natural selection?
DAILY DOUBLE
Artificial Selection is breeding plants or animals for a particular trait. It is also called “ Selective Breeding”.
Natural selection is the process through which populations of living organisms adapt and change.
The 4 types of precipitation
What is hail, snow, rain and sleet.
The four kingdoms of Eukarya organisms are
DAILY DOUBLE
What is protist, Fungus, plants, and animals.
These microorganisms are capable of transforming atmospheric nitrogen.
What is Nitrogen-fixing bacteria
These types of animals have backbones inside their body. They make up Less than 10% of the animals on earth.
What are Vertebrates
How do insects become resistant to pesticides?
One protection mechanism is to increase the number of copies of a gene, allowing the organism to produce more of a protective enzyme that breaks the pesticide into less toxic chemicals.
The layers of the Earth starting from the ground to outer space
What is troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, Exosphere
In this level of organization you would find both abiotic and biotic factors.
What is ecosystem
This is where you would find secondary carnivores in the energy pyramid.
what is the 4th level.
What is the top level.
This type of cycle happens over millions of years and involves the exchange of carbon between rocks and the Earth's surface.
What is Long Term Carbon Cycle
What is the difference between primary and secondary succession?
Primary succession is the process in which plants and animals first colonize a barren habitat.
Secondary Succession differs from primary succession in that it begins after a major disturbance—such as a devastating flood, wildfire, or human activity (construction) wipes away part of a landscape.
