Ecology

Definitions

100

• is all the living and non-living things that exist on Earth as well as their interactions with each other

Environment

200

• means that populations of plants, animals, and other living organisms can continue to interact and to reproduce indefinitely.

Sustainability

300

• is the number of different types of organisms in an area. The more types of organisms there are in an area, the more biodiversity the area has. High levels of biodiversity are associated with a healthy, sustainable environment. 

Biodivdersity

400

• is a group of similar organisms in an ecosystem. Members of a species can reproduce with each other.

Species. Bonus 100 if you can tell me the most popular species on Earth

500

• is a group of members of the same species that live in the same area. The physical environment of an organism is its habitat.

What is the ultimate source of energy for Earth

The Sun

400

• The process plants use to capture the energy in sunlight is complex. Plants absorb chemical carbon dioxide gas and combine it chemically with water to produce a third chemical called glucose. Glucose is actually a form of sugar. All sugars are carbohydrates. 

Photosynthesis

What are the 3 sphere of the biosphere?

Hydro, Litho, Atmo

Producers and Consumers

100

• Are organisms that carry out photosynthesis. Terrestrial and aquatic plants, algae, and numerous other organisms are producers. 

Producers

200

• Are organisms that eat other organisms to obtain energy because they cannot produce their own food. 

Consumers

300

Eat only plants

Herbivores

400

Eat only meat

Carnivores

500

Eat both plants and meat

Omnivores

• break down organic matter and release the nutrients in the organic matter back into the ecosystem. The major decomposers are fungi and bacteria. 

Decomposers

400

Catch, hunt and feed on other animals
