This organelle controls what enters and leaves the cell
What is the cell membrane?
Bacteria are classified as this type of cell because they do not have a nucleus
What are prokaryotes?
Energy ______ while Matter _________
What is FLOWS and CYCLES?
What process converts glucose into usable ATP energy
What is cellular respiration
an organism that makes its own organic molecules from inorganic sources is called this.
What is a producer?
This organelle contains DNA and genetic information
What is the nucleus?
In a bacterial cell, DNA is found in this region rather than inside a membrane-bound nucleus
What is a nucleoid region?
According to the rule regarding energy transfer from one trophic level to the next, what percentage of energy gets passed on?
Name the three things that go into photosynthesis
What are carbon dioxide, water, and light?
An organism that gets organic molecules by consuming other organisms is called this.
What is a consumer?
This organelle makes proteins
What are ribosomes?
The substance makes up the bacterial cell wall
What is peptidoglycan?
If producers have 20,000 kcals of energy, how much energy is available to the primary consumers?
What is 2,000 kcals?
Name the two major products of photosynthesis
What are glucose and oxygen?
In the chain grass --> grasshopper --> mouse --> snake --> hawk, what trophic level is the mouse?
What is the secondary consumer?
This organelle packages, tags, and ships proteins
What is the golgi apparatus?
What is having a cell wall especially helpful for bacteria living in harsh environments?
What is protection/structural support?
Name two ways organisms use energy that is not transferred to the next trophic level.
What is movement/growth/maintaining body function/reproduction/cellular respiration/waste/heat?
Put these in the correct order: cellular respiration & photosynthesis and identify the organelle responsible for each
What is Photosynthesis --> Cellular Respiration?
What is Chloroplast & Mitochondria?
Why can the same animal occupy different trophic levels in different food chains?
Different predators/different food sources depending on its habitat.
This molecule is made by the mitochondria during cellular respiration.
What is ATP?
Name two ways bacteria contribute to ecosystems and explain how at least one connects to matter cycling
What are decomposition/nutrient cycling/nitrogen cycling/carbon cycling/symbiosis
What is the first step of the nitrogen cycle? (name of the step and who carries it out)
What is denitrification and bacteria?
A plant uses carbon dioxide, water, and light to produce glucose and oxygen. What process is occurring and where does it happen?
What is photosynthesis in the chloroplast?
If a keystone species is removed from an ecosystem, what would you generall expect to happen to organisms above and below it in the food chain?
What are decreases in trophic levels above it and increases in trophic levels below it?
