Carbon Cycle
What is false?
T/F: If Nitrogen-Fixing Bacteria are removed from an ecosystem, animals and plants can still survive and get nitrogen.
What is false?
T/F: Water can be added/removed from ecosystems.
What is false?
T/F: Ecosystems are made up of many biomes.
What is false? (Biomes are made up of many Ecosystems).
T/F: Humans have an overall positive impact on ecosystems.
What is false?
The burning of fossil fuels
What is Combustion?
The process that turns atmospheric nitrogen into useable nitrogen almost instantly
What is Lightning Fixation?
What is Transpiration?
The characteristics that make up a biome
What is climate and biotic factors (communities of organisms)?
The human impact that happens when the carrying capacity is met and the natural resources can't support the abundance of people
What is Overpopuation?
Dead plant and animal remains turn into this after millions of years
What are fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil)?
How animals get nitrogen in their bodies
What is by eating producers or primary consumers?
Water that flows underground
What is Groundwater?
The biome that is hot during the day and cooler at night, has little precipitation, and its plants and animals have adapted to the heat/lack of water
What is the Desert?
Joro Spiders, Kudzu, and the Spotted Bass taking over natural resources in ecosystems
What are Invasive Species?
The process of the Carbon Cycle that is also part of the Water Cycle
What is Respiration?
The most common way that nitrogen fixation occurs
What is Bacteria Nitrogen Fixation?
When water vapor cools and returns to liquid
What is Condesation?
The biome with most biodiversity and most precipitation?
What is the Tropical Rainforest?
The human impact that would cause an animal to move from its habitat due to temperature increase
What is Climate Change?
The process of the Carbon Cycle that takes carbon out of the atmosphere
What is photosynthesis?
The percentage of Earth's atmosphere that nitrogen makes up
What is 78%
The three process of the Water Cycle that release water vapor into the atmosphere
What are Evaporation, Respiration, and Transpiration?
Abiotic factors that make biomes different from one another
*Must get 2 for complete points*
Hint: NOT climate and biotic factors
What are soil type, amount of sunlight, and position near the equator or poles?
The human impact that would cause an animal in the wild (ex: coyotes) to begin to eat farm animals (chickens and sheep)
What is Habitat Loss/Urbanization?
