This makes its own food
What is a producer?
What are the two dry biomes? One is dry and hot containing plants like cacti, the other is frigid and dry and has permafrost and no trees
What are the desert and tundra?
What happens if you take a keystone out of an arch?
It crumbles.
What is this called?
What is a food chain?
What is this an example of?
Food web
What is a consumer?
These 2 rainy biomes contain tall trees, while one is more mild in temperature with animals like deer and salmon, the other is very warm including animals like monkeys and toucans.
What are the temperate rainforest and tropical rainforests?
What is the definition of keystone species?
An organism that the ecosystem depends on
Most producers get their energy from where?
the sun (some from chemical vents of the ocean)
What is more complex and accurate: a food web or a food chain? Why?
Food web: shows more organisms, expresses more energy transfer, shows how organisms are interrelated,
This type of organism gets energy by breaking down dead orgnisms.
What is a decomposer?
This biome is found all over the world and has other names like grassland and prairie.
What is savanna? (ooh na na)
This animal is a keystone species because it...
- builds dams that affect the flow of rivers
- cuts down trees it chops down
- flooded trees provide housing for bird nests
What keystone species is this?
What is a beaver?
The most energy in an ecosystem is with what group? ( producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers, decomposers)
Producers
What do the arrows in a food chain or food web represent?
Direction of energy flow
Give an example of a producer, consumer, and decomposer.
Producer- tree, flower, grass
Consumer- buffalo, cow, bird, shark
Decomposer- worm, beetle, mushroom
This mountain biome has cold temperatures, but not as cold as the tundra.
What is taiga?
What is an example of a keystone species?
Wolf, beaver, starfish
What do the arrows in a food chain or web represent?
Direction of energy flow
Give one example of an organism at each level of the energy pyramid
Producer- plant
primary consumer- herbivore or omnivore
Secondary consumer- omnivore or carnivore
Tertiary consumer- omnivore or carnivore
Chemosynthesis
This biome is prone to fires and has plants that can grow from the nutrients deposited by the ash of fires.
What is chaparral?
- changes deer pop
- deer stop grazing in valleys
- vegetation grows back
- rivers change direction
- more river wildlife
A is a primary producer a herbivore or carnivore?
draw out an energy pyramid with 4 levels and the percentage of energy at each level
