Name and give an of the biotic organisms that breakdown dead organisms. 

What is decomposers? 

200

This kind of adaptation is a change to how an organism functions; change to internal process

What is physiological

200

Begins with of biotic organisms and will end with biotic organisms.

What is secondary succession? 

200

Explain what happens in the food web below if the humans over fished the octopus. 


The sharks would loose a food source causing increasing in competition between shark and human for fish. 

Mussels and Limpets will begin to overpopulate as the loose a predator.  

200

Disadvantage to sexual reproduction

Amount of energy moved to each level as you move up the trophic pyramid (energy).

What is 10%? 

300

This kind of adaptation is a change to how an organism is "shaped". 

What is structural

300

The image below is an example of ....

What is secondary succession?

In a desert environment, sudden rainstorms create short-lived ponds. Some frogs have thicker skin that allows them to retain water and survive long periods buried underground after the ponds dry up. Other frogs lack this trait and die once the water disappears. What can be expected to happen in this frog population after many generations?

There will be more and more frogs with the "thicker skin" adaptation

Natural disasters that cause secondary succession? Name minimum 3 could be more. 

What are hurricane, flood, forest fire, tsunami, avalanche, earthquake? 

400

Removing the snake from the ecosystem below causes what to happen?

What is causing the bird population to increase which would cause a decrease in grasshoppers and more competition for grasshoppers, allowing more frog for the owl.

Over many generations, the finches on the Galapagos islands beaks changed based on their island. This difference is why the Galapagos finches distinct from similar organisms on the mainland. 


Different food sources.

How is carbon recycled in to the environment? 

Humans breath out CO2 which plants use to create O2. Decomposers breakdown organisms which return carbon to the ground for plants to use as food?

Slow moving deer are easily caught by predators. Over many generations, deer have become faster as only fast deer live long enough to reproduce.
