Ecosystems 1
An organism that eats secondary consumers.
What is a tertiary consumer.
An organism that uses sunlight to create its food
What is a producer
The order of "what eats what" for a specific set of organisms. It is linear.
What is a food chain?
The organisms at the bottom of the food pyramid are called this...
What are producers?
Air, water, and the Sun are all ......
What is are abiotic factors?
O2
CO2
What is Carbon Dioxide?
An organism that feeds on dead and decaying organisms
What are decomposers?
Plant reaction to stimuli to better help them survive (plant survival instinct)
What is Tropism?
Plants use this process to turn light into chemical energy
What is photosynthesis?
The source of energy that is absorbed by plants for photosynthesis.
What is sunlight?
Different levels of a food chain are defined by this.
What is Trophic Levels?
This trophic level represents when an organism eats a producer.
What is a primary consumer? (Level 2)
The directions of the arrows show...
What is energy flow?
What is Plant Dormancy?
What is 10%?
This process is the opposite of photosynthesis
What is cellular respiration?
What is 10%?
an organism that feeds mostly on dead things
What is a decomposer?
The living and nonliving things and the ways they interact in an environment (ex: redwood forest, swamp, Mojave Desert)
What is an ecosystem?
An organism in a food chain that eats the organisms which eat the producers.
What is secondary consumer?
Food chains that is interconnected/overlaps in a particular ecosystem
What is a food web?
Living organisms in an ecosystem are called...
What is biotic?
C6H12O6 is...
Glucose (Sugar)
phytoplankton -> minnow -> tuna -> shark
What is an aquatic food chain?
Organism that eats a tertiary consumer
What is a quaternary consumer?
100%, 10%, 1%, 0.1%
What is the percentage of energy at each trophic level?
A plant growing towards the sunlight to better survive in its ecosystem.
What is Phototropism?
bacteria, fungi, worms, ants, beetles, sow bugs
What are some examples of decomposers?
Example of a producer in a marine ecosystem
What is algae?
Plants added this abiotic factor to the environment that made animal life possible.
What is oxygen?
Plants grow towards the sun to make it easier to photosynthesize.
What is Phototropism?
These can impact ecosystems as a whole, biomes, food webs, food chains, or even individual organisms in different ways. Some are vital to the survival of an ecosystem, others only destroy.
What are abiotic factors?
