the autotrophs in a food web; there are always the MOST of these in a food web, and they are dependent on the sun for energy
What is a producer
100
the group of processes that are responsible for recycling water on Earth
What is the water cycle!
100
water leaving plants through leaves as they perform photosynthesis
What is Transpiration
100
The source of all energy in a food web is missing. Draw it in.
What is the sun.
100
huge communities of life in giant habitats; characterized by their abiotic factors
What is biome.
200
the heterotrophs in a food web that consume other organisms.
What is a Consumer
200
- substances, such as water, changing state from a liquid form to a gaseous form (in water cycle: the sun heating up water from the ocean, lakes, and rivers)
What is evaporation
200
a chemical element that forms nearly 80% of the Earth’s atmosphere; it’s also found in soil and is very important for PLANT GROWTH
What is nitrogen
200
Label all of the producers and consumers (include whether they are primary, secondary, or tertiary) in the food web above.
What is - see web
200
-abiotic means “non-living”-these are factors that characterize biomes, such as rainfall, temperature, and soil composition
What is abiotic factor
300
the bacteria/fungi in a food web that break down dead organisms and return them to the soil in the form of nutrients
What is the decomposer
300
- gaseous form of a substance cooling back to a liquid form (in water cycle: water vapor cooling into clouds in the atmosphere)
What is condensation
300
How well are you going to do on the test?
What is "you are going to rock it!"
300
Name two organisms that have a COMPETITIVE relationship in this food web
What is (see web)
300
biome characterized by heavy snow (little rain), permafrost (ground permanently frozen so no trees can grow), an extremely cold temperatures (decomposers can barely work here), and poor soil
What is Tundra
400
another name for “job” you have in the ecosystem; refers to how you get your energy
What is trophic level
400
liquid water falling back to Earth from clouds in the form of rain, sleet, or snow
What is Precipitation
400
the process by which BACTERIA change nitrogen that is NOT useful to plants into a useable form
What is nitrogen fixation
400
biome characterized by moderate temperature and rainfall, but very high wind and grassfires. No trees grow here.
What is Grassland
400
biome characterized by snows and thawed ground that allows CONIFEROUS trees to grow year round (too cold for seasonal trees); soil is rich because of decaying conifer needles
What is Taiga
500
the most essential “element of life” found in all living thing
What is carbon dioxide
500
water moving from the ground (in lakes, rivers, or underground caverns) back to the ocean
What is runoff
500
biome characterized by VERY LITTLE RAINFALL, high temperatures during day and low temperatures at night, and generally rich soil
What is Desert
500
biome characterized by very warm temperatures, very HIGH rainfall, and VERY rich soil. There is an extraordinary diversity of life in the rainforest! (more species than all other biomes combined, easily)
What is Rainforest
500
biome characterized by moderate temperatures (all four seasons! Where WE live!) and moderate rainfall. The soil is rich because of the cycle of the seasons.
