Oxygen
100
Who is the source of all food in the ecosystem?
Producers
100
A series of events in which one organism eats another and obtains energy
Food chain

200
Tubes in the stem of plants used to transport water throughout the plant
Xylem ("Xylem Water" brand!)
200
The three ingredients for photosynthesis are...
Carbon Dioxide Sunlight Water
200
The three types of consumers are:
Omnivores Carnivores Herbivores
200
What energy flow diagram consists of overlapping food chains in an ecosystem?
Food web
200
After you observe, ask a question, and construct a hypothesis...what happens next?
Design and/or conduct the experiment
300
A colorless, odorless gas released during photosynthesis
Oxygen
300
This material has the specific role of capturing sunlight for the process of photosynthesis
Chlorophyll
300
A carnivore (emphasis on carnivore, a type of consumer) that feeds on the bodies of dead organisms
Scavengers
300
Which diagram is more revealing of how food/energy is transferred: Food chain or web? Why...
Food web
300
There are 204 bones in the adult body. True or False?
False; 206
400
An organelle unique to a plant cell. The location where photosynthesis occurs
Chloroplast
400
Synthesis means "________________________" (Greek)
Putting together (more or less)
400
This energy role breaks down biotic wastes and dead organisms and returns the raw materials to the ecosystem.
Decomposer
400
Why is the pyramid heaviest at the bottom?
Most energy is derived through there (producers)
400
What is the chemical symbol for gold?
Au
500
Define photosynthesis
(More or less) The process by which carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight are converted into glucose and oxygen by green plants.
500
What does the general chemical reaction look like for photosynthesis?
Carbon Dioxide + Water + Light ==> Sugar + Oxygen
500
A scavenger is directly under what classification?
Carnivore
500
Why is it not necessarily true that organisms at higher feeding levels require less energy to live than those of lower levels?
Because so much energy is converted to heat at each level (90%), the amount of E available at the producer level limits the number of consumers that the ecosystem can support
500
Which atomic particles have a negative electric charge: neutrons, protons or electrons?
Electrons
M
e
n
