Water Cycle
This term describes the continuous movement of water between Earth's surface and the atmosphere, including all processes like evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.
What is the water cycle?
The continuous exchange of carbon between the atmosphere, living organisms, soil, and oceans is called this.
What is the carbon cycle?
Plants use this process to convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.
What is photosynthesis?
This is the primary source of energy for nearly all life on Earth, and this specific biological process is responsible for capturing that energy and converting it into chemical form.
What is the Sun.
High survival rate throughout most of its lifespan. Produce few offspring but provide significant parental care.
What are type 1 species?
The name of Sponegbob's snail.
Who is Gary?
This process is when water from oceans, lakes, and rivers turns into water vapor and rises into the atmosphere.
What is evaporation?
The process plants use to convert carbon dioxide and sunlight into glucose and oxygen
What is photosynthesis?
This process breaks down glucose to release energy in the form of ATP.
What is cellular respiration?
This rule states that when energy is passed from one trophic level to the next, only a small fraction is stored as biomass, while the other 90% is lost as heat or used for metabolic processes.
What is the 10% Rule?
A constant mortality rathe throughout its lifespan.
What are type 2 species?
The Knick's point guard.
Who is Jalen Brunson?
This is the process where plants release water vapor through their leaves.
What is transpiration?
These organisms break down dead plants and animals, releasing carbon dioxide back into the soil and atmosphere.
What are decomposers?
The tiny pores on the underside of leaves that allow carbon dioxide to enter the plant are called these.
What are stomata?
These organisms recycle nutrients by breaking down dead organic matter from all trophic levels.
What are decomposers?
High death rates for the very young.
What are type 3 species?
Who is Stefon Castle?
This process occurs when water seeps into the ground and moves downward through soil layers to become groundwater.
What is percolation?
When dead organisms are buried deep underground and transformed into coal, oil, or natural gas over millions of years, this process is occurring.
What is fossilization (or the formation of fossil fuels)?
These are the reactants for photosynthesis?
What is water, carbon dioxide and sunlight?
In a complex food web, an organism like a grizzly bear might eat berries (producers) and salmon (primary consumers). What is the term for an organism that occupies both the primary and secondary consumer trophic levels simultaneously?
What is an omnivore?
These species produce many offspring with little care.
What are R-strategists?
SZA's age.
What is 36?
The percentage of Earth's water that is freshwater and available for human use
What is less than 1% (or approximately 0.3%)?
This human activity—the clearing and burning of forests—is a major contributor to rising atmospheric carbon dioxide levels.
What is deforestation?
Photosynthesis stores energy in glucose, while cellular respiration releases this stored energy for cells to use.
What is chemical energy (in the form of ATP)?
If the producers in an ecosystem contain 10,000 kcal of energy, this is the specific amount of energy that would be available to the tertiary consumers.
What is 10 kcal?
These species produce few offspring but offer ample parental care.
What are K-strategists?
The largest mammal on Earth?
What is the blue whale?
