Scientific Method
This is the first step of the scientific method.
What is observation
This is the number of organisms in a given area
What is population density.
These organisms occupy trophic level 1
What are producers
These are lake attributes measured at a discrete point in time
What are structural metrics
These are the two types of natural resources?
What is Renewable and non-renewable
This step in the scientific method you test your hypothesis.
What is Experiment
These are the living components of needed for a population to thive
What are biotic factors
This diagram reflects the diversity in an ecosystem
What is food web
This is a functional metric of ecosystem health
What is ecosystem health
This resource replenishes slower than humans use them and are very expensive
What are nonrenewable resources
This data uses numbers to describe results.
What is quantitative data.
This population growth pattern is J Shape and occurs in ideal unlimited environments
What is exponential growth
This is the Blanket of gases surrounding the Earth and contains nitrogen and carbon
What is atmosphere
GPP is the measure of what processes?
What is photosynthesis?
This is the CO2 trail created from our daily activities.
What is carbon footprint
These are the 6 steps of the scientific method
What is Observation, Hypothesis, Experiment, Observe and Record, Analyze Results, Share Results.
A species transferred from its native habitat to a different
What are invasive species
In this ecological relationship, both organisms benefit
What is mutualism
This is an indicator of ecosystem metabolism and measures consumption or production
What is oxygen
This is the trail made from natural resource use.
What is ecological footprint
You should do this if your hypothesis is not supported by your data.
What is Revisit your hypothesis, change it and test again.
These populations live long, grow large, and have few babies at a time
What are K-selected
This is a process to turn nitrogen gas into a usable form, like ammonium, for other organisms to use
What is nitrogen fixation.
An increase in production occurs during this time of day
What is when the sun is out / daytime
These are human-made greenhouse gases that deplete the ozone layer
What are CFCs
