Biodiversity
List 2 places with a very high biodiversity.
Rainforest & Coral reef
A tick sucking the blood of a human is an example of what type of symbiosis?
Parasitism
What is the formula for photosynthesis?
CO2 + H2O + Sunlight = O2 + Glucose
What are the 3 types of plate boundaries?
Divergent, Convergent, Transform
What is an adaptation?
A change that makes a species better suited to it's environment and allows the organism to survive and reproduce.
Name 2 places with a very low biodiversity.
Desert and Arctic.
Orchids grow on trees, the tree provides shelter for the orchid but the tree is not harmed. What type of symbiosis is this?
Commensalism
What is the formula for cellular respiration?
Glucose + O2 = H2O + CO2 + ENERGY
Which plate boundary is most likely to create an earthquake?
Transform boundary
Wolves hunting in a pack is an example of what type of adaptation?
Behavioral Adaptation.
What is biodiversity?
Biodiversity is the variety of plants and animals in an area.
What are the 3 types of symbiosis?
Commensalism, Mutualism, Parasitism
Why is photosynthesis important to humans?
Photosynthesis creates glucose (energy) and oxygen.
What scale is used to measure the power of an earthquake?
Richter scale.
Why would a bear in the Arctic and a bear in the forest have different adaptations?
They live in different environments with different prey.
The Canadian lynx preys only on snowshoe hares. If the lynx population made a major decrease, what would happen to the hare population?
The hare population would increase.
The monarch butterfly is a poisonous butterfly which means that no birds will bother eating it. The viceroy butterfly uses mimicry to look exactly like the monarch, and because of it's resemblance no birds will eat the viceroy even though it is not poisonous. What type of symbiosis is this?
Commensalism
What are the 3 cellular processes?
Cellular respiration, photosynthesis, and fermentation.
Why is Alaska more likely to experience earthquakes than Massachusetts?
Alaska is located on a plate boundary and Massachusetts is not.
Two organisms are competing for a resource. Why would one organism 'win' the competition?
The one who has accidental changes that helps it survive (adaptations) that were passed down from earlier generations.
What is the single greatest threat to biodiversity?
Deforestation.
The growth rate of a population is determined by... (4 things)
1.) Births
2.) Deaths
3.) Immigration
4.) Emigration
What is the purpose of fermentation?
To provide energy when the body cannot receive enough oxygen.
Provide an example of a SLOW process being interrupted QUICK process.
Earthquakes caused by plate motion.
Poison frogs store a neurotoxin that is used to protect them from predators, what type of adaptations is this?
Chemical defense
