Animals and Plants
The difference between predator and prey.
Predator = the organism that hunts for food
Prey = the organism being hunted
Energy in motion
What is Kinetic Energy?
A place where the biotic and abiotic factors are similar throughout.
What is a biome?
Evergreen, cone-bearing trees
What are Coniferous trees?
A weather tool that measures wind speed.
What is an Anemometer?
DAILY DOUBLE!
Come up with an example of a food chain that has one of each of the following organisms:
Decomposer, Producer, Carnivore, Herbivore
Stored energy.
What is Potential Energy?
A symbiotic relationship in which both organisms benefit.
What is an mutualism?
Trees that have leaves which fall off each year
What is Deciduous?
A body of air in which temperature and density are similar throughout.
What is an Air Mass?
The bottom of nearly every food chain begins with this type of organism.
What are Producers?
Energy produced by vibrations
What is Sound Energy?
a symbiotic relationship in which one organism benefits and one is harmed
What is parasitism?
Permanently frozen layer of soil beneath the topsoil in the Tundra biome
What is Permafrost?
A weather tool that measures atmospheric pressure.
What is a Barometer?
An organism which helps break down dead organisms and gives nutrients back to the soil.
What are Decomposers?
Energy stored based on its position off the ground
What is Gravitational Potential Energy?
The difference between abiotic and biotic factors.
What is abiotic = not alive and biotic = alive?
This zone is located between two latitudes (Cancer and Capricorn) and has a warm temperature all year
What is the Tropical Zone?
A transfer of heat energy in the air through currents.
What is Atmospheric Convection?
An interaction that occurs between organisms that need the same resource at the same time.
What is Competition?
The total kinetic and potential energy.
What is Mechanical Energy?
A symbiotic relationship in which one organism benefits and one is unaffected
What is commensalism?
This is located in the middle latitudes and has a moderate climate.
What is the Temperate Zone?
DAILY DOUBLE!
This is when a cold air mass quickly pushes up a warm air mass which causes thunderstorms, heavy rain, or snow followed by cool, dry weather.
