Key Concepts
What type of matter is Carbon Dioxide?
Abiotic Matter
a set of interacting parts forming a complex whole
a system
There is a glass ball. It can be covered and uncovered. The ESMs are going up in the plants and animals. Is is covered or uncovered?
Uncovered
What is a producer and how do they get their energy
A producer is a plant, get their energy from sunlight and carbon dioxide
The total amount of carbon in an ecosytem does/ does not change
does not
When there is less carbon in abiotic matter, there is ------- carbon for the plants (biotic matter)
more
matter that makes up the nonliving parts of an ecosystem, such as air, water, and rocks
Abiotic Matter
There is a glass ball. It can be covered and uncovered. The ESMs are decreasing in the plants and animals. Is is covered or uncovered?
covered
What is a primary consumer and how do they get their energy?
They are herbivores, get energy from plants
a closed ecosystem made by humans is called a
biodome
If one part of a system changes then One, some, or all, of the system is affected.
all
the part of a cell where photosynthesis happens
Chloroplasts
There is a glass ball. It can be covered and uncovered. The carbon in the air was high but now it is decreasing. Is is covered or uncovered?
Uncovered
What is a secondary consumer and how do they get their energy?
They are carnivores, get their energy from eating primary consumers
When there is more sunlight, producers can make ---- ESMs
MORE
the chemical reaction between oxygen and glucose that releases energy into cells
Cellular Respiration
It is night. The sun isn't shining and the animals aren't eating. Is the Co2 being transferred into and out of, just out of, or just into the air.
transferred into
What is a decomposer and how do they get their energy?
They break down dead matter/omnivores, they get energy from eating dead matter such as leaves and dead animals.
When there is more carbon is abiotic matter, there is more or less in biotic matter?
less
a molecule that organisms can use to release the energy needed to survive
Energy Storage Molecules
It is daytime. The sun is shining and the animals are eating. Is carbon moving into the living things, moving out of the living things, or into and out of the living things?
CO2 in an ecosystem never changes the total amount. What are the 2 factors the carbon can go into?
Abiotic and Biotic
