Nitrogen Cycle
Most life can not take this element directly from the air.
What is NITROGEN?
What are the four main processes of the Water Cycle
Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation, Transpiration
This element is the core element of LIFE.
What is CARBON?
This Organism holds the largest amount of ENERGY.
Water, Temperature and the sun are know as these kind of Factors.
What are Abiotic Factors?
What organisms convert nitrogen into different forms in the soil?
The process by which water vapor cools to form clouds.
What is CONDENSATION?
This process in the Carbon Cycle is where plants absorb CO2 to make food (glucose)
Organisms that eat ONLY meat.
What are Carnivores?
Animals, Fungi and Baceria are known as this kind of Factor?
What are Biotic Factors
The name of the process of changing free nitrogen into usable nitrogen.
What is Nitrogen fixation?
What process by which Solar energy changes liquid water into gas vapor.
What is EVAPORATION?
In this process animals release CO2 back into the air?
What is RESPIRATION?
Removing this consumer would cause the producers to overgrow?
What is the Tertiary Consumer?
What level of Consumers eat Herbivores.
What are Secondary Consumer?
How do consumers get nitrogen?
By eating plants or other animals
The process by which water falls back to earth as rain or snow.
What is PRECIPITATION?
The process of returning Carbon back to he soil.
What is DECOMPOSITION?
Organisms that eat BOTH plants and animals.
What are OMNIVORE?
Only this amount of energy transferred to the next trophic level.
Nitrogen moves from soil to plants, then to animals, and back to soil via these organisms?
What are DECOMPOSERS?
Which process by which plants release water vapor into the air.
What is TRANSPIRATION?
What 2 processes in the cycling of matter includes Producers, Consumers and Decomposers?
What is the Carbon and Oxygen Cycles
Another name for Primary Consumers.
What are Herbivores?
This amount of energy is lost as heat at each trophic levels.
What is 90%
