Levels of Organization
What is the smallest unit of life that can interact with its environment.?
What is an Individual?
What does biodiversity refer to?
What is carrying capacity?
What is the number of organisms in a species that an ecosystem can support at a time?
What is energy transfer in an ecosystem?
What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?
What is 6CO2+6H20+ENERGY ---> C6H12O6+6O2?
Identify the level of ecological organization that includes all the living organisms in a particular area.
What is a Community?
Why is biodiversity important for ecological stability?
What is biodiversity allows the ecosystem to survive changes in the environment?
Name a biotic limiting factor and an abiotic limiting factor?
Teacher discretion.
Teacher discretion
How is glucose important for living organisms?
What is glucose is a source of energy for living organisms?
Define the term "ecosystem" and give an example.
What is the biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) components in an area?
Name one way human activity can threaten biodiversity?
At what point does logistic growth begin to level out?
What is when the population reaches carrying capactity?
Why are food webs more complex than food chain?
What is that a food chain is one feeding relationship, while a food web is multiple feeding relationships in an ecosystem and show all the available organisms that can be eaten? (teacher discretion)
How does photosynthesis contribute to the energy flow in ecosystems?
What is producers go through photosynthesis to grow and herbivores eat the producers to transfer the energy?
What level of ecological organization consists of a group of individuals of the same species?
What is a population?
How does climate change relate to human impact on the environment?
What is human activities add large amounts of CO2 to the environment increasing global temperatures? (teacher discretion)
How does the reproduction rate influence exponential growth?
What is affects the rate of the population growth and speed of reaching carrying capacity?
How does the 10 percent rule impact energy available for top producers?
What is decreases the available energy for top predators?
Explain the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?
What is chlorophyll absorbs sunlight in the chloroplast to convert inputs into outputs?
Describe the relationship between communities and ecosystems.
Explain how biodiversity can impact food webs.
What is increase the variety of available food sources? (Teacher discretion)
How can carrying capacity be affected by human activities?
How does an energy pyramid illustrate energy loss in an ecosystem?
What is shows the decrease in energy as you move up the trophic levels?
Describe how photosynthesis affects atmospheric carbon dioxide levels.
What is photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere?
