Levels of Organization
This level of organization is one single organism.
What is an individual?
Which of the nutrient cycles are affected by human activity?
All of them.
Carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and water.
This term describes organisms that produce their own energy, typically from the sun.
What is a consumer?
This property of water is when water molecules are attracted to one another.
What is cohesion?
This element, which can create 4 covalent bonds, is the base of each macromolecule.
What is carbon?
This level of organization is the largest, including all the places on Earth where life exists.
What is a biome?
This nutrient, found in amino acids and proteins, is obtained by consumers by eating plants.
What is nitrogen?
These organisms eat producers but are prey for other larger producers.
What are primary consumers?
This property of water is when water is attracted to other surfaces.
What is adhesion?
This macromolecule is the main component of our cell membrane.
What are lipids?
This level of organization includes all of the living and non-living things in a given area.
What is an ecosystem?
This nutrient is removed from the atmosphere by plants and made into carbohydrates.
What is carbon?
What is predation?
This property of water allows ice to float on top of water.
What is expansion upon freezing?
This macromolecule stores genetic information.
What are nucleic acids?
This level of organization is several individuals of the same species.
What is a population?
This nutrient cycle has its largest sink in mineral rock under the ocean.
What is the phosphorus cycle?
This interaction is when one organism benefits while the other is harmed, but not killed.
What is a parasite?
This property of water, causes water to maintain a consistent temperature.
What is high heat capacity?
This macromolecule, which is made of amino acids, has many different functions.
What are proteins?
This level of organization is several organisms of different species in the same area.
What is a community?
This cycle's sources are evaporation, condensation, and runoff.
This is the amount of energy that is transferred from one trophic level to another.
This is the cause of all properties of water.
What are hydrogen bonds?
The dehydration reaction combines monomers to form macromolecules, with this as a byproduct.
What is water?
