What two biological terms can describe plants?
Producers and autotrophs

What scientific term describes the living factors in an ecosystem?
Biotic means pertaining to life.
100
What does biology mean?
Biology means the study of life.

What is a product of photosynthesis?
Glucose
200
What is the gas that animals breathe in but that plants breathe out?
Oxygen
200
What scientific term describes animals that only eat plants? What are two examples of these?
Herbivores. Rabbits are an example of these and so are crickets because they eat plants only.

What are the seven characteristics of life?
1. homeostasis 2. growth 3. reproduction 4. different levels of organization 5. respond to their environment 6. use energy 7. adapt composed of cells

What is an occupation that a biologist might have?
botany zoologist animal behaviorist doctor etc.
300
During photosynthesis, light energy becomes______.
Chemical energy
300
What are the three stages of cellular respiration?
Glycolysis, Kreb's cycle, and Electron Transport Chain
300
What is a characteristic of a predator? What would classify an animal as a predator and what is an example of one? Be specific and give at least three details in your response.
A predator is towards the top of the food chain. An example of a predator is a snake because a snake eats animals that feed on producers. A predator is a secondary or tertiary consumer.

List the 6 levels of organization in the biosphere in order from least to greatest number of organisms (hint: biosphere should be the largest).
individual population community ecosystem biome biosphere

What is a college degree that would require you to take a biology class? (must be something other than biology!)
Any science major (chemistry, life science, environmental science etc.)
400
What is the purpose of chloroplasts in the plant cell? (2 parts)
They capture light energy AND give plants their green color
400
Describe the process of fermentation.
When glucose is broken down but oxygen is not present.
400
What is an example of a food chain? Write out the names of animals that would fit in each part and their role (i.e. producer, tertiary consumer etc.)
Grass - Producer Rabbit - Primary Consumer Fox - Secondary Consumer Mountain Lion - Tertiary Consumer
400
What are three types of biomes? What classifies an area as a biome? (hint: what is different about different biomes?)
A tropical rainforest, Savannah, Taiga, Tundra are all types of biomes. A biome is classified by specific climate conditions as well as the plants and animals that live in it.

What is the difference between a subjective and objective observation?
A subjective observation includes your opinion and bias about what you are observing. An objective observation is stating the specific facts using your 5 senses. An objective observation is specifically measured and contains little to no opinion or bias.

What does the term "carbon sink" mean and why is it called that?
A carbon sink is referring to the trees in the rainforest. The trees absorb so much carbon dioxide that they are referred to as a "carbon sink."
500
Describe Adenosine Tri Phosphate in your own words.
Stored energy that is made in cellular respiration.
500
Draw a picture of the energy pyramid and label the different parts. What are these levels called and why are they stacked in this way?
Tertiary Consumers Secondary Consumers Primary Consumers Producers The different levels are called trophic levels. Producers are at the bottom because they create the most energy. As you move up the pyramid, energy levels decrease.
500
What is biodiversity and why is it important?
Biodiversity describes the many different types of plants and animals in an area. It is important because the more species of plants and animals there are, the greater chance for life to be sustained on earth. (other parts can be included, but answer must contain these pieces)
