changes over time
100
The origin of all energy on Earth.
What is the sun?
100
The reactants AND products in photosynthesis.
What is...
Reactants: Sunlight + Carbon dioxide (6CO2) + Water (6H2O)
Products: Glucose (C6H12O6) + Oxygen (6O2)
100
The process by which producers get carbon.
What is through photosynthesis?
100
The most important organisms in the nitrogen cycle.
What are the bacteria?
100
Carrying capacity.
What is the maximum number of organisms that an ecosystem can sustain?
200
Similarities like elbows in the front limbs of mammals such as bats, penguins and alligators
What is are homologous structures
200
Of the following organisms found in the food web, which belongs to the trophic level with the highest amount of available energy? 
What is the flagellates?
200
The reactants AND products of cellular respiration.
What is...
Reactants: Glucose (C6H12O6) + Oxygen (6O2)
Products: Carbon dioxide (6CO2) + Water (6H2O)
200
The process by which consumers release carbon back into the atmosphere.
What is through cellular respiration?
200
The where is most nitrogen stored? (i.e. The sphere where 78% nitrogen is found).
What is the atmosphere.

Limiting Factors.
Abiotic and biotic factors that affect the growth of a population.
300
Give the outgroup and two species closest related
Outgroup: Platypus
Common: Dogs and bats, Elephants and Tenrecs
300
The number of kcals of energy available to the third trophic level if the food chain begins with 20,000 kcals.
What is 200 kcals.
(20,000 x 0.1 x 0.1)
300
The organisms that perform photosynthesis.
(Producers, consumers, or both?)
What are the producers (plants/phytoplankton/autotrophs)?
300
What 5 carbon cycle steps did we see in our biobottles?
What are:
1. Photosynthesis
2. Respiration
3. feeding
4. Decomposition
5. Gas Exchange
300
The difference between how autotrophs (i.e. plants) and heterotrophs (i.e. animals) obtain nitrogen.
What is: Animals can't get their nitrogen from the environment. Needs to consume plants/other organisms

What human activity(s) has led to an increase in carbon in the atmosphere? 
What is...
1. Burning fossil fuels.
2. Deforestation.
400
The effect that taking away plants such as sugar cane and grass would have this effect on the nitrogen cycle.
What is:
Less nitrogen being available to animals that eat producers.
400

Cycling of key matter!
Mutualism
500
The way that the law of conservation of matter applies to the carbon cycle.
What is the carbon atoms may change forms, but the amount of matter that is cycled never changes?
500
BONUS!!!

Lupine plants growing in a certain national park provide food and shelter for a population of aphids. Scientists recently identified a fungal disease that is expected to reduce the number of lupine plants in the national park.
If there are fewer lupine trees, how will that affect the carrying capacity of the aphids, as well as the aphid population?
What is...
1. The carrying capacity of the aphids will decrease.
2. The population of aphids will decrease.
