4.3
The same species that live in the same place at the same time.
What is a population
What are the organisms doing the eating and what is showing the flow of energy in a food chain?
During an organism's life cycle its role in the community (niche) may change. For example, what an animal eats, what eats it, and other relationships may change. Explain the life cycle of a frog and how the niche changes throughout the cycle.
Tadpoles live in water and breathe through their gills and are generally herbivores. However, adult frogs live primarily on land, breathe with lungs, and are carnivores.
The difference between weather and climate.
Weather is the day to day state of the atmosphere for a given area and climate is the weather of a given area averaged over an extended period of time (years).
These are fluffy and white with flat bottoms. They usually indicate fair weather.
What is Cumulus clouds?
The populations of species that live in the same place at the same time together.
What is a community?
Since members of a population interact with other populations in a community they also compete for these and cooperate for this reason?
They complete for resources, mates, territory and they cooperate for their basic needs.
On Earth atmospheric conditions create these weather phenomena and these extreme events
rain, snow, and fog
tornadoes, hurricanes, typhoons, ice storms
This transfers from the sun and impacts air movement and weather conditions.
What is thermal energy?
When the clouds get larger and darker on the bottom, they become his type of cloud and may produce thunderstorms.
What are cumulonimbus clouds?
The greatest amount of energy in an ecosystem is found in these.
What are the producers?
Where an animal or plant lives naturally and provides food, water, shelter, and space?
What is a habitat?
These are formed in warm, humid conditions and produces a brief period of heavy rain and lasts anywhere from 30 mins to an hour. Lighting always precedes these.
What are thunderstorms?
Some weather components that make up climate.
What are average temperature, humidity, wind, and amount of precipitation?
These clouds are smooth, gray clouds that cover the whole sky (and block out direct sunlight). Light rain and drizzle are usually associated with stratus these clouds.
What are Stratus clouds?
How the sun's energy cycles through the ecosystem.
What is from producers through consumers and back into the nutrient pool through decomposers?
The function or role that an organism performs in the food web of that community?
A niche
These occur over warm, tropical water and have winds equal to or greater than 74 miles per hour.
What are hurricanes?
Some components used to describe weather
What are temperature, atmospheric pressure, wind speed, precipitation, and cloudiness?
These clouds are feathery. They are associated with fair weather. They often indicate that rain or snow will fall within several hours. High pressure air masses are associated with clear skies and light winds.
What are Cirrus clouds?
What organisms depend on in a community? How energy passes from one organism to another.
What is the survival of other organisms? What is a food chain or food web?
Includes everything else the organism does and needs in its environment and no two types of organisms occupy these in a community.
What is a niche?
These mostly form from thunderstorms as the wind changes direction and air begins to rotate.
What are tornadoes?
These help meteorologists forecast the weather.
What are data describing these components (weather are temperature, atmospheric pressure, wind speed, precipitation, and cloudiness) along with the knowledge of atmospheric processes?
These air masses are associated with stormy weather and strong winds.
What are low pressure air masses?
