This diagram shows the flow of energy from one organism to one other organism in an ecosystem.
What is a food chain?
100
The molecules in this image can be described as this.
What is hot?
100
This is the general term for energy stored in an object due to its position or state.
What is potential enery?
100
This type of resource is considered never-ending and can be used by humans with minimal negative environmental impacts.
What are renewable resources?
100
This occurs when liquid water turns into its gas form - water vapor.
What is evaporation?
200
This trophic level has the most energy.
What are producers?
200
Heat transfers from the sun to the Earth using this method of heat transfer.
What is radiation?
200
The ability to do work is also known as this.
What is energy?
200
Specialized panels, such as the ones pictured here, are used to harness this type of power.
What is solar power?
200
This phenomenon occurs when warm, moist air meets a mountain range, creating a lush ecosystem on the windward side and a desert-like ecosystem on the leeward side.
What is rain shadow?
300
Water, oxygen, rocks, and soil are all examples of this.
What are abiotic factors?
300
This type of heat transfer can be seen when an egg is cracked into a hot pan.
What is conduction?
300
This is the general term for energy found in moving objects.
What is kinetic energy?
300
These resources cause increased CO2 emissions, habitat destruction, and human health concerns. Examples include coal, oil, and natural gas.
What are non-renewable resources?
300
A low pressure system causes this kind of weather.
What is lousy/rainy/stormy weather?
400
A tick feeding off the blood of a dog is an example of this symbiotic relationship.
What is parasitism?
400
Heat always transfers in this direction.
What is hot to cold?
400
This energy transformation occurs when you turn on a battery operated flashlight.
What is chemical to electrical to thermal, light, and heat.
400
Humans have impacted ecosystems around them in a variety of ways. Disturbing ecosystems can lead to the loss of entire species, also known as this.
What is extinction?
400
This term is used to describe a stream-like movement of water in the ocean.
What is an ocean current?
500
Zebra Mussels are considered invasive to Tennessee. In order to be classified as invasive, an organism must meet these two criteria.
What is not from the area and harming native organisms?
500
This color absorbs the most light, and would be a bad idea when deciding what color to make a cup.
What is black?
500
This energy transformation occurs as a roller coaster begins moving down the hill.
What is gravitational potential to kinetic and sound and thermal.
500
High elevations are desirable locations for turbines, which harness this type of power.
What is wind power?
500
This frontal boundary brings rainy weather and warmer temperatures.
What is a warm front?
600
In the following food web, this organism is considered a tertiary consumer.
What is the fox?
600
Heat will continue to transfer between objects or areas until they reach this state.
What is equilibrium?
600
This is true about the total energy of a system according to Isaac Newton.
What is it remains constant because energy is never created or destroyed?
600
This frontal boundary occurs when a warm air mass gets stuck between 2 cool air masses. This boundary can lead to severe weather such as tornados or hurricanes.
What is an occluded front?
