Biomes
This is an environmental area that is characterized by the amount of precipitation, climate and the type of organisms that live there.
What is a biome?
The variety of life in an ecosystem is called this.
What is biodiversity?
What is sustainable?
These are the two types of ecological succession.
What are primary and secondary succession?
This human body system transports nutrients and oxygen to cells.
What is the circulatory system?
This biome receives little rain and can reach very high temperatures during the day.
What is a desert?
This terrestrial biome has the highest biodiversity.
What is the tropical rain forest?
Environments that contain high biodiversity are more likely to overcome disasters because of this.
What is that they have high sustainability?
Primary succession takes longer than secondary because it must start off on this.
What is rocks?
This human body system breaks down food, absorbs nutrients, and converts food into energy.
What is the digestive system?
This biome is aquatic and includes places like lakes, ponds, rivers and streams.
What is freshwater?
The blocks in a Jenga game would represent this in an ecosystem.
What is the species/organisms/biodiversity?
What is the stability of the tower of blocks?
Forest fires, hurricanes and floods can all lead to this type of succession.
What is secondary succession?
This human body system provides protection, provides structure and frame for the body and produces new red blood cells.
What is the skeletal system?
Tropical rain forests are relatively warm and receive large amounts of rainfall due to being close to this.
What is the equator?
A food web shows more biodiversity than a food web because there are more of these in it.
What are organisms/species?
This human action can effect the sustainability of an ecosystem greatly by chopping down too many trees.
What is deforestation?
This stable and dominant community of plants and animals is the final stage in both primary and secondary succession.
What is a climax community?
These two human body systems work together to provide chemicals to regulate bone growth, maintain proper blood sugar levels and help to shape mood and feelings with signals from the brain to the rest of the body.
What are the nervous and endocrine systems?
Tropical rain forests have the highest biodiversity, but this biome has the lowest biodiversity.
What is the tundra?
This aquatic biome has the highest biodiversity.
What is the ocean?
This is how sustainability decreases in an environment.
What is a decrease in biodiversity?
What are pioneer species?
This human body system consists of the hair, skin and nails.
What is the integumentary system?
