Energy Pyramid
This is the original source of energy for (virtually) all ecosystems.
What is the Sun?
(also acceptable - sunlight)
This is the source of ENERGY for photosynthesis.
What is the Sun?
(also acceptable: sunlight)
This is what we call an educated guess. Must spell correctly.=)
What is a HYPOTHESIS?
This is the total NUMBER of LAYERS in the GEOSPHERE and ATMOSPHERE. combined.
What is NINE (9)?
(Inner Core, Outer Core, Mantle, Crust, Tropo, Strato, Meso, Thermo, Exo)
This is the Earth's Sphere that includes BACTERIA.
What is the BIOSPHERE?
This is the name for the type of organisms in the bottom trophic level of every energy pyramid.
(HINT: has more than 7 letters...)
What are PRODUCERS?
These are the chemical FORMULAS for the TWO sources of MATTER for photosynthesis.
What are CO2 and H2O?
This is the type of variable associated with the 'frozen puppy' motion.
What is CONTROLLED VARIABLE?
This is the PHYSICAL PROPERTY of MATTER that is most directly responsible for the GEOSPHERE and ATMOSPHERE being organized into LAYERS.
What is DENSITY?
(mass per unit volume)
This is the name for the type of plate boundary where the plates are sliding alongside each other.
What is a TRANSFORM boundary?
This is how much available energy there is in the next trophic level up, if the original level has 105 kcal.
What is 104 kcal?
These are the chemical formulas for the two PRODUCTS of photosynthesis.
What are C6H12O6 and O2?
This is the number of independent variables that should be tested at one time, in a fair experiment.
What is ONE?
This is the letter corresponding to which of the below are NOT a SYSTEM:
A.) A bicycle
B.) A pile of laundry
C.) The Earth
What is B?
(Remember a SYSTEM is a set of parts that work together to do something.)
This is the name of the Earth's Sphere that the Great Wall of China is a part of.
What is the BIOSPHERE?
This is the type of organism that exists outside (or next to) the energy pyramid.
What are DECOMPOSERS?
This is the name of the process that is the INVERSE of photosynthesis.
What is CELLULAR RESPIRATION?
This is the DEPENDENT VARIABLE in the following scenario:
Frances does an experiment to see if eating more for breakfast each day makes her grow taller.
What is Frances' height/growth?
This is the sum of the ATOMIC NUMBERS of the TWO most common ELEMENTS in the Earth's atmosphere.
What is 15 (Nitrogen-7 and Oxygen-8)?
Joe performs an experiment to see if lefthanded people can throw balls farther.
This is the type of variable that the TYPE of BALL being thrown is.
What is a CONTROLLED variable?
This is the name for the nonliving factors, or parts, of an ecosystem (eg air, temperature, rocks.)
What is ABIOTIC?
This is the number of letters combined, in these two words: the name of the pigment AND the organelle required for photosynthesis.
What is 22?
(chlorophyll, chloroplast)
This is the INDEPENDENT VARIABLE in this scenario: Joe is trying to see if he can run faster with different colored shoes.
What is the color of his shoes?
This is the result (value) if you divide the amount of available energy at the TERTIARY CONSUMER trophic level, by the amount of available energy at the PRODUCER level.
What is 0.001 (or 1/1000)?
This is the total number of OXYGEN atoms on the REACTANT side of the chemical equation for photosynthesis.
What is 18?
