In addition to sunlight, plants need these 2 materials to grow.
What are WATER and SOIL?
100
This is the reason we include the Sun in our food chain/web models.
What is because all energy comes from the Sun?
100
Energy that is used by plants and animals must come from here.
What is the Sun?
100
A drought has killed many flowers. Name the spheres involved and their impact on each other.
What is the hydrosphere impacting the biosphere?
100
Phytoplankton get their energy from this source.
What is the Sun?

Put the following food chain in order: Bees produce honey, flowers use air and water to grow, humans collect and eat honey, bees collect pollen.
What is: flowers use air and water to grow, bees collect pollen, bees produce honey, humans collect and eat honey?
200
A new species is introduced to an ecosystem. This will cause the ecosystem to be healthy or unhealthy. (Pick one)
What is unhealthy?
200
Energy from the sun can only get to animals after it's captured by these organisms.
What are plants?
200
This is the habitat of a sea otter. (Biosphere/Hydrosphere)
What is the Hydrosphere?
200
Matter cycles between organisms and this.
What is the environment?
300
We get energy from eating honey. This is where the energy originally comes from.
What is the Sun?
300
This occurs when an organism does not get its needs met.
What is they die/do not survive?
300
What is (Sun) ---> lettuce ---> caterpillar ---> vole ---> fox?
300
The sea otter is part of this system. (Biosphere/Hydrosphere)
What is the Biosphere?
300
Matter cycles into the environment through these 3 ways.
What is water, air, and soil?
400
When the bees die, these organisms break down the bee's body.
What are bacteria and fungi?
400
We see that the number of bees is declining. Choose the TWO reasons why this is happening.
a. bacteria and fungi are breaking down bees
b. humans have stopped eating honey
c. a new organism that eats bees has entered the ecosystem
d. there are more flowers in the ecosystem
e. a drought has killed many flowers
What are C and E?
c. a new organism that eats bees has entered the ecosystem
e. a drought has killed many flowers
400
A new organism that eats bees has entered the ecosystem. Name the spheres involved and their impact on each other.
What is the biosphere impacting the biosphere?
400
True or False: The sun is part of the Biosphere
What is False?
400
Zooplankton get their energy from this source.
What is eating other animals?
500
When a dead bee is broken down, the materials from it's body go here.
What are the air and soil?
500
We want to know if honey tastes different depending on the flowers bees visit. How would we test this?
Control which flowers the bees collect their pollen and compare the honey they make.
500
Organisms need to eat. Of these 4 choices, choose the reason that is NOT why they eat.
a. to move
b. to feed decomposers
c. to grow
d. to repair their bodies
What is "b," to feed decomposers?
500
Plants/flowers rely on bees to do this.
What is spread pollen?
500
These are the basic needs organisms require to survive.
What are food, air, water, shelter?
