Photosynthesis & Energy Diagrams
The process of radiant energy being converted to chemical energy
What is the photosynthesis?
A catastrophic event in which storm surges are produced.
What is a hurricane?
A large naturally occurring community of unique vegetation and animals occupying a major world habitat.
What is a biome?
These three natural processes occur constantly and are what result in the wide variety of landforms/landscapes found across Texas.
What are weathering, erosion, and deposition?
The condition for life to exist on Earth, which controls the global temperature.
What is proximity to the Sun?
Organisms which make their own food.
What is a producer?
The type of succession which occurs when pioneer species develop a new ecosystem.
What is primary succession?
A biome that is characterized by warm, wet summers and cold winters. It is also known for having four seasons.
What is the deciduous forest?
This ecoregion is most vulnerable to wind erosion from hurricanes originating in the Gulf of Mexico.
What are the Gulf Coast Prairies & Marshes?
The portion of our atmosphere which blocks most ultraviolet radiation from the Sun.
What is the Ozone Layer?
The gas produced by green plants through the process of photosynthesis.
What is oxygen?
A catastrophic event in which plants are uprooted along a narrow path.
What is a tornado?
The variety of life within an ecosystem, including plants and animals.
What is biodiversity?
An area of land whose water flows into a common body of water such as a lake or river.
What is a watershed?
Astronauts must do this multiple times a day in order to combat the effects of microgravity on their bodies.
What is exercise?
The chemical formula for the main product of photosynthesis.
What is C6H12O6?
A mature, sustainable ecosystem.
What is a climax community?
How an ecosystem with high biodiversity is described.
What is sustainable?
A type of pollution whose source is easily identifiable.
What is point-source pollution?
The accommodation which is used to keep astronauts from drifting off into space during space walks.
What are safety tethers?
The amount of energy that is passed on to the next level in an energy pyramid.
What is a 10%?
The growth of this organism occurs first in primary succession on bare rock.
What is lichen?
The most biodiverse biome.
What is the Tropical Rainforest?
The term used to describe the amount of empty space between soil particles.
What is porosity? (Porous, pores)
The three major conditions for life to exist.
What is an atmosphere, close proximity to the sun, and water?
