Abiotic and Biotic

Abiotic

100

This most important abiotic factor on Earth is made of two molecules of Hydrogen and a bit of oxygen

What is Water?

200

Sunlight, water, and temperature are all nonliving factors that support biotic life

What is abiotic life?

300

A non-living part of an ecosystem.

What is an abiotic factor?

400

An abiotic thing is used to enhance the life of a biotic thing, EX: water is used by biotic things

What is the relationship between abiotic and biotic factors?

Biotic

100

A biotic thing is a living thing

What is a biotic factor?

200

Anything that is living...

What is an example of a biotic factor?

300

A biotic thing uses abiotic factors to enhance its life

What is a biotic factor's relationship to a abiotic factor?

400

Oxygen, water, food, living space, and stable internal conditions. FOOD-WATER-SHELTER

What do all biotic things need?

Ecology

100

Interactions among organisms in an ecosystem.

What is ecology?

200

What is the lowest level of ecology? 

The Organism's (individual) ecology is located on this level of ecology 

300

Biome ecology is studied where?

Study of organisms in a group of ecosystems that share a SIMILAR CLIMATE.

400

Organismal, Population, Community, Ecosystem, Biome, Biosphere.

What are the levels of ecology?

Differences and Similarities

100

What is a similarity between abiotic and biotic factors?

They are both on Earth! They are both in every ecosystem.

200

Difference between autotrophs and heterotrophs.

What is autotrophs make their own food, and heterotrophs get it from other sources?

300

Defining consumer groups is easy for every organism? Why or why not?

Not always easy. Some organisms can fit into multiple groups.

400

Detritivores feed on decomposer's waste. Detritivores are final stage in energy cycle, where there waste supplies producers with nutrients.

What is the difference between a detritivore and a decomposer?

Producers and Consumers

100

What is an organism?

An organism is a living thing that lives as a part of the food chain.

200

All energy on Earth must go through this group before any other. (Energy comes from sunlight or chemical energy)

Autotrophs/Primary Producers.

300

All energy in an ecosystem is converted back to usable energy for primary producers to use by which group?

Detritivores.

400

This cycle Starts with sunlight or chemical energy that is converted to usable energy by autotrophs. Consumers use energy gained from autotrophs. Decomposers chemically break down dead/organic matter, producing detritus. Finally detritivores digest waste from decomposers giving nutrients back to primary producers.
