Adaptation
What are the two adaptation types?
Behavior & Structural
What role of organism can gain energy without another organism?
Autotroph or Producer
What process is required for organism to evolve?
Natural selection
What is food chain?
Linear interaction between organisms that getting consumed and consuming.
Consumer
Name two behavior adaptation examples we learned last nine week
Migration, Hibernation
What does decomposer do?
Break-down organic materials
What changes after evolution of organism?
Adaptation
What does arrow in food chain & web indicates?
Flow of energy
How much, and what type of energy will be transferred to next trophic level in energy pyramid?
10%, Chemical Energy
What is definition of adaptation? (Keyword must be included in answer)
Adaptation is structural or behavioral feature of organism that allows them to be fit to the environment
Is heterotroph and consumer same?
Not exactly, due to decomposer. Decomposer is in heterotroph while not in consumer
Name all four conditions of natural selection
Variation
Heredity
Fitness of Variation
Selective pressure
If primary consumer disappears, what would happen to secondary consumer?
Secondary consumer will decrease its number
What would happens to biomass of producer if sunlight gets intense and why?
Biomass of producer will increase because higher frequency of light can increase photosynthesis rate.
How does coloration and mimicry are different?
Mimicry's purpose is copying appearance of another organism.
While Coloration purpose is to show off bright color to warn another organism.
What are the all 6 roles of organism that we learned, and how does each of roles obtaining energy?
Autotroph: Not eating, makes energy by photosynthesis
Carnivore: Eat meat
Herbivore: Eat plant
Omnivore: Eat both plant and meat
Detritivore: Eating dead organism
Decomposer: Not eating, break down organic material
Between sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction, which has advantage in natural selection and why?
Sexual reproduction. Sexually reproduced offspring will have non-identical characteristic, which gives them advantage by providing variations to species.
In food web, how can you determine trophic level of consumer?
Look at the preys of that organism, identify highest trophic level of prey to determine trophic level of predator
What was the name of the principle that allows 10% rule exist?
Second Law of Thermodynamic
Why do you think organisms living in same environment can have different adaptation?
Because every organism have different niches (food they eat, their behavior and different living places)
How does decomposer and detritivore differentiated?
Decomposer breaks down dead organic material while detritivore consumes dead organic materials
Although it is rare situation, natural selection can be occurring to asexually reproducing organisms. What makes asexual organism to be going under natural selection?
Mutation changes the adaptations of asexually reproducing organism which causes variation
Mosquitoes cause many death to the human. Even though humans can extinct mosquitoes, we are not doing it. Why do you think humans are not getting rid of mosquitoes? Explain with food chain & web.
Mosquito is part of food chain & web, that might have very complex relationship. Therefore, extinction of mosquito might cause collapse of ecosystem
Why does lower trophic level's biomass is larger compared to higher trophic level's biomass? Explain your answer with energy.
Since energy gets lost as trophic level goes up, lower amount of energy will be available for next trophic level, therefore less biomass can be supported with lower energy.
