Biogeochemical Cycles
Name all five processes of the water cycle.
Evaporation
Condensation
Precipitation
Transpiration
Sublimation
An explanation and example of mutualism.
What is both organisms benefiting?
The difference and definitions of autotroph and heterotroph.
Autotrophs make their own food.
Heterotrophs eat their own food.
What is the definition of Keystone Species
Species on which other species in an ecosystem largely depend, such that if it were removed the ecosystem would change drastically
Where do the light dependent reactions take place
What is thylakoid membrane
Which cycle does not involve the atmosphere
The phosphorus cycle
An explanation and example of parasitism
What is when one organism benefits while the other is harmed?
Define producers and primary consumers, and an example of each.
Producers are usually autotrophs and provide food for herbivores and omnivores. Primary consumers are usually herbivores and eat only producers.
What would happen if a Keystone species disappeared from an ecosystem
The ecosystem would collapse and most living organisms in the environment would die
The names of the two different cycles.
what is the light dependent cycle and the Calvin cycle?
What is Nitrogen fixation?
It is any natural or industrial process that causes free nitrogen
An explanation and example of commensalism.
What is when the organism doesn't benefit, but also isn't harmed?
Define secondary consumers and tertiary consumers, and where they fit into the food chain.
Secondary consumers are omnivores, that are above the primary consumers
Tertiary consumers are at the top of the food chain and are usually carnivores
What trophic level are keystone species usually located?
What is tertiary consumer
What does water turn into after photosynthesis.
What is oxygen
What cycle does fossil fuel interact with.
What is the Carbon Cycle
Is the relationship between people and head lice an example of mutualism, parasitism, or commensalism
What is parasitism
What is the trophic level of a squirrel
What is Primary consumer
Where does the light independent reaction take place
What is the Stroma
Define transpiration
Transpiration is when water vapor is released by plants through the stomata
What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis
What is 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2
