Organisms and Their Relationships
Scientific discipline in which the relationship among living organisms and the interaction the organisms have with their environments are studied.
Ecology :)
How does an autotroph produce food?
collects energy from sunlight or inorganic substances
Define Matter
Anything that has mass and takes up space
What is a symbiotic relationship?
When two organisms interact with one another where one organisms benefits and the other is either unaffected, helped, or harmed.
In Hannah Montana the Movie, what is the name of Miley's horse?
Blue Jeans
What is the difference between abiotic and biotic factors?
abiotic- nonliving
biotic- living
How does a heterotroph get its energy?
Gets its energy requirements by consuming other organisms
A chemical substance that an organism must obtain from its environment to sustain life and to undergo life processes.
Nutrient
List the 3 types of symbiotic relationships
Mutualism
Commensalism
Parasitism
Name the 4 Jonus Brothers. 3 are in the band and the youngest brother is not. The youngest is considered the "bonus Jonus"
Frank the Tank
Kevin
Nick
Joe <3
What is the difference between and organisms habitat and niche?
Habitat- an area where an organism lives
Niche- the role or position that an organism has in its environment
Name the 4 types of herterotrophs discussed in class.
Herbivores
Omnivores
Carnivores
Detritvores
Process when soil bacteria convert fixed nitrogen compounds back into nitrogen gas, which returns to the atmosphere
Denitrification
Where is phosphorus stored in the long term phosphorus cycle?
Rocks
Name 8 official Disney princesses
List the 6 levels of biological organization.
Organisms, populations, biological communities, ecosystems, biomes, and biosphere.
What is the difference between a food web and a food chain.
Food Chain- a simple model that shows how energy flows through an ecosystem
Food Web- a model that represents the many interconnected food chains and pathways in which energy flows through a group of organisms.
List the Biogeochemical cycles discussed in class
Water
Carbon
Nitrogen
Phosphorus
How does the law of conservation of mass relate to the water cycle.
The same water has been cycling the planet since its origin. The same water a T-Rex drank is still cycling through the planet. Mass can not be created or destroyed, it only changes forms.
Water in ice caps, melts, evaporates and cycles again and again.
Who was the first ever winner of American Idol?
Kelly Clarkson
Give an example of the levels of organization in a specific ecosystem. Start with species and work your way up to biome.
Organism- fish
Population- group of fish
Biological Community- all the populations of species (fish, coral, and marine plants)
Ecosystem- Biological community with abiotic factors. Coral reef and the nonliving water surrounding it.
Biome- A group of systems, many coral reefs along the Florida Keys
Biosphere- the entire globe
Draw a food web.
Be able to explain how energy is flowing.
Include all levels of a food web discussed in class.
- autotrophs, heterotrophs, detritvores, carnivores, omnivores, herbivores
Draw the water cycle. (Must have the 4 main mechanisms)
Transpiration
Condensation
Evaporation
Precipitation
Food webs give a better view of the energy flow of an entire ecosystem where as a food chain shows energy flows through single organisms and only one the trophic levels that consume it.
