Characteristics of Life 7 Nature of Matter
All living organisms are made up of these
What is a cell
H2O
What is a water molecule
The two climate parameters that determine a biome
What is temperate and precipitation
Organisms that rely on other organism for energy and nutrients
What are heterotrophs
The study of human populations
What is a Demography
What are the characteristics of Life
What is metabolism, homeostasis, reproduction, respond to stimulus, evolve, and growth & development
This element is in all living things and is the foundation element for carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids
What is carbon
Marine biomes are categorized by this parameter
What is depth
This energy system flows in a one way direction only
What is a food chain
Birthrates, deathrates, and age structure
What are the factors on a population growth charts
particles containing proteins, nucleic acids, and sometimes lipids but is not a living thing
What is a virus
scale used to measure the "power of Hydrogen"
What is a pH scale
This biome is characterized by permafrost
What is the tundra
The cycles in an ecosystem that nutrients move throgh
What is biochemical cycles - carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and water
The type of succession you would expect after flooding
What is secondary succession
a personal , rather than a scientic point of view. Subjective attitude rather than an objective attitude
What is a bias
The four spheres that make up the Earth System
What is atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere
Known as floating algae on the ocean surface
What is plankton
This growth graph shows the three stages of population growth
What is the logistic Growth graph
The relationship in this symbiosis is where one organism benefits and the other does not but is not harmed
What is commensalism
Basic unit of matter
What is an atom
The three climate zones on the planet
What is polar, temperate and tropical
A wetland where river mets the ocean.
What is an estuary
This graph show population growth where there is no limiting resource
What is an expotential growth graph
food production, purifying water, storing carbon, pollination/pest control, buffer against extreme weather, nutrient cycling/soil structure
What are the ecosystem services
