The abundant primary producer in the ocean (saltwater).
What is phytoplankton?
The nonliving factors in an ecosystem.
What is abiotic?
The amount of energy passed from one trophic level to the next in an energy pyramid.
What is 10?%
Nitrates are formed when lightning combines oxygen in the air and energy is released when it strikes.
What is a lightening fixation or nitrogen fixation?
A ladybug cannot produce its own food. It must eat plants and leaves to survive. That is why it is classified as this on an energy flow pyramid .
What is primary Consumer?
Referring to the Figure above, the coyotes.
What is tertiary consumer or Apex Predator?
One of these is made with several overlapping food chains.
What is a food web?
In this process, Carbon Dioxide and methane trap heat radiated from the earth's surface as sunlight bounces up.
What is Greenhouse Effect?
The apex predator in the food web above.
What is the mountain lion?
The use of mathematical equations and computers to predict or interpret patterns that scientists cannot experiment on, usually because they are much too large. Example: Measuring temperature and humidity in a greenhouse.
What is modeling?
The whole picture represents one of these.
What is a food chain?
An animal that only eats plants is called an herbivore and can only be located on this trophic level of a food pyramid.
What is primary consumer?
The same seasonal patterns of temperature and precipitation occurring on different continents categorizes these areas as the same type.
What is a biome?
The pictures represent different ones.
What are biomes?
The type of diagram that shows a model of an ecosystem and the amounts of energy in each trophic level relative to the first level.
What is a an energy pyramid?
The pod of Beluga whales in an ecosystem represents this.
What is a population?
The main 2 factors in analyzing the climate of a region.
What is long term temperature and precipitation?
This cycle differs from the other biogeochemical cycles because it does not cycle through the atmosphere.
What is the phosphorous cycle?
The living organisms in this arctic ecosystem represent this.
What is a community?
This pyramid shows the amount of an organism or organisms need to support the trophic level above?
What is pyramid of biomass?
The organism with the lowest energy consumption from the original source.
What is a shark?
The type of factors that wind, humidity, and rocks are in a terrestrial ecosystem.
What is abiotic?
The area of the ocean where light does not shine.
What is the aphotic zone?
The amount of energy from the primary producers to an organism on the tertiary consumer level.
What is 0.1%?
