Easy
do plants need food?
yes
where do plants get food and what is the process called that makes the actual food
sun; photosynthesis
give me an example of an omnivore
us
give me an example of a detritivore?
earthworm
what part of the plant body captures the sunlight
the leaves
why can people not photosynthesize?
we do not have chloroplasts
how are photosynthesis and cellular respiration connected?
the products of one are needed in the other
what two organisms fix nitrogen into a usable form for us?
bacteria and legume plants
what is an energy pyramid
shows how energy flows through an ecosystem
what would happen if the sun died
we would all die
what is an ecosystem?
the living and nonliving things interacting together in an area
what is a producer? also, give me an example
something that makes its own food - plant
what little piece of the cell actually does photosynthesis?
chloroplasts
what is the difference between a decomposer and a detritivore?
decomposer breaks down dead thing and then detritivores eat the remains
since I do not photosynthesize, what must I do to get energy?
eat food
does photosynthesis happen in all organisms?
how about cellular respiration?
yes
what is a consumer? also, give me an example
something that must eat other organisms for food - us
name the five things that makeup the photosynthesis equation
water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, light, and glucose
name the five things that makeup the cellular respiration equation
ATP, glucose, water, oxygen, carbon dioxide
what is the specific type of energy that we need in our bodies?
ATP
what is a herbivore
eats plants only
what is a carnivore?
eats meat only
what is the definition of cellular respiration
changing food into energy
what part of the cell actually does the process of cellular respiration?
mitochondria
what is the difference between a food web and a food chain
food web is more complex, involves all the organisms in an ecosystem
