Tropical Rainforest have about this many short winter days in a normal year.
What is None
100
A food chain is a diagram of how energy and this pass among organisms in an ecosystem.
What is nutrients
100
Consumers give this off, producers need it to carry out photosynthesis.
What is carbon dioxide?
100
this is the role of a species in an ecosystem
What is a niche?
100
This organism helps break down and decay dead organisms.
What are decomposers?
200
A Tropical Rainforest has nearly the same amount of these two things all year long.
What is temperature and sunlight?
200
This is why a food web is different than a food chain.
What is a food web shows that one organism might be food for several different organisms?
200
Howler monkeys spend most of their time here
What is in the trees?
200
This is the process by which plants use sunlight to make sugar
What is photosynthesis?
200
Some bacteria can change nitrogen compound back to this.
What is nitrogen gas?
300
Nearly all the nutrients in a Tropical Rainforest is here.
What is in living things?
300
The removal of a predator from a food web always has this type of effect on the food web.
What is negitive. The prey will become overpopulated.
300
These are consumers that only eat plants
What are herbivores.
300
This is where all parts of the plants get their sugars. Ex. roots, stems
What is the leaves?
300
This happens when water doesn't fall into a water source.
What is runoff?
400
This is what happens to living things when they die in a rain forest.
Specialized organisms (decomposers) break them down and release the nutrients,
Nearby plants reuse the nutrients for their own growth.
400
This comes first in a food chain between a producer and a consumer.
What is a producer?
400
In the rain forest, howler monkeys and leaf cutter ants are both part of this.
What is a community?
400
Plants proteins are created by the plant using this?
What is nitrogen
400
This is why the amount of energy decreases when you move up the energy pyramid.
What is each organism uses some of the energy for its own life processes, most of which is lost to heat.
500
These animals in the rain forest eat fruit, honey, insects, and other small animals. They use their long tails to grasp branches in lower levels of the trees.
What is a Kinkajous?
500
This is how plants store nitrogen.
What is proteins?
500
This is a description of the first layer of the energy pyramid.
What is energy trapped by producers. The largest layer as it stores the most energy. Plants getting energy from the sun.
500
some plants send these out to anchor them to the ground.
What are roots?
500
This is how water cycles through the nonliving part of the ecosystem.
What is water evaporating from the land and the ocean to form water vapor?
