100
Two characteristics that help identify terrestrial biomes.
What is temperature and precipitation?
100
Lotic vs. Lentic
What is a flowing system (i.e. stream or river) vs. a stagnet system (i.e lake or pond)?
100
Human impact on the Carbon cycle.
What is tree harvesting and burning of fossil fuels?
100
The amount of energy lost when going up trophic levels.
What is 10%?
100
Three factors that characterize an aquatic biome.
What is salnity, depth, and water flow?
200
Permafrost, cold, treeless, shrubs.
What is the tundra?
200
Benefits of wetlands (three)
What is they provide habitat and breeding grounds for a variety of animals, they prevent from flooding of coastal areas, and prevent erosion of coastlines?
200
Human impact on the water cycle.
What is diversion of water, pollution, and deforrestation?
200
Compare the differnt trophic levels discussed in class.
What is producers vs. primary consumers vs. secondary consumer vs. tertiary consumers?
200
The factors that contribute to the unequal heating of the earth.
What is angles of sun rays, the amount of light reflection, the amount of surface that the sun rays are distributed?
300
High rainfall, high temperature, lush vegetation.
What is the tropical rainforest?
300
Compare the three zones of lakes/ponds.
What is littoral- top section that recieves the most sunlight, limnetic- middle section that recieves little sunlight, profundal- that recive little/no sunlight and is located at the bottom of a lake or pond?
300
Human impact on the nitrogen cycle.
What is input of nitrogen in aquatic systems which create algal bloom which then decrease the dissolved oxygen content in the lake which then causes death of aquatic species?
300
The trophic level that producer would fall under.
What is the first trophic level?
300
The location of the ozone layer.
What is the stratosphere?
400
Conifer, carbiou, Europe, eastern united states.
What is the taiga?
400
Benefits of Coral reefs.
What is provide tourism, habitat for fish, and prevent erosion?
400
Human impact on the phosphorus cycle.
What is input of phosphorus into aquatic systems which causes algal blooms and therefore decreases the dissovled oxygen content?
400
Autotrophic vs. heterotrophic
What is autotrophs make their own food/energy through photosynthesis and cellular respiration and heterotrophs have to consume to make their energy through cellular respiration?
400
The layer of the atmosphere where weather is located.
What is the troposphere?
500
grasses, zebras, giraffes, hot temperatures.
What is the savannah?
500
Describe how coral reefs help reduce the greenhouse effect.
What is ocean absorb CO2 from the atmosphere and coral reefs use CO2 to make their backbone which is made out of CaCO3?
500
Describe the steps of the nitrogen cycle.
What is nitrogen fixation- bacteria converts atmospheric nitrogen to nitrogen that can be used by decomposers nitrification- nitrogen is transformed to a type that plants can use. assimilation- fixing it in the plant and animal can eat plant and therefore take up N. ammonification- break down N containing compounds and return N to soil. denitrification- bacteria convert N in an O2 poor environment back to atmospheric nitrogen?
500
GPP vs. NPP
What is GPP- the rate of photosynthesis in an ecosystem and NPP is the biomass left over for consumers?
500
Compare the different zones of the ocean.
What is euphotic zone- top layer the has the strongest light penetration, bathyal zone- middle layer, and abyssal zone- bottom layer little life and light?
