Living "green" can decrease this footprint
What is carbon footprint?
This pyramid shows the flow of energy from one trophic level to another
What is the Energy Pyramid?
Non living parts of an environment
What is abiotic factors?
The process where carbon atoms continually travel from the atmosphere to the earth
What is the carbon cycle?
This chemical cannot be breathed, it must be consumed
What is nitrogen?
Walking, biking, carpooling, and using mass transit are all ways to reduce this
What is your carbon footprint?
This group is at the base of an Energy Pyramid
What are producers?
Living parts of an enviornment
What is biotic factor?
This is the first step in the carbon cycle
What is carbon enters the atmosphere?
When nitrogen turns into different forms, it is called this
What is the Nitrogen Cycle?

Carbon enters the atmosphere from breathing as this gas
What is carbon dioxide?
The first step in the process of making nitrogen usable by plants is this
What is fixation?
The total amount of greenhouse gases produced to directly and indirectly support human activities
What is the carbon footprint?
This level of the energy pyramid has the least amount of energy
What is the highest level of the pyramid?
This factor keep populations within an ecosystem at a certain level
What is limiting factor?
Carbon dioxide is absorbed by life forms that make their own food (such as plants), called this
What are producers?
Nitrogen goes back into the earth when animals to this
What is produce wast or die?

What is indirect sources?
This group is at the top of the energy pyramid?
What is the top predator group?

What is the sun?
Dead animals and plants are eaten by decomposers in the ground and become this
What is fossil fuel?
