Biodiversity
What are the types of Biodiversity
Species, ecosystem, and genetic diversity?
What are the abiotic factors of an ecosystem?
Abiotic factors include rocks, temperature, and humidity.
What is a food web?
It shows what organism eats what organism.
What is a Trophic pyramid
A pyramid with organism with levels of each place like autotrophs, herbivores, primary predators, and more predators.
How much energy is lost after every level is consumed
Around 10%.
What does Species diversity do?
Represents the species that are in a given community?
What are the biotic factors of an ecosystem?
Biotic factors include plants, animals, and other organisms.
Why are food webs important?
They help an ecosystem live without it there could be overpopulation and extinction.
What is the lower level of the pyramid?
Autotrophs
What does the arrow mean in a food web?
It shows what consumes it.
What does Ecosystem diversity do?
Addresses the combined characteristics of biotic and abiotic properties
What is a Ecosystem?
An ecosystem is a geographic area where plants, animals, and other organisms, as well as weather and landscape, work together to form a bubble of life.
What are food webs made of?
Many food chains that are connected.
Which level of the pyramid has the most energy?
The autotrophs
Where are humans in the trophic pyramid?
They are at the top of the pyramid
What does Genetic diversity do?
The genetic characteristics in the genetic makeup of a species.
What are the types of Ecosystems?
The major types of ecosystems are forests, grasslands, deserts, tundra, freshwater and marine.
What is the most important organism in a food web?
Autotrophs
Why do we need to learn about trophic pyramids?
It shows what consumes what and how energy is transferred and lost.
How is energy lost after an organism consumes it?
Heat makes it lose energy.
Why is Biodiversity important?
It provides functional ecosystems.
How do the living and nonliving organisms work with each other?
The give nutrients to each other so they can stay alive.
What would happen if an animal in a food chain went extinct?
Overpopulation
What does a trophic pyramid show?
It shows the levels of a food chain or web the plants are at the bottom and the consumers are at the other levels.
Why are autotrophs so important?
