Photosynthesis
The process by which plants capture and use light energy to make food from carbon dioxide and water
What is Photosynthesis?
All the members of one species living in a particular area is called this.
What is a population?
This model consists of many overlapping food chains in an ecosystem.
What is a food web?
Any disturbance that transfers energy from place to place is called this.
What is a wave?
This type of signal allows for a continuous record of some kind of action.
What is an analog signal?
The three things plants need from their environment for photosynthesis.
What are light, carbon dioxide (air), and water?
This is what we call an environmental factor that causes a population to stop growing or to decreases in size.
What is a limiting factor?
These are used in a food web to indicate the direction of energy flow in the ecosystem.
What are arrows?
This type of wave needs to travel through a medium.
What are mechanical waves?
This type of signal allows for the record of discrete values of an action over a set of time intervals.
What are digital signals?
These are the two products of photosynthesis.
What are glucose (sugar) and oxygen?
An increased birth rate would cause the population in the area to do this.
What is increase?
These organisms make their own food.
What are producers?
You measure this property of a wave when you measure the distance between the crests on a wave.
What is wavelength?
This type of signal is more reliable to use when encoding and transmitting information.
What is a digital signal?
This is a waste product from photosynthesis that animals need to perform cellular respiration.
What is oxygen?
These are the living (or once living) things in an ecosystem.
What are biotic factors?
These organisms obtain energy by feeding on other organisms.
What are consumers?
This is the color of an object that absorbs all the wavelengths of visible light.
This term refers to how often a signal is recorded or converted to digital code.
What is sampling rate?
This is the source of energy for most producers on Earth.
What is the Sun (or light)?
These are the nonliving things in an ecosystem
What are abiotic factors?
These organisms break down biotic wastes and dead organisms and return the raw materials back to the ecosystem.
What are decomposers?
This is the color of an object that reflects all the wavelengths of visible light.
What is white?
What are pixels?
