Define an abiotic factor.
A non-living factor affecting species abundance and dispersal (Temperature, Sunlight, Wind, Soil Type, etc)

What is the only process that has a positive impact on the carbon cycle by removing carbon dioxide from the cycle?
Photosynthesis
100
What type of organisms break down and absorb organic nutrients from dead organisms?
Decomposers
200
This consists of all the organisms in a particular region, along with nonliving components.
Ecosystem

If the lion wanted to get the most energy, which organism should it eat?
The goat (it makes the lion a secondary consumer instead of a tertiary or quaternary consumer)
200
A tiger affects the dispersal of gazelle by consuming newborn young. (Choose one of the following: Biotic, abiotic, pioneering or succession)
Biotic (Predation)
200
Solar radiation will have more of an impact on which cycle?
Water Cycle (evaporation and transpiration can't happen without it)
200
True or False: Renewable resources are a reliable supply of energy that can be produced in large quantities?
False
200
Building housing developments and new cities all around florida will (increase or decrease) biodiversity in that area?
Decrease biodiversity
300
Natural Resources that can be replenished in a short period of time are called?
Renewable Resources
300
The mouse, grasshopper and rabbit would all be considered what? (be specific)
Herbivores or primary consumers
300
Release of harmful materials into the environment.
pollution
300
True or False: Carbon is only found in non-living components?
False
300
Which type succession is faster because soil is present and doesn't require a pioneer species?
Secondary Succession
400
The first species to colonize a new habitat and create the soil are called?
A pioneer species
400
Arrows on a food chain or food web represent what?
The flow of energy or what eats what?
400
In the ocean you would expect to find NO light in which zone?
The aphotic zone (the bottom of the ocean)
400
What part of the cycle turns water vapor (gas) into liquid water?
Condensation
400
A population that grows without limits and grows at a fast pace would have a what kind of population growth?
Exponential growth
400
In what part of the water cycle does water vapor turn into liquid water?
Condensation
500
The maximum population size that the resources in an area can support is called?
Carrying Capacity
500
If the grass is receiving 9800 kcalories of energy from the sun, how much would you expect the snake to get from the bird?
9.8 kcalories (move the decimal point 3 spots)
500
What two factors can cause an increase in a population? (this was on the recent worksheet)
Births and immigration
500
Which two process of the water cycle are directly impacted by the amount of sunlight in that area?
Transpiration and evaporation (turning liquid water to water vapor)
500
What are the two processes that plants do that increase and decrease the amount of carbon in the carbon cycle?
Cellular respiration and photosynthesis
