Photosynthesis
This is the source of energy necessary for photosynthesis to occur.
What is sunlight?
Gas product of cellular respiration.
What is carbon dioxide? (CO2)
Chemical Equation for water.
What is H2O?
A relationship between two species in which one species benefits and the other is neither helped nor harmed.
Ex. Remoras attach themselves to sharks and benefit by feeding on scraps of food the sharks leave behind, while the sharks are not harmed by the presence of the remoras.
What is commensalism?
These organisms produce energy through the use of photosynthesis.
What are autotrophs?
The time of day photosynthesis does not occur.
What is night?
The energy created during cellular respiration.
What is ATP energy?
States that energy is neither created nor destroyed.
What is the law of conservation of energy?
A relationship between two species in which one species benefits and the other is harmed.
Ex. A leech attached to a duck and feeding on it's blood.
What is parasitism?
These organisms are herbivores, therefore they are called...
What are primary consumers?
Only plant cells have these organelles that are used for photosynthesis.
What are chloroplasts?
Converts glucose and oxygen into usable energy, carbon dioxide, and water?
What are mitochondria?
6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight ----> C6H12O6 + 6O2
What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?
A relationship between two species in which both species benefit.
Ex. Bees gather nectar and pollen from flowering plants while simultaneously pollinating the plants.
What is mutualism?
What is the percentage of energy that moves from producer to primary consumer to secondary consumer?
What is 10%?
Name of the light independent reaction.
What is the Calvin Cycle?
Cellular respiration allows organisms to do this.
What is grow, reproduce, heal?
Occurs in all biotic organisms.
What is cellular respiration?
An interaction in which one organism kills another for food.
Ex. An alligator catches and eats an ibis.
What is predation?
One portion of the food web that goes from producers up to tertiary consumers.
What is a food chain?
This is the main purpose of photosynthesis.
What is creating glucose?
The three steps of the cellular respiration.
What are glycolysis, krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain?
This would happen to the ecosystems if one organism died out.
What is an unbalanced ecosystem?
Two or more organisms competing for the same resource.
Ex. Owls and Hawks both prey on rodents
What is competition?
The arrow in food webs and chains show what between the organisms?
What is the transfer of energy?
