The definition of weather?
What is weather is the day to day conditions of the Earth’s atmosphere at a particular time and place

Which way do the arrows in a food chain point?
What is they point toward the organism getting the energy.

What is Biodiversity?
What is many different populations living in the same area. Variability and Variety of species.
100
What is a population?
What is a group of organisms of the same species together.
100
What factors cause a population to grow?
What is birth rate and immigration rate.

The definition of climate?
What is he average conditions in an area over a long period of time
200
How is a food web different than a food chain?
What is food chains are less complex than food webs.
200
What is an invasive species?
What is an organism not originally from an area that harms an ecosystem and outcompetes the native species.
200
What are the three types of symbiotic relationships?
What are commensalism, mutualism, and parasitism.
200
carrying capacity is associated with this type of population growth?
What is logistical growth.
300
What impacts a climate?
What are Latitude, altitude, temperature, and precipitation
300
What trophic level is the owl in this food web? 
What is tertiary consumer.
300
Why is biodiversity important?
what is it makes the habitat more resilient and provides goods and services
300
What level of organization is described here: a group of sea turtles are living in a coral reef filled with fish, rocks, sand, plants, and other organisms.
What is an ecosystem
300
What are density dependent limiting factors?
They depend on the size of the population. examples: disease, competition, and overcrowding.
400
What is the greenhouse effect?
What is when light shines, some gases in the atmosphere trap some of it as heat and some is reflected back.
400
an organism found in a food web that is often small in number but has a big impact on the food chain. If they are removed the rest of the food web can fall apart.
What is a keystone species?
400
What is a way humans harm biodiversity?
what is Urbanization, changing habitats, overhunting, over use of resources, pollution
400
What is the difference between a habitat and a niche?
A habitat is where the organism lives, the niche is their role in the ecosystem.
400
What is a climax community?
What is the organisms that live in an area when it has stabilized.
500
The three greenhouse gasses we talked about in class
What are Methane, Carbon Dioxide, and water
500
What would happen to the populations of the other organisms if we removed the hawk from this food web?
What is the snake population would increase. Birds and frogs would decrease, Grasshoppers would increase, and grass would decrease. The mouse would stay around the same since it has other predators.
500
How do invasive species harm the environment?
What is they take over another animals role in an ecosystem and disrupt the ecosystem. They can change the food web by taking food away from other organisms.
500
What are the levels of organization in order?
What is atom, molecule, organelle, cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism, population, community, ecosystem, biome.

What type of succession would occur after a forest fire burns everything down? How long does it tend to take?
What is secondary succession and 50 years
