Extra points. What is the smallest unit of matter?
100
Both species benefit.
Mutualism
100
Organisms that eat plants (2 names)
Herbivores & Primary Consumers
100
Biome with very little rain, cold, very little plant life.
Tundra
100
Rocks break down and release phosphorus into the soil and water.
Weathering
100
What are the building blocks of proteins?
Amino Acids
200
2 or more atoms bonded together.
Molecule
200
One species benefits, one doesn't care.
Commensalism
200
Many food chains in a given area.
200
Name an adaptation of a plant to a biome.
Extra points. Why is this plant eating this bug?
200
This process helps pull water up from the roots of a tree in a model known as the Tension Cohesion model. It means evaporation from plants.
200
Name two molecules that contain carbon.
300
Group of similar tissues working together to do a job.
Organ
300
A species job in an ecosystem. Its role.
300
Organism that eat primary consumers. (2 names)
Carnivores & Secondary Consumers
300
Name an adaptation of an animal to a biome.
Extra points - How are the fennec fox's ears adapted to the desert.
300
Photosynthesis ________________ carbon in the atmosphere and Cellular respiration __________________ carbon to the atmosphere.
300
What are the monomers of nucleic acid?
Extra points: Name 3 polymers of nucleic acid
400
What is the difference between a population and community?
Population = same kind of organism (species)
Community = many populations
400
A species with a large impact on the ecosystem.
Keystone
400
Not technically the top of the food chain but these little guys break down and recycle organic material.
For full points give general name + 2 examples
400
Which biome has the most biodiversity on the planet.
400
What is the result of eutrophication?
400
Draw a molecule with phosphorus in it.
500
Abiotic and biotic factors living in a given area.
Ecosystem
500
When different species compete for the same resources (like lions and hyenas competing for food).
Interspecific.
If same species = Intraspecific
500
How much energy is lost as you go up the trophic pyramid? Also, how is it lost?
90 percent of energy is lost, mostly through heat from cellular respiration.
500
What is the best biome for farming?
Temperate grassland.
500
What is the difference between nitrogen fixation and nitrification?
500
Please draw the chemical structure of an amino acid.
