Land/Water
This ecosystem is a combination of salt water and fresh water.
What is an estuary?
This group of living things make up the bottom level of an energy pyramid.
What are producers?
This type of water makes up an estuary (a mixture of freshwater and salt water).
What is brackish-water?
Producers are just a fancy scientific word for these living organisms.
What are plants?
What are producers?
Both ponds and oceans are this type of ecosystem.
What are aquatic ecosystems?
This best describes the role of a mouse that eats seeds and insects.
What is a consumer?
This movement of water affects both salt marshes and estuaries.
What are high and low tides?
Producers make up this level of an energy pyramid.
What is the bottom level?
This gas is needed for photosynthesis to take place.
What is carbon dioxide?
What are salt water ecosystems?
Both deer and wolves can be classified as this.
What are consumers?
This has the greatest effect on the amount of salt in a salt marsh.
What is the closeness of the marsh to the ocean?
Out of this list: frog, mushroom, grass, lizard - this is the producer.
What is the grass?
Photosynthesis is the process plants use to make this.
What are sugar and wood?
A lake is this type of aquatic ecosystem.
What is a freshwater ecosystem?
This classification best describes herbivores.
What is consumers?
This type of water is where organisms in estuaries have adaptations that allow them to survive.
What is both freshwater and salt water?
This describes what eats only producers.
What are herbivores?
This is the first step in photosynthesis.
What is receiving sunlight?
This type of ecosystem is mostly populated with oak, hickory, beech, and maple trees.
What is a deciduous forest?
A food web shows this type of flow.
What is the flow of energy through an ecosystem?
This is what makes estuaries different from lakes, rivers, and oceans.
What is that estuaries contain both salt water and freshwater also called brackish-water?
What is photosynthesis?
As part of the photosynthesis process, plants release this.
What is oxygen?
