100
The interaction between bees and sunflowers.
What is mutualism?
100
90% of energy is lost through trophic levels due to this/these processes
What is heat (i.e. respiration, undigested parts)?
100
Species that spread rapidly across large areas, causing harm to local species.
What are invasive species?
200
The BGC cycle which is dependent on weathering and erosion.
What is the Phosphorous cycle?
200
The muddy bottom of a lake, pond or ocean beneath the limnetic and profundal zones.
What is the benthic zone?
NOTE: You must know the other zones of freshwater biomes and their characteristics for the exam!
200
The symbiotic relationship in which one organism benefits and the other organism is not impacted.
What is commensalism?
200
The amount of energy available to secondary consumers in a ecosystem that produces 20,000J of energy. (Assume 10 percent ecological efficiency)
What is 200 J ?
200
The biome that continues to experience warmer temperature and will shift in biome boundaries in the near future.
What is the tundra?
300
TWO slow parts of the carbon cycle.
What is sedimentation and burial (fossil fuel formation)?
300
Precipitation and temperature.
What are the factors that determine terrestrial biomes?
or...
What is climate?

DAILY DOUBLE!!!
Measurement of producers conversion of sunlight to biomass.
What is net primary productivity?
300
The most abundant producer in the limnetic zone.
What is phytoplankton?

Three of these factors would cause a decrease in squirrel population.
What is increase in fox population?
What is increase in falcon population?
What is decrease in grasses?
400
The process of converting nitrates and dead organisms into ammonia.
What is Ammonification?
400
Plants in this biome are particularly adapted to frequent fires on a seasonal basis. (Fire is an evolutionary trigger for reproduction here!)
What is shrubland/chaparral?
I will also
400
Competition for limited resources between organisms of the same species.
What is intraspecific competition?
400
The full (balanced) equation for cellular respiration?
What is:

400
Fertilizers in the midwest add excess nutrient the Mississippi watershed.
What is Eutrophication?
500
The process in which solutes are transported through the soil via groundwater.
What is leaching?
500
The three major terrestrial biomes located in the tropics (between approximately 0° - 25° north and south latitude).
What are tropical rainforest, tropical grasslands (savannah), tropical deserts?
500
What an organism consumes along with how and where. A description of the its interaction with abiotic and biotic components of the environment.
What is an ecological niche?
500
atoms --> molecules --> organelles -->cell -->tissue --> organ --> organ system --> individual, population, community, ecosystem, biome, biosphere
What are the levels of biological organization?
500
Low oxygen concentration in the water due to phosphorus runoff.
What is Hypoxia?
