The outer layer of plant tissue is called. . .
EPIDERMIS
These organisms make their own food.
PRODUCERS
How might a warming climate negatively affect an organism's environment?
Animals and plants that require colder temperatures will have to adapt or die to the warming climate.
Polar bears are suffering due to the melting glaciers and polar ice caps.
What are two ways that you can help prevent pollution.
Stop using plastic bags.
Reusable water bottles
Reusable food containers
Recycling
Burning fewer fossil Fuels
What is the difference between a food chain and a food web?
A food chain shows the steps by which energy transfers from one living thing to another.
A food web is a diagram that shows many food chains.
This is where the leaf makes food.
PALISADE TISSUE
These organisms can not make their own food.
CONSUMERS
How are forest fires both harmful and healthy to an ecosystem?
FOREST FIRES POLUTE THE AIR BUT THEY ALSO CLEAR DYING PLANT MATTER SO NEW PLANTS CAN GROW. THEY ALSO RETURN NUTRIENTS TO THE SOIL IN THE FORM OF ASHES.
Name two ways that farming causes pollution.
Animal waste Methane
Runoff Pesticides insecticides
herbicides. fungicides
What do the veins in a leaf do?
The inner layer of leaf tissue is called . . .
Spongy Tissue
These animals eat plants and animals.
OMNIVORES
CLIMATE SEASONS
CONTINENTAL MOVEMENT
ROCK EROSION
Why is it a problem when humans introduce a nonnative species to an ecosystem?
NONNATIVE SPECIES MAY HAVE NO NATURAL PREDATOR RESULTING IN OVER POPULATION. NONNATIVE PLANTS ARE INVASIVE AND CAN TAKE OVER AN ECOSYSTEM, LIMITING RESOURCES FOR NATIVE PLANTS.
What is a food chain?

Hurricanes Floods
Fire Volcanic eruption
Earthquake
What are 2 ways that the government can protect the environment.
THEY PASS LAWS
THEY LIMIT BUILDING ON PRESERVED LAND
THEY REGULATE AND LIMIT LAND USE.
Give one example of a food chain involving a Producer, Herbivore, Carnivore, and a Decomposer.
Grass - Rabbit - Fox - Worms/Mushrooms
This is the equation that describes Photosynthesis.
CO2 + H2O + SUN + CHLOROPHYLL = SUGAR + OXYGEN
These break down dead organisms.
DECOMPOSERS
Name one animal species and one plant species that is nonnative.
Lantern fly
Zebra muscles
garlic-mustard plant
Other than forest fires and volcanoes, what is another from of natural pollution
Earthquake
Flood
Methane from dead/dying organisms
Give one example of a symbiotic relationship.
