Any living thing is called an ___
Organism
Organisms at this trophic level are primarily herbivores
A tree in an ecosystem. Biotic or abiotic?
Biotic
What makes one biome different from another biome?
Weather, soil type, and temperature
This layer contains the ozone and plays a crucial role in regulating Earth's climate by trapping heat from the sun.
Atmosphere
Which one is an abiotic factor? A squirrel, two raccoons, a snake, a rock, a palm tree
A rock
It represents the complex network of interconnected food chains in an ecosystem.
Food web
When oak trees compete for sunligt in a forest, what type of competition is that?
Intraspecific Competition
What biome would be described as arid.
The desert
Burning fossil fuels
Which of the following is an example of biotic factors: a feather, water, a beetle, rocks, a waterfall
A beetle
Give an example of a decomposer found in a typical terrestrial ecosystem, illustrating its role in food webs.
Bacteria, mushroom, fungi ... breaks down dead matter
The variety of life forms in an ecosystem is known as this.
Biodiversity
In which biome will you find a snow owl, polar bear, arctic fox
The Tundra
This rock type forms from cooled magma or lava and plays a significant role in soil formation, which is vital for supporting terrestrial life.
Geopsphere or Lithosphere
What are biotic factors?
All living things in a particular environment
This percentage of energy is typically lost as heat with each transfer between trophic levels in an ecosystem. t?
10%
Name at least three types of interactions in an ecosystem
Symbiosis, Commesalism, Parasitism, Competition, Predation
How is the tundra biome different from the desert biome?
The tundra is dry and mostly cold. The desert biome is dry and mostly hot.
This form of pollution results from nutrient runoff draining into water bodies and causing an overgrowth of plants, causing suffocation.
In order to survive, all living things need:
Space, shelter, air (oxygen), food, and water
Food chain or food web?
Grass is eaten by a grasshopper, which is then consumed by a frog, which in turn becomes prey for a snake, and finally, the snake is eaten by a hawk.
Describe an ecosystem
An environment containing both living and nonliving things that interact within it.
Think of your biome you researched. What is the community that lived there?
Depends on biome
This type of pollution is difficult to control because it cannot be traced back to one one entry point
Nonpoint source pollution
