What are two examples of renewable energy that humans have created from natural resources?
Solar Energy, Wind Energy, Hydropower
What climate is known to have extremely humid temperatures and large bodies of water in it?
Tropical Rainforests
Most food chains end with what?
A decomposer
What is chemical potential energy?
Energy stored in the chemical bonds of a substance.
What is the purpose of a decomposer in a food web?
A decomposer breaks down consumers and restarts the food chain cycle.
When humans use natural resources, what occurs as a result?
Resource depletion and pollution
What types of predators will be found in a mountain climate?
Mountain Lions, Coyotes, Hawks, Eagles
What does a food chain show us?
The transfer of energy from organism to organism in one ecosystem.
Primary consumers like grasshoppers, crickets, and beetles all consume what?
CPE in producers.
Can a predator become prey? If so, how would they become prey?
Because there could be bigger consumers ahead of them on the food chain.
Some forms of energy harmful to climates and upset what in them?
The food chain OR food web in that climate.
If a climate begins to feel affects from deforestation and human pollution, what may occur in that climate or ecosystem?

What happens to your food chain if there is a missing link, OR an organism migrates or gets endangered?
It destroys your food chain, organisms are dependent on each other to survive.
What is a mutually beneficial interaction in which chemical potential energy that is stored, ends up getting used by another organism?
Bees and flowers. Pollen in flowers acts as chemical potential energy, waiting to be used by bees and other plants for energy.
What are mutually beneficial interactions in ecosystems?
relationships in an ecosystem that benefit both organisms.
