energy transfer
A diagram that shows the amount of energy that moves from one feeding level to another in a food web.
what is ; energy pyramid
what is photosynthesis
organism that are able to make their own food
what is autotrophs
what is a process where water vapor cools and forms clouds ?
what is condensation
Another name for sugar
what is glucose
Organisms that break down the remains and other wastes and release simple inorganic molecules back to the environment.
decomposers
which cycles cant complete their processes without decomposers?
what is carbon and nitrogen
what do the arrows mean in a food chain or web?
transfer of energy
process by which dead plants become compressed over millions of years
what are fossil fuels
amino acids, proteins, DNA,RNA, are components of which of the elements ? (nitrogen,carbon,water,phos)
what is nitrogen and phosphorus
An organism that obtains energy and nutrients by feeding on other organisms or their remains.
what is consumers
this is known as non living in our environment; give an example
what are Abiotic factors
wind, dirt,water
Phosphorus helps what in our bodies or for animals
what is make shells,bones, and teeth harder (gives it its hard factor)
water that returns to the atmosphere from plants ?
what is transpiration
this is the gas that is known to be 78% in our atmosphere
what is nitrogen
what causes global warming?
extra CO2 in the atmosphere causing drastic changes in temperature and weather creating warm fronts and contributing to the heat factor in global warming
what is the way carbon is added back to the atmosphere ?
what is cellular respiration
( animal and plant )
A community of organisms where there are several interrelated food chains.
what is a food web
our plants and tree's help do what to our air ?
what is filter the air
this is the process that uses legumes, lightening or bacteria to change nitrogen to a usable form?
what is nitrogen fixation
how is energy pyramids, food chains connected with the cycles ?
the animals in the cycles help carry out processes such as respiration
decomposers break these down in both starting the cycle over again
bacteria fixes in nitrogen and decomposes in carbon, all of this can also be shown on a pyramid
This binds with oxygen to help carry out the process of photosynthesis
what is carbon
what does industrial combustion contribute to ?(tell for carbon and nitrogen)
extra CO2 in the atmosphere
fertilizer being made with extra nitrogen which washes into our rivers lakes and stream creating oxygen depletion and algae blooms
is cellular respiration a light reaction or a chemical reaction?
what is a chemical reaction
this is the cycle that takes the longest, has a very slow process, and includes erosion of minerals
what is the phosphorus cycle.
