Biomes
The most common biome?
What are oceans?
True or False: 90% of energy is lost at each stage of the food chain.
What is True?
Cycle that shows the continuous movement of water within the Earth and atmosphere.
What is the water cycle?
The two types of succession?
What is Primary and Secondary Succession?
Gases in the earth's atmosphere that trap heat.
What are greenhouse gases?
A biome with lush, warm, and wet ecosystems characterized by high biodiversity, abundant rainfall, and dense vegetation
What is a Rainforest
What unit is energy measured in?
What is Joules?
Plants, soil, runoff, animals, and weathering are all part of what biogeochemical cycle?
What is phosphorus cycle?
Describe what happens to the biodiversity throughout the proccess of ecological succession.
What is the biodiversity continues to increase until it reaches the climax community?
Areas of the earth that have similar plants, animals, and climate
What is a biome?
This biome get a decent amount of rain for a short period but is known for being dry
What is a Savannah biome
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
Put the following in the correct food chain order: Slugs, snakes, Leaves, Frogs, Hawks.
Write the tropic levels for each organism.
What is:
Leaves --> Slugs --> Frogs --> Snakes --> Hawks
Producer --> Primary consumer --> Secondary consumer --> Tertiary Consumer --> Apex Predator
The process where plants release water vapor into the atmosphere, primarily through tiny pores on their leaves, stems, and flowers.
What is transpiration
Occurs after a volcano erupts
What is Primary succuession
Large flat areas or relatively small steep areas that are wet for significant periods of time.
What is wetlands?
What biome is Georgia located in?
What is temperate deciduous forest?
What trophic level receives the lest amount of energy from its food?
What is an Apex predator
What is the only cycle that cannot be found in the atmoshpere?
What is the Phosphorus Cycle?
True or false: Lichens and moss are the first stage of primary succession
What is False?
The process by which the biodiversity of specie in an area changes over time due to an event occurring.
What is ecological succession?
List at least 6 of the 10 biomes found on Earth.
What are:
Tropical Forest
Savanna
Desert
Polar and high-mountain ice
Chaparral
Temperate grassland

Tundra (artic and alpine)
Ocean
Calculate the amount of energy each organism would have in the following food chain if the primary consumer has 100 J of energy.
Grass --> Grasshopper --> Mouse --> Snake --> Hawk
What is:
1000 J --> 100 J --> 10 J --> 1 J -->0.1 J
What two things can be found in all cycles?
What are plants and animals?
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
Put the following steps in order:
Primary: Grasses/ Herbs, Young trees/pines, Lichens/moss, Bare rocks, Mature Trees
Secondary: Shrubs/bushes, Mature Trees, Grasses/Herbs, Young Trees/Pines
What is:
Primary: Bare rocks--> Lichens/Moss --> Grasses/Herbs --> Shrubs/Bushes --> Young trees/Pines --> Mature trees
Secondary: Grasses/Herbs --> Shrubs/Bushes --> Young Trees/Pines --> Mature Trees
A linear sequence of organisms where nutrients and energy are transferred from one organism to the other
