__________ is the term for the recovery process of an environment.

**DOUBLE JEOPARDY: what are the 2 types & what is a difference between them?

Succession

*DOUBLE JEOPARDY: primary succession (starts from bare rock & requires a pioneer species) and secondary succession (starts from soil)

What trophic level is the algae?

Double points: correctly label every item in the food chain

algae - producer

zooplankton - primary consumer

small fishes - secondary consumer

squid - tertiary consumer

shark - apex predator

Correctly label each organism with the type of producer/consumer they are. 


sun is only an energy source, not a producer/consumer

plant - producer

grasshopper - primary consumer

mouse - secondary consumer

snake - tertiary consumer

What type of population growth is shown?

For double points: why doesn't this type of growth happen in the natural world?

Exponential

Double jeopardy: because exponential growth requires unlimited resources which does not happen in the natural world

Penguins in region CHAMPA originally had short beaks. Their primary food, clams, evolved to have thicker shells. The penguins with the shortest beaks could not reach their food in the clams. Over time, the penguins evolved to have longer beaks as that allow them to reach food. What is this process called?

coevolution
