State the name of these six terms: 1.) a group of organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring; 2.) the environment in which a species normally lives or the "address" of an organism; 3.) a group of organisms of the same species who live in the same area; 4.) a group of populations in the same area; 5.) a community and its abiotic environment; 6.) the study of relationships between biotic and abiotic factors in an environment.
What is What is 1.) species; 2.) habitat; 3.) population; 4.) community; 5.) ecosystem; 6.) ecology
100
The embryo of a land plant.
What is a seed
100
These are hard veins that transport water.
What is xylem
100
The first growth of a plant from a seed.
What is germination
100
Draw how energy and nutrients enter, move through, and exit a food chain in an ecosystem. Include an example of each trophic level.
Sun → Plant → Frog → Fish → Walrus → Polar Bear

Distinguish between autotroph and heterotroph
What is when an autotroph is an organism that synthesises its organic molecules from simple inorganic substances, where a heterotroph is an organism that obtains organic molecules from other organisms
200
This is the advantage of having a seed that can be carried to new places.
What is dispersal
200
These are soft veins that transport sugar.
What is phloem
200
A hormone that causes a plant to bend toward the light.
What is auxin
200
Draw the carbon cycle with labels (9)
Respiration x2 combustion CO2 in the air photosynthesis carbon dissolved in water decomposition fertilize soil fossil fuels

Distinguish between consumers, detritovores and saprotrophs
What is What is a consumer is an organism that ingests other organic matter that is living or recently killed, where a detritovore is an organism that ingests non-living organic matter, and where a saprotroph is an organism that secretes digestive enzymes and absorbs the products of digestion.
300
Uses water and carbon dioxide to produce sugar.
What is a leaf
300
A plant that needs a long night in order to grow.
What is a short day plant
300
Draw a labelled diagram to show the arrangement of tissues in a leaf.
Leaf Tissues Cuticle Epidermis (lower/upper) Pallisade Mesophyll Spongy Mesophyll Vein Xylem Phloem Guard Cells Stomata
400
Explain the energy flow in a food chain, how much is lost between each level and two reasons why.
What is What is an average loss of 90% of the energy as you move up successive trophic levels due to 1.) material not consumed or assimilated; 2.) and heat loss through cell respiration.
400
The structure that supports the plant. Green and flexible in herbaceous plants, filled with bundles of xylem and phloem.
What is a stem
400
The part of a plant that absorbs water and minerals, stores food, and anchors the plant.
What is a root
400
Draw and label plan diagrams to show the distribution of tissues in the stem and leaf of a dicotyledonous plant. (6)
Epidermis Cortex (collenchyma, parenchyma) Vascular Cambium pith vascular bundle
500
List three factors that set limits to population increase.
What is 1.) Shortage of resources (e.g. food, space, etc) 2.) Increase in predators 3.) Increase in diseases and parasites
500
Each are attached to the stem by a stalk called a petiole. These contain the chloroplasts in the cell.
What is a leaf
500
Moves food (sugar) from the leaves to the rest of the plant.
What is the phloem
500
What are 5 essential needs for a seed to germinate?
What is water, air, space, sun light, soil
500
Draw and label a diagram showing the structure of a dicotyledonous animal-pollinated flower (8)
