Succession
Starts with bare rock and dirt must be created before plants then animals can live there
How does Primary Succession begin?
In a plant cell when the vacuole decreases pressure against the wall
When wilting the plant does what?
A toaster demonstrates the conversion of these two energy types.
What demonstrates the conversion of electrical energy to thermal energy?
gravity's effect on plant growth
What is geotropism?
Glaciers melting to reveal rock
What is an example of Primary Succession?
The increase causes the vacuole to put more pressure on the cell wall
In a plant cell what does an Increase in water cause?
the energy transformation that occurs when a campfire burns
What represents Chemical --> thermal and radiant energy transfer?
Plants grow towards favorable conditions
What is a result of tropism?
Takes millions of years
How long does Primary Succession take?
The vacuoles of plants cells fill with water and expand
How does a plant response to water?
Pizza, gasoline and batteries
What are all forms of Chemical energy?
Phototropism
What is a plants growth response to light?
Primary Successions Pioneer Species
What are lichens?
Seedlings absorb water and grow through different soil types.
How does a plant response to water?
A cheetah eats a wildebeest and then uses thee energy to run
What is an example of animals converting chemical to mechanical energy?
Roots grow towards gravity (down)
Which way does geotropism cause roots to grow?
Happens in hundreds of years
What is the time frame of Secondary Succession?
In a plant cell when the vacuole increases pressure against the wall
What happens in a plant cell when it stands upright?
The energy changes involved when a tea kettle is heated on a gas stove and starts to whistle.
What is an example of chemical energy transforming to thermal energy and finally to sound energy?
plants exert forces in response to external stimuli
What does Geotropism and Phototropism have in common?
