1. What do the arrows in this food web represent?
Name a molecule made of carbon
Carbon dioxide, fossil fuels, sugar, glucose, carbohydrates, protein, lipids, etc
This is an example of what kind of symbiosis
What is mutualism
If the quadrat is 1m by 1m, what is the area of the quadrat?
1x1=1 m^2
What is an example of an abiotic factor in an ecosystem?
any non-living factor, Temperature, precipitation, salinity, oxygen, geography, etc
which organism is a secondary consumer?
What is Dragonfly, Thrush, Frog, or Rat?
What process done by producers requires carbon dioxide (co2) and sunlight?
photosynthesis
A fungus infecting a deer and eating its tissue is what kind of sybiosis?
When would you use quadrat mehod to estimate population instead of the quadrat method?
What is an organism that does not move
Autotrophs do not need to consume another living thing for energy, instead how do they get energy?
They use the sun to power the process of photosynthesis, where they convert carbon dioxide from the air into sugar
Which organism in this food web would be a herbivore?
What is Grasshopper, mouse, or rabbit?
Where do sheep get carbon?
From trees/food
In the rainforest ecosystem a boa constrictor eats monkeys, tucans, macaws, and sloths. The sloth is a herbivore while the tucan and macaw both eat butterflies and other insects. Use this scenario to find an example of Interspecific competition.
Competition between the macaw and tucans for the same prey (butterflies), or agouti and sloth for blueberries.
For which organism in this food web could you use mark-recapture method to estimate population size?
Any that move, baracuda, squid, porgies, fish fry, spotlight parrot fish, four eyed fish
What biome is this?
What is rain forest
Predict what would happen if zooplankton went extinct
Coral and fish frey populations would decrease without their prey. Since fish fry are eaten by silver porgies and squid their population would also go down.
When the snake eats the bird energy is transfered from the bird to the snake. What element stores the energy.
Carbon, in the form of carbohydrates, such as sugar, protein, and lipids.
The relationship between the zooxanthelle algea and the coral polyps is an example of what type of symbiosis
Mutualism
For which organism in this image could you use the quadrat method to estimate population size?
Sea urchin, coral, sea star, clams
What organisms would you find in this biome?
Canopy trees, snakes, big cats, etc
Use the following information to draw a food web
kelp uses photosynthesis to produce sugars that then get eaten by the sea urchin, which is then eaten by the sea otter.
Why is learning about the carbon cycle possibly the most relevent thing we will learn all year.
Because the carbon cycle envolves plastic, fossil fuels, deforestation, and as a result climate change which affect all our lives.
In the rainforest ecosystem a boa constrictor eats monkeys, tucans, macaws, and sloths. The sloth is a herbivore while the tucan and macaw both eat butterflies and other insects. Use this scenario to find an example of Intraspecific competition.
boas competing with other boas for prey, or any two of the same species competing for food
If the quadrat is 1m by 1m, what is the TOTAL surface area of three quadrats?
one quadrat= 1x1=1 m^2.
Three quadrats= 1(m^2) x3= 3 (m^2)
If the population density is 10 daisies per meter, what would be the density in 10 meters
