100
A diagram that shows many food chains
What is a food web?
100
These organisms break down dead organisms and release nutrients back into the ecosystem
What are decomposers?
100
Two organisms who fight over the same resource are ____________ against each other.
What is competing?
100
This organelle produces ATP in cellular respiration.
What is the mitochondria?
100
This molecule has the chemical formula CO2.
What is carbon dioxide?
200
A diagram that has the following levels: producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers
What is a trophic pyramid?
200
These organisms attack and kill other organisms for food
What are predators?
200
Temperature is considered to be a _______ factor
What is abiotic?
200
This organelle is in plants gives them their green color since it is filled with chlorophyll.
What is a chloroplast?
200
This molecule is the "sweet" product of photosynthesis. Its chemical formula is C6H12O6.
What is glucose?
300
After a fire, small grasses eventually grow. This process continues until a forest is there.
What is succession?
300
These organisms turn light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose
What are producers?
300
Other organisms are considered to be ________ factors in an ecosystem.
What are biotic?
300
This organelle controls what comes in and out of the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
300
The chemical equation for this mitochondrial process is: C6H12O6 + O2 --> CO2 + H2O + 32 ATP
What is cellular respiration?
400
The source of ALL energy in ecosystems
What is the Sun?
400
These organisms slowly feed on other organisms without killing them--example: mosquito
What are parasites?
400
A mosquito's _______ is where it lives, what time it is active, what it likes to eat, how it reproduces, etc.
What is its niche?
400
This organelle holds excess water in plants.
What is the vacuole?
400
The chemical equation for this process is: light + CO2 + H2O --> C6H12O6 + 6 O2
What is photosynthesis?
500
The maximum number of individuals a population can support.
What is carrying capacity?
500
These organisms only consume plants.
What are herbivores?
500
When all individuals of a species are dead, the species is considered __________.
What is extinct?
500
This organelle is the home of DNA.
What is the nucleus?
500
These organisms have both mitochondria and chloroplasts.
What are producers (plants)?
