Scientific Method
An if/then statement, or an educated guess.
hypothesis
Do animals or plants go through photosynthesis?
Plants
Do animals or plants use cellular respiration?
Animals
Something that makes its own energy.
Producer
The first producers in the food web are called this.
Primary consumers.
The first step of the scientific method.
Question/observation
What do plants take in during photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide/water
Oxygen/glucose
Something that cannot make its own energy and must eat other things to gain energy.
Consumer
The second tier consumers are called this in a food web.
Secondary consumers.
Part of the scientific method where you test your hypothesis.
Experiment
What do plants give off during photosynthesis?
Oxygen/glucose
What do animals give off during cellular respiration?
Carbon dioxide/water
Something that gets its energy by eating the remains of other organisms.
Detritivores or decomposers.
The top predators in an ecosystem are called this in a food web.
Tertiary consumer.
Variable that you change in an experiment.
Independent variable
Where does photosynthesis take place? What part of the plant?
Leaves.
What is the process called that breaks down glucose during cellular respiration?
Glycolysis
What is the process called where you take vegetable/fruit scraps and make soil?
Composting
In a food pyramid, what percent of energy are the producers?
100%
Part of the scientific method where you analyze your data and share out.
Conclusion
What part of a cell helps a plant go through photosynthesis (hint: it's green)
Chloroplasts
What part of a cell helps with cellular respiration/makes the energy?
Mitochondria
Decomposers
In a food pyramid, what percentage of energy is left for trophic level 3?
1%
