100
Give an example of a producer.
What is a tree, flower, grass, etc.
100
What is the niche of the stem?
The niche of the stem is to hold the leaves and flowers if any are growing on the plant.
100
This word is known as something that makes its own food.
What is a Producer.
100
What causes photosynthesis to begin?
The sun's light energy is absorbed by the plant or tree's leaves.
100
What is a community of plants and animals called?
An ecosystem.
200
What is a Producer?
A producer is something that makes its own food.
200
What is the niche of the roots? (2)
the niche of the roots would be to anchor the plant and to soak up the water and nutrients from the soil to be transferred to the rest of the plant.
200
This term means part of the plant that has green pigment that absorbs the sunlight.
What is chorophyll.
200
What three ingredients are needed to make food and oxygen for the plant?
The plant needs water, carbon dioxide, and the sun's light energy.
200
What is the term known as that is a specific organism living in the same area at the same time?
Population.
300
From where do the producers get their energy?
The Producers get their energy from the sun.
300
What is the niche of the xylem?
The xylem's niche is to transport water from the roots to the rest of the plant.
300
This part of the plant transports the water from the roots to the rest of the plant.
What is xylem.
300
What kind of reaction occurs in photosynthesis?
Chemical reaction occurs due to the fact that a new product is made once the carbon dioxide, water, and the sun are combined. This creates glucose.
300
What is the job or niche of decomposers?
To break down dead and decaying matter.
400
Why do lions or other carnivores need producers?
Producers are the beginning of the transfer of energy. They give their energy to herbivores or animals that eat plants. Therefore, the lions can now get their energy due to the plant giving its energy to the herbivore. It all starts with the sun and producers.
400
What is the niche of the leaves?(2)
the leaves make the food and soak in the sunlight with its green pigment known as chlorophyll.
400
This is the food of the plant that the plant uses to get its energy.
What is glucose.
400
What is the plant's waste product once the photosynthesis process is complete?
Oxygen.
400
What is the level above Producers in the energy pyramid called?
1st level consumer, or Primary Consumer (Mostly Herbivores)
500
Why do we need to learn about producers before consumers?
Producers are the beginning of the transfer of energy in a food web or food chain. They make their own food and therefore the energy is made and can be passed along. Consumers cannot make their own food and depend on producers to start this process.
500
What is the niche of the stomata?
The stomata's niche is to take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen into the air.
500
This term is known as the microscopic holes, typically located underneath the leaf.
What is stomata.
500
Describe mutualism as it occurs between plants and humans and animals.
Mutualism is where both sides benefit and win. Plants give us oxygen, the air we need to breathe, and we give plants carbon dioxide, the air they need to make their glucose and to stay alive.
500
What way should arrows be properly drawn on a food web or food chain?
The arrows should be drawn so that they are going from what is being eaten to what is eating it. In other words, from prey into predator, or from grass to the cow.
