Biotic Elments
What do you need for a Suitable Habitat?
Oxygen,Water,Food and Shelter
Scavenegers:
They feed off of the remains of dead animals:
Crows
Turkeys Vultures
Photosynthesis;
It is the process of producers making their own food, The plant will take, sun, water, carbon dioxide, and glucose to make energy, it has a waste of oxygen
What is a food chain?
The feeding interaction in between producers and consumers.
What are some Limiting factors, what does that mean?
Tsumi, Earthquake, Apex predators, dieses are all examples of something that would limit the population of something else
Why do you need food?
Helps give nutrients and provide energy
Decomposers
Consumers that break down the dead plants and animals
Fungus, Bactria
What is a Herbivore?
Eats only produce (plants)
What is a food web?
It is a bunch of innterconnecting in between food chains.
What are the producer's roles?
Provide food, Shelter and Oxygen for the ecstyem.
Why do you need Oxygen?
Helps your body release and use energy made from food you eat.
Detritivores:
Feed off of Waste
Snails
Worms
What is a Carnivore?
Eats only meat
What do all food chains start with?
A producer
Explain a food pyramid:
At the bottom, there are Producers 1000 units of energy Then Primary consumers100 U, Then Secondary consumers 10 U and last Apex consumers/ tertiary consumers 1 U. 90% units stay and 10% go up.
Why do you need Water?
Many chemical reactions that keep you alive take place in water. 70% of your body is water.
What is a Producer?
A living thing that can produce its own food:
Plants, Trees, Crop, Grass
What is an Omnivore?
Eats meat and Produce
What is the peak of a food chain called?
The apex/ tersheray consumer.
What are the 4 types of Adaptations?
Structural (Physical things that help with survival: Giraffes neck), Behavioural (the way something Behaves), Phislocial (Things you have to adjust to when moving environments), Sensory (senses)
How many days can you go without these?
Food=3 weeks
Water=3 days
Oxygen=3 minutes
What is a Consumer?
The biotic thing has to consume other things in order to survive.
What is a living thing and what is a dead thing?
Biotic
Abiotic
What is succession?
Is the natural replacment between a bunch of living things.
What is Succession:
It is the natural replacement of one population of living things by another: Dirt-weeds-grass-bushes-trees Primary=The formation of an ecosystem where no other has been- Secondary= Comes when something has been wrecked- Pioneer species = first plants in primary succession- Climax Comintiy= When it is done. It takes 40 years to form a forest.
