Interactions of Living Things
Producers use the energy in sunlight to make their own food. (Photosynthesis)
What are Grasslands? What's the climate like there?
A Grassland is an area where grasses are the main plant. Temperate grasslands have hot summers and cold winters, and Savannas have wet and dry seasons.
What is energy?
Energy is the ability to do work or cause change.
What is energy from the sun transferred in the atmosphere through?
It is transferred through the atmosphere by radiation, thermal conduction, and convection.
What is a limiting factor?
Limiting factors in an environment keep a population from growing without a limit.
What is the layer of frozen soil below the surface in the Tundra?
Permafrost.
How is mechanical energy found?
It is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy.
What is radiation transferred through?
Radiation is transferred through electromagnetic waves, conduction through solids, and convection through a liquid or gas.
What is related to each other? A. Science and Technology only. B. Technology and Mathematics only. C. Mathematics and Technology only. D. Science, Technology, and Mathematics. E. None of the above.
D. Science, Technology, and Mathematics.
How much energy is transferred from one organism to another?
What is the climate like in deserts and how do the animals survive?
Deserts are very dry and often very hot. Desert plants and animals compete for the limited water supply and they have special adaptations to help them survive.
What is a nonrenewable resource and what is an example of one?
A nonrenewable resource is a resource that can't be replaced within a human lifetime, and an example is fossil fuels.
What is the greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect is Earth's heating process. (Increasing levels of greenhouse gasses could cause global warming.)
What requirements do engineers have to meet? A. Social needs, and Political needs. B. Political needs, and Economic needs. C. Social needs, and Economic needs. D. Social needs, Political needs, and Economic needs. E. None of the above.
D. Social needs, Political needs, and Economic needs.
What is symbiosis and what are the relationships?
Symbiosis occurs when two organisms have a close relationship. Mutualism (Happy, Happy), Commensalism (Happy, Unaffected), and Paratism (Happy, Sad.)
What are the two types of water biomes?
Marine and freshwater.
What is a renewable resource and what is an example of one?
A renewable resource is a resource that can be replaced within a human lifetime and an example of one is solar energy.
How do water currents affect weather and climate?
It can move warm water currents, causing warmer climates.
What does technology have? A. Intentive benefits and no consequences. B. Non-intentive benefits and expected consequences. C. Unintended consequences and no benefits. D. Intentive benefits and Unintended consequences. E. None of the above
D. Intentive benefits and Unintended consequences.
What is competition?
Competition is when two or more individuals or populations try to use the same resource.
What is a biome?
A biome is characterized by abiotic factors such as climate, and biotic factors such as plant and animal communities.
What does the Energy Law of Conservation state?
Energy can't be created nor destroyed it can only transfer from one state to another.
What is Mrs. Denney's saying?
HIGH PRESSURE MAKES HAPPY WEATHER LOW PRESSURE MAKES LOUSY WEATHER. OR HIGH LOW HIGH LOW AIR PRESSURE GOES FROM HIGH LOW.
What is Bioengineering?
Bioengineering is engineering that develops technology for living things.
