Types of Organisms and Trophic Pyramid
An organism that can make its own food. What level is it at too
Producer, at the bottom-worm, clam, crab
Rocks
Abiotic, rocks are a non-living organism
Just a flower
Organism
What is the food-producing process in plants?
Photosynthesis
Populations change by
Births & Deaths, Immigration & Emigration, Population Density
An organism that gets energy by breaking down biotic wastes and dead organisms and returns raw materials to the soil and water
Decomposer-mushroom, bacteria
Moss
Biotic, Moss is living
Flowers in a space
Population
Why is the burning of fossil fuels a concern for scienticts?
Burning fossil fuels causes climate change
Populations are limited by
space & shelter, water & food, and climate & weather
Animals that eat producers to get energy
Herbivore-deer, rabbit
Dirt
Abiotic/Biotic, Dirt can be either because it is a mixture of non-living, physical components, but with living or once organisms
Space with biotic and abiotic factors
Ecosystem
What is the chemical equation for carbon
C6H1202 + 6 02 --> 6 CO2 + 6 H20 + Energy
What is an abiotic factor? Biotic?
Abiotic=non living organism, thing, item in the ecosystem
Biotic=A living item or object in the ecosystem, or used to be living
Eat producers and consumers
Omnivore-people since they eat fruits, vegtables, grains, meat, dairy. Also dogs, bears, raccoons
three examples of how abiotic and biotic factors work together
Animals (biotic) drink the water (abiotic), Animals (biotic) breath in the oxygen (abiotic), and Animals (biotic) take in the energy from the sun (abiotic)
What is a limiting factor
Are factors that limit the size of a population in an ecosystem
Where does the carbon in fossil fuels come from?
The carbon from fossil fuels comes from decomposing animals
From _____ to top, and there is no _____ on how many levels there are, but the one at the very ___ has the _____ amount of energy
Bottom, limit, top, least
An organism that obtains energy by feeding on other organisms What level is it at too
Consumer-owls, tigers, great white sharks
Stream
Abiotic, a stream is water, water is non-living
A space with just biotic factors
Community
Why could you say that plants are a sink for carbon?
Plants are a sink for carbon because they are all made of carbon
What percent of energy goes up in the tropic pyrimid?
10%
