Bio? Geo? What?
The following are matter cycles: Oxygen, Phosphorus, Water, _____, _____
What is Carbon and Nitrogen?
This refers to the different energy or feeding level an organism can be in a food chain or food web.
What is trophic level?
A group of consumers and producers living in the same area is known as this
What is community?
These organisms make their own food
What is producer/autotroph?
This is the name of Ms. Swalve's dog :)
What is Bandit?
This cycle includes combustion, decomposition, respiration and photosynthesis
What is Carbon?
The Laws of Thermodynamics states that this can neither be created nor destroyed
What is energy?
Producers are also known as this
What are autotrophs?
These organisms have to eat their food
What is consumer/heterotroph?
What is combustion or carbon emissions?
Carbon dioxide is pulled out of the air from plants to perform this.
What is photosynthesis?
This is the difference between food chain and food web.
What is 1 energy flow vs all energy flow?
Consumers are known as this
What are heterotrophs?
These perform photosynthesis
What is producer/autotroph?
This is what humans expel when they breathe out
What is carbon dioxide?
The atmosphere is made up of 78% nitrogen but most organisms cannot pull nitrogen from the air. Bacteria in the soil perform this to allow organisms to utilize it.
What is nitrogen fixation?
According to the Laws of Thermodynamics, energy that flows through an ecosystem is either given to the next trophic level or this
What is eliminated as heat?
This is the level of organization where all life exists
What is biosphere?
These consumers do not typically get consumed
What are apex predators/tertiary consumers?
Nitrogen can be fixed through bacteria and this
What is lightning?
Elements like Nitrogen and ________ are found in soils in extreme amounts due to human activity
What is phosphorus?
A tertiary predator in an energy pyramid received 55 kcal of energy. This is the amount of energy that was available in the producer level of that same pyramid.
What is 55,000 kcal?
If a snake eats a mouse that only eats berries and nuts, the snake can be classified as this trophic level
What is secondary consumer?
These consumers eat plants/producers
What is primary consumer?
This process is known as nutrients enriching an area
What is eutrophication?
