Biogeochemical Cycles
This process in the water cycle is considered "plant sweat".
What is transpiration?
List the three biotic components required in an ecosystem.
What is producers, consumers, and decomposers.
The ultimate source of energy in an ecosystem?
What is the sun?
This is the organelle that photosynthesis takes place in.
What is the chloroplast?
A biome with extreme rainfall.
What is the tropical rainforest?
Fossil fuels are a sink in this cycle.
What is the carbon cycle?
List the 3 required abiotic components in an ecosystem.
What is air, water, and energy (sunlight).
All ecological pyramids have a base (bottom) level of this type of organism.
What is a producer?
The chemical cycle that both photosynthesis and cellular respiration are a part of is _______.
What is the carbon cycle?
A biome that is extremely dry with no rain.
What is the desert?
This cycle relies on bacteria.
What is the nitrogen cycle?
One organism (the parasite) feeds on the body of, or energy used by, another organism (type of predation). +/-
What is parasitism?
The amount of energy is passed on from one trophic level to the next?
What is 10%?
These are the reactants and products for photosynthesis.
What is ?:
REACTANTS- carbon dioxide, water, & sunlight energy
PRODUCTS-oxygen & glucose
A biome that is extremely cold and features permafrost?
What is the tundra?
These two cycles play roles in eutrophication (excess nutrients in bodies of water).
What is the nitrogen and water cycles?
Interaction that benefits both species by providing each other with food, shelter, or some other resource. +/+
What is mutualism?
These organisms in the food chain need to eat other organisms for energy.
What is a consumer?
These are the reactants and products for cellular respiration.
What is? :
REACTANTS- oxygen & glucose
PRODUCTS- carbon dioxide, water, & ATP
This island would have the highest species richness.
What is a close and large island?
Without this organism, all of the cycles will not be able to take place.
What is a producer?
Interaction that benefits one species but has little, if any, effect on the other. +/0
What is commensalism?
The difference between a food chain and a food web.
What is: a food chain is a group of organisms linked in order of the food they eat, from producers to consumers, and from prey, predators, scavengers, and decomposers.
A food web is all of the food chains in an ecosystem.
The relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
What is?:
Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration are dependant on each other. You cannot have one without the other. The reactants for one process are the products for the other.
The five main threats to biodiversity are _________.
What is HIPPO?
Habitat Loss
Invasive Species
Pollution
Population Growth
Overharvesting
