Feeling Brave
100
This is the term used to describe when water particles gather together in the atmosphere
What is condensation
100
This is the term used to describe each step on an ecological pyramid
What is a trophic level
100
A food chain shows the single pathway that energy travels, where as this shows how energy moves among multiple organisms in an ecosystem
What is a food web
100
Biodiversity is defined as this
What is the total amount of different species living in an area
100
This is the term used to describe what happened in Yellowstone National Park when wolves were reintroduced
What is a trophic cascade (all organisms on lower trophic levels benefited from the hunting/killing the wolves did)
200
These events remove carbon from the atmosphere
What are photosynthesis and gas exchange with the ocean
200
This is the rule that describe the approximate amount of energy that is transferred from one trophic level to the next
What is the 10% rule
200
This is the source of all the energy on Earth
What is the sun
200
This would cause a decrease in biodiversity to occur
What is the loss of a species (or many species) of animals
200
These two processes from unit 1 play a part in the carbon cycle
What are photosynthesis and cellular respiration
300
These events release carbon into the atmosphere
What are burning fossil fuels (driving cars), cellular respiration, factories, gas exchange with the ocean, volcanic activities
300
These level consumers can be omnivores
What are secondary level consumers
300
The arrows in a food chain or web mean this
What is the energy is transferred from one organism to another
300
Invasive species cause damage to an ecosystems biodiversity in these 2 ways
What is taking resources away from native species and growing rapidly since they are not hunted by a predator
300
This is the name for the image that shows how quickly a population is growing by age as well as gender
What is an age structure diagram
400
The specific process of water exiting the stomata of leaves in plants
What is transpiration
400
As we move into higher trophic levels, energy gets lost in these 3 ways
What is heat loss, waste, and/or cellular respiration
400
This is the most important part of a food chain
What are producers (because they change the sun's energy into chemical energy that plants and other consumers can use)
400
This is the maximum amount of living organisms an ecosystem (or the biosphere) can support
What is carrying capacity
400
List 3 countries that have rapid population growth and 3 countries that are experiencing a population decline
What is A LOT! Example: Growth: saudis arabia, kenya, nigeria, etc. and Decline: Italy, Greece, Sweden etc.
500
The process of how organisms get nitrogen
What is bacteria in soil converts into a form the plants can absorb and use it to build proteins
500
These organisms must be at the base of an ecological pyramid
What are producers
500
This is what would happen if all the secondary consumers were removed from a food chain/ food web
What is the primary consumers population would increase, while the producer population would decrease
500
There are many biomes throughout the biosphere. Name the biome with the most biodiversity and the biome with the least biodiversity
What is the tropical rain forest(most) and the taiga/tundra (least)
500
This is the chemical formula for photosynthesis
What is 6CO2+6H2O+ (sun)-->C6H12O6+6O2
