Trophic Levels
This type of organism produces its own energy
Producer/Autotroph
This cycle deals with water entering the atmosphere, and falling again as precipitation
Water cycle
Plants gain their energy through a process called:
Photosynthesis
Food webs are made of many smaller:
Food chains
Give an example of one abiotic factor
Water, wind, rock, etc.
This type of organism is at the top of the food chain
Apex predator
This cycle deals with exhaust fumes entering the atmosphere, contributing heavily to greenhouse gas emissions
Carbon cycle
The products of photosynthesis are oxygen and sugar. In order to occur, cellular respiration needs:
Oxygen and sugar
In a food web, the arrows are pointing in the direction of:
The flow of energy
This type of species does not belong in its current ecosystem; it may have entered by holding on to a car and hopping off.
Invasive species
This type of consumer eats both plants and animals. The answer is not omnivore!
Secondary consumer
In the water cycle, the stage after evaporation is:
Condensation
This type of energy is required in photosynthesis:
Light/radiant energy
Each food web should begin with:
The Sun
What percent of energy is transferred between trophic levels as organisms are consumed?
10%
This type of consumer eats only plants. The answer is not herbivore!
Primary consumer
In the carbon cycle, carbon can enter the atmosphere as this specific molecule:
Carbon Dioxide/CO2 or Methane/CH4
Cellular respiration occurs here, which is why it is called the powerhouse of the cell:
Mitochondria
A mouse eats some grass. The mouse is considered a ______ consumer.
primary
This is the primary energy source for all living things on Earth
The sun
This type of consumer eats secondary consumers.
Tertiary consumer
This material is very valuable to farmers and gardeners because it allows them to artificially add nitrogen to their crops/plants:
Fertilizer
The products of photosynthesis are oxygen and:
Sugar/glucose
