Random 1
What is your mascot?
What are your school colors?
Blue and White
What is the difference between a food chain and a food web?
A food chain only shows the path of food energy from one organism to another (one connection, looks simple).
A food web can have multiple connections between organisms in an ecosystem (more complicated).
What is the process that plants do to make energy?
Photosynthesis
Give an example of a carbon sink
Trees, ocean
What 2 primary colors mixed together make green?
Blue and yellow
What 2 primary colors mixed together make purple?
Red and blue
What provides the most energy in an ecosystem?
Producer
What is the process that animals do to make energy?
Cellular Respiration
What is Earth's greatest carbon reservoir?
Hydrosphere
Who is Spongebob Squarepants' boss?
Mr. Krabs
What is Nemo's dad's name?
Marlin
From which source do almost all producers get their energy from?
The sun
What are the outputs of photosynthesis?
O2, glucose
What is a fossil fuel?
Fossil fuels are nonrenewable energy resources formed from the remains of organisms that lived long ago (e.g. oil, coal, and natural gas)
Carbon is stored in Earth's crust for a long time to become fossil fuels
What was the most popular Halloween kid's costume in 2019?
1) Princess
2) Superheroes (incl. Spiderman, Avengers, Batman)
3) Witch
What was the most popular Halloween candy in California in 2019?
1) Skittles
2) M&Ms
3) Reese's cups
Why does energy decrease when we move up a food pyramid?
Energy is lost as heat (think of the lost energy as being used in digestion).
What are the outputs of cellular respiration?
CO2, water, ATP energy
What are 2 main things that the Carbon Cycle does (what's the purpose)?
1) Makes carbon compounds continuously available in an ecosystem
2) Delivers chemical energy to organisms in the ecosystem
How many months have a 28th day?
All 12 months
What begins with an ‘E’ and ends with an ‘E’ but only has one letter?
An envelope
Define biomass.
Biomass is the total mass of living things in an area at a specific time.
Bio- = life
-mass = measure of amount of matter
Explain the model of the Oxygen Cycle. Use O2 and CO2 in your explanation.
Plants go through photosynthesis to release O2. Animals use the O2 and go through cellular respiration to release CO2 into the atmosphere. This CO2 is used by plants and the cycle continues.
Explain how photosynthesis in plants affects the Carbon Cycle
Plants take CO2 as inputs in photosynthesis and release O2 as an output. The plants act as a carbon sink to reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere.
