Unit 1: The Living World: Ecosystems
The amount of energy conserved between trophic levels.
What is 10%?
The three factors influencing biodiversity.
What is genetic diversity, species diversity, and habitat diversity?
Species that tend to be advantaged in habitats that
are changing.
What is a generalsit?
The three boundaries plate tectonics form.
What is convergent, divergent, and transform boundaries?
The trophic level with the highest amount of energy.
What is producers?
The four categories of ecosystem services.
What is provisioning, regulating, cultural,
and supporting services?
Species that tend to be small, have
many offspring, expend or invest minimal
energy for each offspring, mature early, have
short life spans, and may reproduce only once
in their lifetime.
What is an r-selected species?
The three types of rocks.
What is igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks?
A long-term biological interaction in which members of one species benefits while the other species neither benefits nor is harmed.
What is Commensalism.
The range of conditions, such as temperature, salinity, flow rate, and sunlight that an organism can endure
before injury or death results.
What is Ecological Tolerance?
This survivorship curve shows a roughly constant mortality rate for the species through its entire life
What is type 2 survivorship curve?
A famous fault line located in United States, California.
What is the San Andreas fault line?
The two factors influencing terestrial biomes.
What is temperature and precipitation ?
Leads to the creation of new adaptations.
What is genetic/DNA mutations?
Factors influencing total fertility rate.
Education, Social and Cultural Norms, Access to healthcare, and Socio-economic status.
The two forms in which rocks weather.
Chemical and Physical weathering.
If a producer contains 10,000Kcal, how much energy would a quatenary consumer contain?
What is 1%?
A species whose activities have a
particularly significant role in determining
community structure.
What is a keystone species?
Countries with high infant mortality rates.
What are developing countries?
This Horizon is made of bedrock.
What is the R Horizon?
