Abiotic Factors
Photo-WHAT?
All about the Process
Random
100

An organism that makes its energy using the light from the sun

What is a producer?

100

In the deep ocean, this abiotic factor is almost completely absent, so many animals cannot do photosynthesis, or have to make their own.

What is sunlight?

100

This process uses carbon dioxide, water and sunlight to produce energy.

What is photosynthesis?

100

The process animals use to break down glucose and make energy.

What is cellular respiration?

100

This is the name of the man who taught us about salmon this morning. 

Who is Peter? 

200

An organism that eats other organisms for its energy

What is a consumer?

200

This abiotic factor causes cold, saltier water to sink and hot, less salty water to rise. 

What is water density? 

200

These chemicals are the products of photosynthesis. 

What are glucose and oxygen?

200

The process diatoms use to make energy.

What is photosynthesis?

200

Where we are going for our field trip!

What is the MLK Shoreline?

300

An example of a microscopic decomposer.

What is bacteria?

300

This abiotic factor—how salty the water is—can affect what types of animals live in the ocean.


What is salinity?

300

What the mass of a tree primarily made from.

What is carbon dioxide? 

(alternate acceptable answer: What is carbon?)

300

This is the name of the process yeast cells use to turn sugar and oxygen into energy.


What is cellular respiration?

300

All living things are made of these!

What are cells?

400

The consumer at the top of the food web that has no predators.

What is an apex predator?

400

This abiotic factor moves warm and cold water around the ocean and helps carry nutrients up from the bottom of the ocean.

What are ocean currents?

(Alternate acceptable answer: global conveyor belt)

400

Photosynthesis can only happen in the top layer of the ocean because it needs this abiotic factor.


Sunlight

400

This is the name of the waste product that yeast cells release? 

Hint: It makes bread rise!

What is carbon dioxide?

400

Long pants, closed toe shoes, sunscreen, and a hat!

What do we need to wear on Friday for our field trip?

500

These organisms form the base of most marine food webs, converting sunlight into energy through photosynthesis.

What are Primary Producers (or autotrophs like phytoplankton)?

500

If this abiotic factor rises too much, coral can get stressed and "bleach," losing the algae they depend on.


What is ocean temperature?

500

To make their own food, ocean plants like seaweed and phytoplankton take in this gas from the water.


What is carbon dioxide, CO2? 

500

Marine animals like fish need this gas to do cellular respiration and stay alive.


What is oxygen?

500

This is what we can do to help slow down climate change. 

Stop using fossil fuels or plant more plants.
