Term
Definition
Ecosystems   Are all living things, matter, and energy  
🗑
Photosynthesis   Is how all energy enters an ecosystem  
🗑
The Sun is the source of energy for an ecosystem   What is the source of energy in an ecosystem  
🗑
The plants get food from the sun by photosynthesis then a herbivore eats the plants   How does this energy enter the ecosystem  
🗑
Producers   are plants that make their own food  
🗑
Consumers   are animals or things that get their energy from eating plants or animals  
🗑
Autotroph   Are Producers  
🗑
Heterotroph   are consumers  
🗑
Detrivore   eats dead plant and animal matter  
🗑
-10% of the available energy is passed onto the next tropic level. -The other 90% goes to: Growth, Maintenance, movement and heat   Energy in an ecosystem  
🗑
Productivity   the amount of biomass produced per unit area in one year  
🗑
Biomagnification   The amount of DDT moving from producers to primary consumers to secondary consumers, and so on.  
🗑
Biotic   living things  
🗑
Abiotic   non-living things  
🗑
Primary Succession   Takes place in an area with no previous living organism  
🗑
Secondary Succession   Takes place in an ecosystem after a disturbance to the previous climax community  
🗑
Succession   The gradual change in populations of organisms in an ecosystems leading to a climax community  
🗑
Catalyst   increases rate of reaction without actually taking part in the reaction  
🗑
inhibitor   slows down reaction rate  
🗑
Indicators   help identify acids and bases  
🗑
Wind   -caused by uneven heating of the earth -warm air rises. Cool air comes into takes its place  
🗑
Coriolis Effect   -Wind is curved because the earth is rotating -Curves to right in the northern hemisphere (opposite in the southern hemisphere)  
🗑
Cold Front   is when a moving cold air mass overtakes a warmer air masses  
🗑
Stationary Front   when cold air mass and a warm air mass are in contact but neither is moving  
🗑
occuded front   cold front catches up with a slower moving warm front. The cold pushes all warm air up, away from the ground.  
🗑
Pyramid of Biomass   Shows that Biomass decreases from each trophic level to the one above  
🗑
Pyramid of Energy   Measures the total chemical energy the flows through each tropic level  
🗑
Level of Consumers   Primary, secondary and tertiary  
🗑
Population   All organisms of the same species, living in the same ecosystem, at the same time  
🗑
Community   All living organisms,in the same ecosystem at the same time  
🗑
4 main factors that effect population size   Death, birth, moving in, and moving out  
🗑
Intraspecific competition   competition among members of the same species  
🗑
Interspecific competition   competition between two different species  
🗑
density-dependant factors   factors that increases in significance as a population grows  
🗑
density-independant   a natural disaster that will affect everything  
🗑
