| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BIOTIC AND ABIOTIC FACTORS? GIVE EXAMPLES... | BIOTIC- LIVING EX. DOG, GRASS, ANTS ABIOTIC- NONLIVING EX. WATER, SOIL, LIGHT |

| WHY DOES THERE HAVE TO BE MORE GRASS THAN PRAIRE DOGS IN THE COMMUNITY? | BECAUSE PRIARE DOGS CAN ONLY USE THE ENERGY THAT GRASSES STORE IN THEIR OWN TISSUES SO THEY HAVE TO EAT A LOT OF GRASS IN ORDER TO GET THE ENERGY THEY NEED. |
| MAKE A FOOD CHAIN USEING THE FOLLOWING ORGANISMS: MOUSE, SNAKE, GRASS, HAWK. | GRASS-----> MOUSE-----> SNAKE-----> HAWK PRODUCER->PRIMARY ---> SECONDARY->TERTIARY CONSUMER CONSUMER CONSUMER |
| A LIMITING FACTOR IS A _____________ THAT BECOMES SCARCE. LIMITING FACTORS WILL CAUSE A LARGE POPULATION TO DIE BACK TO THE ENVIRONMENT'S ________________ _______________. | 1) NEEDED RESOURCE 2) CARRYING CAPPACITY |
| ALL OF THE FOLLOWING ARE THE MAIN WAYS ORGANISMS INTERACT IN COMMUNITIES EXCEPT... -COMPETION -PREDATORS AND PREY -SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIPS -LIFE CYCLE EXTENSION | -LIFE CYCLE EXTENSION |

| TOMATO HORNWORM AND WASP... (MUTUALISM/COMMENSALISM/PARASITISM) | PARASITISM |
| YOU AND THE BACTERIA IN YOUR INTESTINES THQT HELP BREAKDOWN FOOD... (MUTUALISM/COMMENSALISM/PARASITISM) | MUTUALISM |
| BARNACLES ATTACH THEMSELVES TO HTE SHELLS OF CRAB... (MUTUALISM/COMMENSALISM/PARASITISM) | COMMENSALISM |

| ORCHIDS GROW IN TREE BRANCHES... (MUTUALISM/COMMENSALISM/PARASITISM) | COMMENSALISM |
| THE MATTER IN YOUR BODY HAS BEEN ON EARTH ONLY SINCE THE TIME YOU WERE BORN? (TRUE/FALSE) | FALSE |
| ALL OF THE FOLLOWING ARE TRUE ABOUT MATTER EXCEPT... -IT OCCUPIES SPACE AND HAS MASS -IT IS USED OVER AND OVER AGAIN -ONLY LIVING THINGS CONTAIN MATTER -EACH KIND OF MATTER HAS ITS OWN CYCLE | -ONLY LIVING THINGS CONTAIN MATTER |
| THE WATER CYCLE IS THE MOVEMENT OF WATER AMONG THE ATMOSPHERE, THE LAND, THE OCEAN, AND __________________. | 1) LIVING THINGS |
| WHEN WATER VAPOR COOLS AND FORMS A LIQUID... | CONDENSATION |
| WHEN HEAT CHANGES WATER FROM A LIQUID TO A VAPOR... | EVAPORATION |
| SNOW, SLLET, HAIL AND RAIN... | PRECIPITATION |
| WHEN ANIMALS AND PLANTS RETURN MOISTURE TO THE ATMOSPHERE... | TRANSPIRATION |
| ALL WATER, EXCEPT GROUND WATER, EVENTUALLY RETURNS TO THE ATMOSPHERE. (TRUE/FALSE) | FALSE |
| GOUND WATER IS FOUND BELOW EARTH'S SURFACE (TRUE/FALSE) | TRUE |
| WHAT PERCENTAGE OF YOUR BODY IS MADE OF WATER? | 70 PERCENT |
| HOW DOES CARBON MOVE FROM THE AIR INTO LIVING THINGS? | PLANTS USE CARBON FROM THE AIR IN THE FORM OF CARBON DIOXIDE TO MAKE SUGAR DURING PHOTOSYNTHESIS. OTHER ORGANISMS EAT THE PLANTS AND OBTAIN THE CARBONS THEY NEED |
