| Description of Population | All the pumpkinseed sunfish living in a lake |
| Description of Biome | The deciduous forest of the eastern US |
| Description of Ecosystem | All the things in a shallow desert pool of water |
| Description of Biological Community | All coral, other invertebrates, and reef fish on the barrier reef of the coast of Belize |
| The oceans, lower atmosphere, and continents are parts of the _________. | Biosphere |
| A mushroom feeding on a dead log is an example of a(n) __________. | Detritivore |
| The total number of kilograms of algae in an aquarium is 0.98 kg. This number is an example of __________. | Biomass |
| The exchange of water, carbon nitrogen, and all other compounds throughout the portions of the planet where life exists is called the | Biogeochemical Cycle |
| The algae, insects larvae, protozoan, and other living things in a large puddle would be an example of a(n) ___________. | Community |

| STUDY PART C ON THE STUDY GUIDE | |
| Compare and Contrast the three symbiotic relationships. Use the terms commensalism, mutualism, and parasitism in your discussion. Use an example of each. | Commensalism- symbiote benefits or host is unaffected. Ex. bird rest in tree Mustalism- symbiote and host benefit. Ex. lichen Parasitism- Symbiote benefits, host is harmed. Ex. Tick on dog |
| Describe Earth’s water cycle. Use the terms condensation, evaporation, precipitation, and water vapor in your discussion. | NUMBER 28 ON STUDY GUIDE!!!! STUDYYYY!!!! |
| Coral reefs are being degraded around the globe due to human activities. Hypothesize the possible abiotic factors contributing to the decline of coral reefs. | Pollution from burning fossil fuels- carbon oxygen cycle. Also, Sedimentation from erosion as particles was down rivers to oceans. |
| STUDY NUMBER 30 0n STUDY GUIDE!!! | |
| Overnight, the water of an aquarium housing several large fish turns cloudy, and the water has a milky, white appearance. The aquarium’s owner discovers a dead fish in the aquarium. Infer how the dead fish affected the aquarium water. | As the dead fish decay they are returning phosphorus, carbon, and nitrogen. These materials that are let out have been broken down which gives the water that milky, white appearance. |
