FOOD WEBS, PHOTOSYNTHESIS, CELL RESPIRATION AND ENERGY PYRAMIDS
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Energy pyramids order | Producers, Primary Consumers, Secondary Consumers, Tertiary Consumers |
Give an example of something that would cause competition within a population. | A location to live in between two animals. |
If all the Eagles were to die off, what effect would this have on the herbivores? | If the eagles die off the herbivores would increase. The eagle may not eat the herbivores so they would increase in numbers. |
Define territory. | Territory means a location that belongs to someone/something. |
What would be an example of a third-order consumer's interdependence (think food chain) with a producer? (Look at picture on Ecosystem slides) | Eagle - Snake - Rabbit - Grass |
Mutualism | A symbiosis that is good for both organisms that are involved. |
Commensalism | When two organisms don’t benefit from each other; go without affecting it. |
Parasitism | Living as a parasite (mosquito) in or on another organism. |
Symiosis | interaction between two different organisms living in close physical association. |
Define niche | Definition: Niche is the job of an animal in it environment. |
Give an example of a niche | The niche of a bird is to find berries. |
What is the foundation of all food webs? | The producers. |
Producer: | An organism that makes its own food. Ex: Grass |
Consumer: | Any organism that eats another organism; can’t make its own food. Ex: Ms. Hawkes |
Decomposer: | An organism that decomposes organic matter. Ex: Fungi |
What is the equation for photosynthesis? | Co2 (carbon dioxide) + 6H20 (water) = (light) glucose + oxygen |
What are the reactants of cellular respiration? | Glucose and oxygen |
What are the products of photosynthesis? | Glucose and oxygen |
Parts of the cell used: Photosynthesis: | Chloroplast |
Parts of the cell used: Cellular Respiration: | Mitochondria |
Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide enter the leaves through openings called - | STOMATA |
A plants food is sugar called - | GLUCOSE |
Water enters the plant through the - | ROOTS |
Plants convert light energy(sun) into - | chemical energy |
Photosynthesis takes place in | Plants |
Reactants of Photosynthesis | Carbon Dioxide, water, and light energy |
Products of Photosynthesis | Oxygen and glucose |
Photosynthesis energy is | Stored in glucose |
Respiration takes place in | Plants and Animals |
Reactants of respiration are | Oxygen and glucose |
Products of respiration are | Carbon dioxide, water and chemical energy |
Respiration Energy is: | Released from glucose |
If humans were to leave Earth, would plants be able to survive? | Yes, Plants would survive because they go through cellular respiration that creates carbon dioxide. |
