Unit 8 Biomes/Cycles
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| This biome has tons of rain and has the most diversity of plants and animals. Warm and humid | Tropical Rainforest |
| This biome is very dry and hot. Snakes, rodents, lizards, small shrubs and cacti can be found. | Desert |
| This biome is covered with trees that have cones. Found in Northern areas. Deer, bears, elk, moose, are commonly seen. | Coniferous Forest |
| This. biome has trees that lose their leaves in the fall. Deer, squirrels, rabbits, fox are commonly seen. | Deciduous Forest |
| Tall grasses grow here, shorter trees here and there. Animals such as zebra, giraffes, bison, can be found. This biome is - | Grasslands |
| Found up north. Cold and some of the ground does not thaw out - permafrost. Small trees and wild flowers during summer, but grow fast. Animals - polar bears, caribou, wolves can be found | Tundra |
| This marine biome is where salt water and fresh water meet. | Intertidal |
| This marine biome is where it starts to become deep - you can't touch here, but snorkling is wonderful since there are coral reefs, tropical fish. | Neritic zone |
| This marine biome is the open ocean. Where you would go deep ocean fishing. You would find things like whales and sea turtles. | Oceanic |
| This marine biome is DEEP in the ocean. No sunlight at all, cold, and lots of pressure. | Benthic |
| This fresh water biome is quite shallow. Tons of plants and trees | Swamp |
| This fresh water biome is quite shallow and there are no trees | Marsh |
| This water biome is where fresh water and salt water meet. Tons of seafood, heron, and osprey. We live in one of the world largest! | Estuary |
| Biotic means | All of the living organisms in an area - plants, animals, bacteria, fungi, protists |
| Abiotic means | All of the NON living organisms in an area - rocks, mountains, hills, water, weather |
| Food Chain | One flow of energy starting with the sun |
| Food Web | Many food chains showing the flow of energy starting with the sun |
| Energy pyramid | Shows the flow of energy. Producers have the most and energy goes lower each level due to energy being used and heat from that organism. |
| Primary consumer | Eats the producers (plants) |
| Secondary consuer | Eats the primary consumers |
| Tertiary consumer | Eats the secondary consumers |
| This is the percentage of energy in an energy pyramid that goes from level to level - | 10% |
| The number of ONE type of organism in an area | Population |
| The living or biotic factors in a particular area | Community |
| All of the living and non living factors in a particular area | Ecosystem |
| A large area of ecosystems that share animals, plants, and weather | Biome |
| This cycle shows evaporation, condensation, precipitation - | Water Cycle |
| Plants taking in carbon dioxide, releasing oxygen - animals taking oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide, along with animal waste and emmisions is which cycle - | Carbon Cycle |
| When it lightnings, animals go to the bathroom, plants and animals die, this cycle is fixed by bacteria so plants can grow. |
