FINAL
4
Parts of an Ecosystem 100

• Organism that performs photosynthesis to create
  its own food

Autotroph
5
Parts of an Ecosystem 200

• Any organism that must obtain food and eat to
  obtain nutrients.

Heterotroph (or consumer)
6
Parts of an Ecosystem 300

• This type of factor is either an organism (dead
  or alive), or some product of an organism (e.g.
  feces or sap)

Biotic factor
7
Parts of an Ecosystem 400

• Three examples of abiotic factors that could be
  found in an ecosystem

Water, Carbon dioxide, oxygen, temperature
8
Parts of an Ecosystem 500

• Multiple populations of different species living
  in the same area

Community
9
Relationships 100

• True or False?
• Human activity like hunting increases
  biodiversity?

False
10
Relationships 200

• Organism responsible for changing nitrogen into a
  useable form

Bacteria
11
Relationships 300

• A diagram that shows the relationships between
  food chains

Food Web
12
Relationship 400

• The maximum population of a species that the
  environment can sustain without damaging the
  environment.

Carrying Capacity
13
Relationships 500

• Organism that plays a critical role in
  stabilizing relationships within an ecosystem.

Keystone species
14
Investigations 100

• A biology class was measuring the amount of
  rainfall in a nearby forest. What would make the
  investigation more reliable?

Taking the measurements more often, running more
trials.
15
Investigations 200

• We want to learn about the insect populations and
  their habitat in the JHS Forest. What type of
  investigation would be most appropriate?

A field study
16
Investigations 300

• We want to measure the height of all the trees in
  the JHS forest. What are some constraints, other
  than cost? What are limitations caused by those
  constraints?

Need proper equipment otherwise it is not
accurate. Need time, otherwise the job would not
be completed.
17
Investigations 400

• What could be an unintended consequence of
  cutting trees down for firewood?

The land might erode, animals might leave the
area.
18
Investigations 500

• How would you determine the validity of an
  investigation about plant growth in different
  locations?

Use another location different than the original
locations.
19
Changes in an Ecosystem 100

• An organisms unique role in the ecosystem

Niche
20
Changes in an Ecosystem 200

• Process of change that occurs in an ecosystem as
  new plant and animal life enter

Succession
21
DAILY DOUBLE Changes in an Ecosystem

• Term used to describe a stable ecosystem that has
  completed succession

Climax Community
22
Changes in an Ecosystem 400

• The term for the process of pollutants that build
  up in an organisms body.

Bioaccumulation
23
Changes in the Ecosystem 500

• The organism that would need to be reduced to
  decrease hawks, but increase grass
• Grass Rabbit Snake Hawk

Rabbit
24
Diagram Analysis! 100

• What is the carrying capacity for rabbits?

Roughly 65 rabbits
25
Diagram Analysis! 200

• This organism has the potential for a high
  concentration of pesticides.

Owl (Tertiary Consumer)
26
Diagram Analysis! 300

• Predict what the moose population will be at the
  peak of the next generation.

Roughly 1500 moose
27
Diagram Analysis! 400

• A majority of energy is available at this level.

Producer
28
Diagram Analysis! 500

• What impact does removing mice have on the food
  web?

Nothing. The food web is stable enough to
continue.
