2. ) BIOME
3. )ECOSYSTEM

Question 11

What are the 3 SMALLEST level of ORGANIZATION

Answer 11

4. ) COMMUNITY
5. ) POPULATION
6. ) ORGANISM

Question 12

What are the 4 MAIN PROCESS CARBON is moved through the CARBON CYCLE

Answer 12

1. ) a. Biological processes
2. ) b. Geochemical processes
3. ) c. Burial and decomposition of dead organisms
4. ) d.Human activities

Question 13

What is the BIOLOGICAL PROCESS

Answer 13

Examples; of like in photosynthesis, respiration, and decomposition, is take up and release carbon and oxygen

Question 14

What is the GEOCHEMICAL PROCESS

Answer 14

Process of erosion and volcanic activity THAT IS released carbon dioxide into the atmosphere

Question 15

WHAT is the process of BRUIAL+ DECOMPOSITION of dead organisms

Answer 15

Dead organisms and their conversion when under pressure that turn into coal and petroleum, (fossil fuels) that store carbon underground.

Question 16

What is the process of HUMAN activities, that contribute to the CARBON CYCLE

Answer 16

Examples; mining, cutting and burning forests, and burning fossil fuels ALL release CARBON DIOXIDE into the ATMOSPHERE.

Question 17

What process under goes when a NITRATE is turned into a GASOUS NITROGEN FORM and why is it IMPORTANT

Answer 17

Denitrifying bacteria turn nitrite back into nitrogen gas to circulate in our atmosphere. IMPORTANCE of this process is that NITROGEN (most abundant gas) is RELEASED back into the ATMOSPHERE by NITROGEN- FIXING BACTERIA .

Question 18

What are the (5) types of HETEROTROPHS

Answer 18

1. ) Herbivores
2. ) Carnivores
3. ) Omnivore
4. ) Detritivore

Question 19

Why is NITROGEN essential to LIVING ORGANISM.

Answer 19

BLANK is the BUILDING BLOCK of LIFE. Protein + amino acid is developed, also BLANK is found in DNA.

Question 20

What does a pyramid of energy show

Answer 20

Unusable energy that decrees with each higher feeding level.

Question 21

What % of the CONSUMER LEVEL nutrients are used to make NEW BODY TISSUE

Answer 21

10% of the nutrients.

Question 22

What CONTROLS the PRIMARY PRODUCER of a ECOSYSTEM

Answer 22

The AMOUNT of AVAILABLE nutrients, that the producer receives.

Question 23

How does an INFLUX occur in ALGAE in a AQUATIC ECOSYSTEM

Answer 23

When MORE NUTRIENTS are available then NEEDED in the WATER, therefore PRODUCERS INCREASE, creating more ALGAE then needed.

Question 24

Why are ALGAL BLOOM (dangerous) to an AQUATIC ECOSYSTEM

Answer 24
