Chapter 2 Flashcards
(15 cards)
Primary consumers are also known as
Herbivores
Photosynthesis produces sugars from
Water carbon dioxide and energy
Potential energy is
Stored
Motion of a rock rolling downhill is known as
Kinetic energy
The length and complexity of a food web in the Arctic would be blank when compared to one in the tropical rain forest
Shorter and less complex
The law of conservation of matter tells us that matter
Is used repeatedly
What implications does the law of conservation of matter have for humans?
Disposable goods are not going away when we throw them out
The first law of thermodynamics and law of conservation of matter are similar in that
Undernormal circumstances neither energy or matter is created nor destroyed
What implications does the second law of thermodynamics have for biological systems
Constant supply of energy is necessary for maintenance of biological systems
Primary consumers are also known as
Herbivores
Photosynthesis produces sugars from
Water, carbon dioxide, and energy
All members of a species that live in the same area at the same time make up an
Population
A biological community consists of all
Populations living in interacting in an area
Metabolism can be seen as the process of conserving
Potential energy into Kinetic Energy
And ecosystem consists of
The biological community and its physical environment
