Ecological Pyramid, Trophic Levels, Trees, Tundra Biome Flashcards
(25 cards)
also called autotrophs. Conducts photosynthesis and is mainly plants % organisms
Producers
necrotrophs. plant pathogens that kill host cells and then feed on the dead cells to obtain nutrients
Consumers
eat plants only. These are primary consumers.
Herbivores
Categorized as secondary consumers. Eat meat at lives off of primary consumers.
Carnivores
These are humans. Eats plants and animals
Omnivores
an organism, especially a soil bacterium, fungus, or invertebrate, that feeds off of organic material.
Decomposers
a process that uses 100% Chemical Energy. Uses Carbon Dioxide and Water to produce glucose.
Photosynthesis
breakdown of glucose to produce energy in form of ATP
Respiration
states that when energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next in a food chain, only about 10% of the energy is passed on
10% Rule
Deciduous Trees shed their leaves during ______, and regrow their leaves during _____
Autumn, Spring
This type of tree holds onto its leaves all year long. Close to the poles.
Conifers
Colder climate. Needle like leaves
Conifers
This indicates that chlorophyll and magnesium are soaked from leaves to the main body
Brown leaves
This indicates that less water is lost
Small leaves
This is where Carbon dioxide Enters and Oxygen and water exits
Stomata
Time that guard cells keep holes open
Day
Time that potassium from guard cells go to neighbor cells making them swell to close
Night
Poles that Tundra Biome is located
North & South
Temperature of Tundra Biomes in F
10-20
Short summers at 50
Tundra Biome
What is permafrost?
Frozen soil
dessert area north of the 66th parallel
Arctic
indigenous people in arctic regions of North America and Asia
Eskimos
This is produced when sea freezes and salt rises as crystals
