Ecology

Question 1

Biomes?

Answer 1

HUGE parts of the Earth that have a specific climate and a dominate plant type

Question 2

Environment?

Answer 2

All the living(biotic) and non living(abiotic) things

Question 3

Habitat?

Answer 3

Where biotic things live

Question 4

Can a seed sprout without sun?

Answer 4

Yes, it releases sprout

Question 5

What is a dicot?

Answer 5

Two sides, splits easily, clear line of division longways down the middle
ex: bean seeds

Question 6

What is a monocot?

Answer 6

Total seed, does not easily split and doesn’t have a line down the middle
ex: popcorn kernels

Question 7

Parts of a Lima bean?

Answer 7

Seed coat, Seed Scar, Cotyledon, Embryo stem, leaf and root

Question 8

What do flowers do?

Answer 8

Reproduction to seeds

Question 9

What do leaves do?

Answer 9

Makes SUGAR(photosynthesis), have veins, stomates(holes,layers) that take in CO2, O2 and H2O

Question 10

What does a stem do?

Answer 10

transports water up(xylem) and sugar down(phloem)

Question 11

What is a capillary action?

Answer 11

Weak covalent bonds between H2O and everything

Question 12

What do roots do?

Answer 12

Collects H20 and minerals, holds plant to ground and holds ground together

Question 13

How does a plant make sugar?

Answer 13

Sunlight is absorbed into the plant by chlorophyll stored in ATP molecules and a chemical reaction occurs between water and CO2 from stored ATP molecules to make sugar

Question 14

How does a plant make energy?

Answer 14

Breaks down/burning sugar using oxygen and releases energy, CO2 and H2O

Question 15

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Answer 15

6H20+6CO2+light goes to C6H12+6O2

Question 16

What is the chemical equation for respiration?

Answer 16

C6H12+6O2 goes to 6H20+6CO2+ATP(energy)

Question 17

What is a community?

Answer 17

Different biotic populations that live in a defined area

Question 18

What is a population?

Answer 18

Specific biotic organisms that live in the same place at the same time

Question 19

What is a species?

Answer 19

Group of organisms so similar they can produce their own kind

Question 20

What is ecology

Answer 20

study of ecosystems/environment

Question 21

Nitrogen cycle?

Answer 21

N2 in air, N2 settles in soil, Bacteria “fix” N2 in plants, animals eat plant, dead stuff and N2 is released and decomposed

Question 21

Food pyramid?

Answer 21

Bottom to top:
Plants/Producer(plants produce something)
Primary Consumer (Herbivores)
Secondary Consumer (Carnivore and Omnivore)
after death is Scavengers and decomposes
