Primary and Secondary Succession | Abiotic & Biotic Factors | Aquatic Ecosystems | Food Webs and Energy Pyramids | Mixed Review |
---|---|---|---|---|
What is primary succession?
Area with no soil
|
What is an abiotic?
Wind is this type of factor.
|
What is aphotic zone?
This zone is the area of the ocean where there is no light.
|
What is decomposers?
Mushrooms, Fungus, and Bacteria are these types of organisms.
|
What is climax community?
This type of community remains steady until climate change or a natural disaster occurs
|
What is primary succession?
starts with bare rock followed by lichen
|
What is abiotic?
Precipitation is this type of factor.
|
What is the surface?
The amount of sunlight and temperature are high at this part of the ocean.
|
What is apex consumer?
This type of consumer is at the top of the energy pyramid.
|
What is the bird?
In the following food chain, which organism is the secondary consumer?
Grasses --> Grasshopper --> Bird --> Foxes |
What is secondary succession?
reaches climax community quicker because soil is already present
|
What is biotic?
Euglena is this type of factor.
|
What is the bottom?
Salinity, Pressure, and available nutrients are high at this part of the ocean.
|
What is the primary (first) trophic level?
At this trophic level, autotrophs and producers are present.
|
What is abiotic factor?
Water is an example of this type of factor.
|
What is secondary succession?
natural disasters such as flooding and tornadoes are linked to this type of succession
|
What is Living Organisms?
Grow and develop, made of cells, respond to stimuli, require energy, reproduce, and contain DNA are traits of this.
|
What is bio-luminescence
The production of light by means of a chemical reaction in an organism is called this.
|
What is the secondary (second) trophic level?
At this trophic level, primary consumers, herbivores, and heterotrophs are present.
|
What is the surface of the ocean?
If certain fish only eat producers, the fish would need to live in this area of the ocean in order to live because they need light for the producers to grow.
|
What is pioneer species
The name given to lichen or algae after a primary succession
|
What is homeostasis?
An organism's ability to maintain steady (stable) internal conditions
|
What is ocean trenches?
This is the deepest part of the ocean with water pressures more than 1,000 times greater than the surface, constant temperatures just above freezing, and no light to sustain photosynthesis
|
What is the apex (fourth) trophic level
Apex Carnivores and omnivores are present at this trophic level.
|
What is a controlled burn?
The benefits of this in a forest reduces wild fires, restores nutrients and increases biodiversity.
