100 Biotic Factors Living and once living (dead) parts of an ecosystem, that include all of the plants and animals	100 Abiotic Factors Nonliving parts of the ecosystem (water, air, rocks, sand, light, temperature)	100 Natural selection Survival and reproduction of organisms with particular traits and cause the characteristics of populations to change	100 Evolution A change in the genetic characteristics of a population from one generation to the next	100 Producer An organism that makes its own food
200 Species A group of organisms that can mate to produce fertile offspring	200 Population All the members of the same species that live in the same place at the same time	200 Community A group of various species that live in the same place and interact with each other	200 Adaption An inherited trait that increases an organisms chance of survival and reproduction in a certain environment	200 Consumer Organism that gets their energy by eating other organisms
300 Coevolution The process of two species evolving in response to long-term interactions with each other	300 Gynosperms Woody plants that produce seeds, but their seeds are not enclosed in fruits, they are in cones	300 Angiosperms Flowering plants that produce seeds in fruit	300 Artificial selection The selective breeding of organisms by humans for specific characteristics	300 Decomposer Consumers that get their food by breaking down dead organisms and allow nutrients in the rotting material to return to the soil, water, and air
400 10% What percentage of energy is transferred from one level to the next?	400 Nitrogen-fixing bacteria How does nitrogen get fixed from atmospheric nitrogen to usable nitrogen?	400 Erosion, plants, organisms, fertilizer How does phosphorus enter the soil and water	400 algal blooms, dense patches of algae that steal oxygen What happens when there is too much nitrogen and phosphorus in aquatic ecosystems?	400 Primary (no ecosystem existed before), Secondary (ecosystem has existed before) Old field (farmland is abandoned) Different types of succession and explain
500 Studying food chains, food webs, and trophic levels; Sequence where energy is transferred from one to the next, more food chain relationships, steps of energy transfer How can we trace the transfer of energy? What are they all?	500 Producer makes food from sun and carbon to make carbs, consumer eats producer for carbs, breathe out carbon back into the atmosphere, bacteria transfer carbon back to soil or atmosphere How does carbon transfer between organisms?	500 Resistance; Spray chemical, some survive and pass down their offspring, when chemical is sprayed again more bugs are resistant The ability of one or more organisms to tolerate a particular chemical designed to kill it, and how does it happen?	500 Archaebacteria, singles celled, no nuclei, reproduce by dividing in half, found in harsh environments; eubacteria, singles celled, no nuclei, reproduce by dividing in half; Fungi, absorb their food through their body surface, have cell walls, most live on land; Protists, single celled or many, most live in water; plants, many cells, make their own food by photosynthesis, have cell walls; animals, many cells, no cell walls, ingest their food; live on land and in water What are the 6 kingdoms of life? Give a trait of each	500 Cellular respiration; C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6O2 (oxygen) --> 6CO2 (carbon dioxide) + 6H2O (water) + energy Process of breaking down food to yield energy and what is the equation?
