Global Warming 100

What is the difference between weather and climate?

Weather refers to the conditions of a particular day; Climate refers to long-

term weather conditions

Global Warming 200

OzoneMethane

Name two of the four different types of greenhouses gases.

Global Warming 300

Explain why the four greenhouse gases are referred to as greenhouse gases.

They are referred to this way because they cause a similar effect

to glass panes in a greenhouse; they keep the sun’s energy held

above the earth.

Global Warming 400

Identify two natural causes of global warming.

1. Methane gas released by animals

2. Volcanic eruptions releasing gases

3. Changes in solar radiation levels

4. The wobble of the earth

Global Warming 500Explain the greenhouse gas effect using the

following terms: High frequency, low frequency, atmosphere, greenhouse gases.

High frequency light rays pierce the earth’s atmosphere, warming up the earth. The earth radiates low frequency energy back to the

atmosphere, and it is no longer able to escape through the greenhouse gases. This causes a general warming effect on the

earth.

Food Chains & Webs 100

All food chains must begin with a _______________.

Producer

Food Chains & Webs 200

An organism that eats a consumer that originally ate a producer is called a ____________ _______________.

Secondary Consumer

Food Chains & Webs 300

What is the first level of organization of life? What is the last level?

The first level is the cell.

The final level is the biome.

Food Chains & Webs 400Daily Double

Mr. Chapman eats a delicious meal. He has a garden salad and a bald eagle on the side. The bald eagle originally ate a mouse, which originally ate a blade of grass (who knows

why). What two trophic levels is Mr. Chapman

functioning as?

Primary consumer

Tertiary consumer

Food Chains & Webs 500

90% of all energy is lost between trophic levels as you rise through a food chain. What are two reasons that this occurs?

1. Energy lost by death and decay

2. Energy lost by removal of feces

3. Energy lost by respiration

4. Energy lost by excretion

Biomagnification & Population 100

What is the pesticide called that was originally considered a miracle in the 1940’s?

DDT

Biomagnification & Population 200

In what country did the potato famine occur due to genetically similar potato crops with little pest resistance?

Ireland

What is the definition of an organic food? List at least two different qualities of organic food.

Foods produced without hormones, Foods produced without hormones, antibiotics, herbicides, insecticides, chemical antibiotics, herbicides, insecticides, chemical

fertilizers, genetic modification or germ-fertilizers, genetic modification or germ-killing radiationkilling radiation

Biomagnification & Population 400

• What temperature and pressure is a substance exposed to when its standard state is determined?

1 atm pressure, 298K or 25C

Biomagnification & Population 500

Name the two different types of growth curves, and explain the difference

between them.Exponential and Logistic GrowthIn a logistic growth curve, the population begins to decline as

resources run out and the environment can no longer

support that many organisms.

Biodiversity & Abiotic Factors 100

• True of False – in general areas that are more moist have a higher level of biodiversity.

True

Biodiversity & Abiotic Factors 200

List three abiotic factors that you might encounter in a river ecosystem.

Rocks, water, sunlight, carbon dioxide, oxygen, wood, various others.

Biodiversity & Abiotic Factors 300

What is the definition of a biotic factor?

A living component of an ecosystem.

Biodiversity & Abiotic Factors 400

What is the error in the following sentence?“The community of mice that can be supported by the

field is represented by this logistic growth curve.”

A group of mice would be known as a population.

Biodiversity & Abiotic Factors 500

Name the levels of ecological organization from smallest to largest.

Cell, Tissue, Organ, Organ System, Organism, Population, Community, Ecosystem, Biome

Biogeochemical Cycles 100

Oxygen cycles through an ecosystem. What organisms produce oxygen as a waste product?

Plants (producers)

Biogeochemical Cycles 200Respiration is the process of using oxygen to

release energy from food. What is a waste product of this process?

Carbon dioxide

Biogeochemical Cycles 300

Clouds are formed in the water cycle. The process by which clouds are formed by water is called _______________.

Condensation

Biogeochemical Cycles 400
