Ecology Review Game! Chapters 34, 35, 36, 38 What biome is represented in the picture? Tundra What is a feature of the tundra (the soil thaws out for part of the year)? Permafrost A group of organisms of the same species in one area is called Population A human eating a plant would be considered… Primary Consumer What primarily causes the loss of the ozone layer? CFCs What is the original source of energy for all trophic levels? The Sun What marks the end of an ecological sucession? Climax Community (Hardwood trees) About how much energy is passed from one trophic level to the next? 10% What biome is hot and cold, and very dry? The desert What relationship would this be? An owl uses a tree for shelter and the tree is unaffected. Commensalism (One organism is helped, but the other is not affected.) When toxins are magnified from one trophic level to the next, it is called… Bioaccumulation It’s time to play… NAME THAT BIOME! This biome depends on seasonal fires to survive! Chaparral Which biome provides rich farming land for our Midwest states? Temperate Grassland A coniferous forest is also called… Taiga Characterized by evergreen trees Found in Alaska and Canada for example This forest boasts a large biodiversity, but poor topsoil! Tropical Forest What is the only biome that is NOT in the United States? Savanna It is only slightly more rainy than the desert. It is characterized with grasses and few small trees True or False: Sucession is a natural ecological progression of living and non-living things. False. It is a progression of just the living things (producers) Time to play a lightning round!! Your answers will be Density Dependent or Density Independent Bamboo for a panda bear Density dependent Mount St. Helens erupting and killing the surrounding forest. Density Independent A lion chasing a zebra Density Dependent Hurricane Katrina Density Independent The black plague spreads through Europe killing many people Density Dependent What is a pioneer species? Species that first occupy an area after a natural disaster. If a person brings home an exotic pet and lets it go, what will be the impact on the environment? Loss of native species In a food web, a tertiary consumer is most likely to be… A top predator Carnivore If there are UNLIMITED resources for a clan of meerkats, what will happen to their population size? It will grow exponentially Bonus Question: What will the shape of this graph look like? J curve True or False: A mushroom (decomposer) is also a producer. False. Decomposers are not producers in food webs Primary or Secondary Sucession? All topsoil is removed from the ground in the path of a tornado. Primary Organisms are organized! Name the terms that biologist use to describe the levels of organization. Atom, molecule, cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism, population, community, ecosystem, biosphere Name this relationship. A tapeworm lives in your stomach and robs you of nutrients. Parasitism Name this relationship. A snake intrudes on a hole that a tortoise dug out. The tortoise is left out in the cold! Competition Name this relationship. A bird nests in a tree and eats beetles that can damage the tree. Mutualism True or False: There is a limited amount of resources available to living things in an ecosystem. True Final Question • Place your bets. • It can be some, all, or none of your points! What TWO things will define a biome? (HINT—remember the graph in class. What was on the x and y axis?) • Temperature • Rainfall
