FINAL EXAM PP III – ecology A=abiota B=biota • Tree • B • Rock • A • Water • A • Air • A (nonliving) • Bird • B • human • B (living) Matching: • Large area with similar climate, soil, and plants and animals • The Planet of living and nonliving things • All the organisms in a particular place + their nonliving environment • ECOSYSTEM • BIOSPHERE BIOME Matching: • Large area with similar climate, soil, and plants and animals • The Planet of living and nonliving things • All the organisms in a particular place + their nonliving environment • BIOME • BIOSPHERE • ECOSYSTEM What is the difference between photosynthesis and chemosynthesis? (answer below) • PHOTOSYNTHESIS• organisms capture sunlight to make food • CHEMOSYNTHESIS• organisms use chemical energy (like sulfur) to make food How do these relate? • Autotrophs Consumers Heterotrophs Producers • ANSWER: Autotrophs and Producers are plants that make food • Heterotrophs are consumers that eat the producers What would each of these eat? • Carnivore • Eat animals • Herbivore • Eat plants • Omnivore • Eat animals + plants • Decomposer • Break down and eat dead organic matter • Feed on plant and animal remains called detritus • Detritivore How much energy is… • Usually passed to the next energy level in an energy pyramid? • A. 5% • B. 10% • C. 35% • D. 90% • ANSWER: 10% What contributes CO2 to the atmosphere? • • • • • Detergents Auto exhausts Fertilizers Factories Ozone • ANSWER: auto exhausts + factories Which is a food chain and which is a food web? WHAT AM I? Which is a food chain and which is a food web? WHAT AM I? Producers? Primary, Secondary, Tertiary Consumers? What converts unusable nitrogen into usable nitrogen? • • • • A. worms B. fungi C. nitrogen-fixing bacteria D. nitrogen-fixing birds • ANSWER: C Where is most of the phosphorus kept in the biosphere? • • • • A. rocks B. atmosphere C. bird poop D. Larry’s house • ANSWER: A What causes an algal bloom? • • • • A. large amounts of phosphorus runoff B. large amounts of carbon runoff C. large amounts of nitrogen runoff D. small amounts of mineral runoff • ANSWER: A What chemical form is carbon usually found in rocks? In the atmosphere? • • • • A. CO2 B. carbonate C. CO D. nitrates • ANSWER: in rocks is carbonate • in atmosphere is CO2 What are the three most abundant greenhouse gases? • • • • • A. water vapor B. nitrogen oxide C. carbon dioxide D. methane E. phosphates • ANSWERL A, C, D What criteria determine a terrestrial biome? • • • • • Type of fish Climate Type of soil Plants and animals Type of people • ANSWER: climate, soil, plants and animals What is a wetland? • • • • A. lake B. stream C. marsh D. ocean • ANSWER: marsh (water covers the land part of the time) WHICH BIOME? • Hot and wet year round • Ferns, large woody vines and climbing plants, orchids • Sloths, tapirs, jaguars, monkeys, toucans, butterflies • S. and central Am., SE Asia • ANSWER: Tropical rainforest WHICH BIOME? • Humus soil • Cold to moderate winters, warm summers, fertile soils • Deciduous trees, some conifers • Deer, black bears, squirrels, raccoons, turkeys, songbirds • ANSWER: Temperate Deciduous Forest In a food chain, what organisms are usually the decomposers? • • • • A. birds B. snakes C. plants D. bacteria and fungi • ANSWER: D MATCH • Parasitism • Both organisms benefit • Commensalism • One organism benefits and the other is not harmed • Mutualism • Organism lives in or on another and harms it MATCH • Parasitism • Commensalism • Mutualism • Organism lives in or on another and harms it • One organism benefits and the other is not harmed • Both organisms benefit In a food pyramid… • Which organisms are in the greatest amount and why? • ANSWER: plants (producers), need to feed all the other organisms Identify • Primary species? • Climax species? • Primary or Secondary succession? • • • • ANSWER: Lichen,mosses Fir, birch Primary (no soil) What goes in each level of energy pyramid? What goes in each level of energy pyramid? Tertiary consumer Secondary consumer Primary consumer Producer The total amount of living tissue in a given tropic level would be: • • • • A. biomass B. biome C. biotic D. biology • ANSWER: biomass Identify as Predator/Prey or Competition • Lynx chases the hare • Pred/Prey • Two robins vie for same sunflower seeds • Competition • Lion and tiger both eat antelope • Competition and Pred/Prey Coniferous or Deciduous? • • • • • • • • Pine Tree Coniferous Oak Tree Deciduous Cherry Tree Deciduous Blue Spruce Coniferous Coniferous = needles, evergreen Deciduous = sheds leaves annually Boom or bust? Exponential growth? Logistic growth? • Exponential growth • Logistic growth Type of graph? This diagram illustrates what process? • • • • Carrying capacity Logistic growth Limiting factor Biological magnification ANSWER: Biological magnification (vol. of chemical increases as you go up the food chain)
