Energy and Matter

Arrows in a food chain show the flow of __________________.

Food Chain

____________ describes who eats whom. Starts with a producer, then proceeds w/ the levels of consumers (primary, secondary, tertiary).

Consumers

_____________ rely on other organisms for energy..

Food Webs

_____________ show us how different living things in an ecosystem are related through the food they eat .

A predator is an organism that eats another organism; the prey is the organism the predator eats.

Describe the predator prey relationship.

Decomposers like fungi and bacteria

What Breaks down Dead Organisms, this process eventually restores some materials back to soil.

Secondary Consumers

Biomass Pyramid

_________________ an ecological pyramid that shows the amount of matter contained in the organisms at each trophic level.

Genotype

____________are responsible for traits that are not directly observable, and directly inherites from parents.

____________________ are carnivores that eat herbivores

Tertiary Consumers

__________________ are carnivores that eat other carnivores .

populations

_____________ gets smaller as you move up each trophic level.

Apex Predators

_______________ are at the top of the food chain, and need to eat a lot because they only get 0.1% of original energy.

10%

As you move up each trophic level, only _____ of the energy is actually retained.

Plants

_______use sunlight to make organic compounds (sugars), which provide energy for their metabolic processes.

Animals

_________ get their energy and mass from food they ingest/absorb.

Consumers

___________ are directly or indirectly dependant on the photosynthetic output of producers.

Producers

_____________ organisms such as plants and algae that produce energy through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis.

Marine

____________ is the largest biome covering 3/4ths of the earths surface (oceans, coral reefs, and estuaries

Freshwater

__________ biome charecteristics include low salt content and includes lakes, ponds, streams, rivers, and some wetlands).

Forest

5E Model

________________ is a teaching method containing 5 parts, each of the work together to make learning active, fun, and effective.

RNA

____ is single stranded and has a Uracil base (U), it is also a messenger for protein synthesis, and a structural component of ribosomes (tRNA).

Gene

_______ refers to the segments of DNA, which determines a specific characteristic or trait of an organism (can be a few bases or thousands of base pairs long).

Central Dogma for protein synthesis

_________________________________ is the process of converting the infor stored in DNA into proteins (DNA replication, transcription, translation)

Holistic

_________ rubrics provide one overall score for the assignment rather than evaluating each criterion seperately .

Analytic

_______ rubrics are a type of assessment rubric in which component categories are broken down.

Generalizations about the new learning is applied to previous investigastions and new hypotheses are tested to draw conclusions
