Q

What are some of the major concerns regarding the Bayswater quality

A

Farms which is fertilizer can add a significant amount of nitrogen to the watershed as run off washes over the field into the tributaries. Extra nitrogen can lead to algae blooms and eutrophication or dead zones

Q

What are three characteristics for the taiga biome

A

Evergreen trees, is the largest land by am, and gold and somewhat dry

17
Q

What are three characteristics for the temperate deciduous forest

A

Four distinct seasons, trees go dormant in the winter, and one of the examples of Virginia

18
Q

What are three distinct characteristics for the marine by am

A

Cover 75% of the earth, high salinity,

19
Q

What are three distinct characteristics for the desert but I am

A

Hot and dry, animals, plants conserve water, and it’s cold at night

20
Q

What are three distinct characteristics for the tropical rain forest

A

Hot and wet, greatest righty of life, no grass, and trees grow tall for sun

21
Q

What is transpiration

A

Transpiration turns into condensation was just turns and precipitation which turns into of Apparation respiration comes from animals to condensation

22
Q

How does carbon dioxide move around the carbon cycle

A

Factories get out carbon dioxide, Treasa take carbon dioxide in and let oxygen out and animals take cart oxygen and turn it into carbon dioxide

23
Q

What is the role of bacteria in the nitrogen cycle

A

Bacteria sixes the nitrogen in the air and turns it into a usable form for plants

24
Q

How are products and reactants changed and exchange between plants and animals

A

A chloroplast go through photosynthesis because of the sun, from the chloroplast oxygen and glucose going to mitochondria, cellular respiration happens and water and carbon dioxide exit and go back into photosynthesis

25
What is the green chemical inside of chloroplasts
Chlorophyll
26
Which level of the food pier mid has the most energy
The bottom of the pyramid, the producers
27
What is the source of all energy on earth
The sun
28
How does the food pyramid in food chain work
Producers go to consumers which go to secondary consumers which go to tertiary consumers
29
What is an herbivore
Something that eats only plants
30
What is an omnivore
Something that eats both plants and animals
31
What is a carnivore
Something that eats only animals
32
What process provides all of the energy for this food web
Photosynthesis
33
What would you expect to happen to the mice population if the number of Eagles increased
Mice with decreased because there are now more predators
34
Which species benefit the most if there were no mice
The grasshopper because my so the only animal that eats them
35
What is the definition of symbiosis
The relationship between different species living with one another
36
What is mutualism
A relationship for both species benefit for example humans and dogs
37
What is commensalism
One benefits and the other is not affected for example Remora
38
What is parasitism
One benefits the other is harmed for example mosquitoes
39
They live in the Chesapeake Bay watershed what does this mean
Our water all ends up in the Chesapeake bay
