Q

What’s the definition of abiotic matter?

A

matter that makes up the nonliving parts of an ecosystem, such as air, water, and rocks

26
Q

What are primary consumers?

A

only eat producers

27
Q

What are secondary consumers?

A

must-eat primary consumers but, can eat producers

28
Q

What are tertiary consumers?

A

must eat secondary consumers and/or tertiary consumers, can also eat producers + primary consumers

29
Q

What’s the definition of glucose?

A

an ESM made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms

30
Q

What’s the definition of carbon dioxide?

A

a molecule made of carbon and oxygen atoms

31
Q

How can polluted water prevent underwater plants from performing photosynthesis?

A

With polluted water, underwater plants would be unable to receive as much sunlight, decreasing photosynthesis

32
Q

What’s the definition of fat?

A

an ESM made up of fatty acids

33
Q

What’s the definition of photosynthesis?

A

the process by which producers use energy from sunlight to change carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose

34
Q

Where is carbon found in an ecosystem?

A

In abiotic and biotic matter

35
Q

What is the definition of energy?

A

The ability to make things move or change

36
Q

What is the definition of biotic matter?

A

matter that makes up the living and dead organisms of an ecosystem

37
Q

What’s the definition of producers?

A

an organism that can make its ESM

38
Q

What are reactants? What are products?

A

Rectants - something that is used in a chemical reaction/process
Products - the result of completing a chemical reaction/process

39
Q

What is the definition of a chloroplast?

A

organelle where photosynthesis happens

40
Q

The amount of life that can exist in an ecosystem depends on what?

A

The amount of sunlight they recieve

41
Q

What is unique about glucose by comparison to other ESMs?

A

It can make other ESMs

42
Q

What is glycogen and how is it different from starch?

A

Glycogen is an ESM and Isnt made by producers (consumers & decomposers) and can’t be used for a long time

43
Q

What atoms are all esms made of?

A

Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen

44
Q

Name two things that the esm fat is used for.

A
  1. Long term energy storage (emergency storage) 2. Important in cell membrane
45
Q

What is a decomposer’s purpose? Why is it crucial to the success of an ecosystem?

A

Decomposers break down dead matter and put nutrients into the ecosystem adn then release CO2. It’s crucial because producers need CO2 for doing photosynthesis. They also make nitrogen available to the ecosystem which is essential for plant growth

46
Q

How do decomposers get esms?

A

When breaking down dead matter

47
Q

What element (other than carbon) is a crucial nutrient for plant growth and is released by decomposing dead matter?

A

nitrogen

48
Q

What is the definition of cellular respiration?

A

the chemical reactions between oxygen and glucose that release energy into the cells

49
Q

In a closed ecosystem if carbon _____________ in one part of the system, then it must _____________ somewhere else.

A

Decreases, increase

50
Q

What is the definition of fossil fuels?

A

made up of carbon-rich matter from dead matter

51
Q

What do fossil fuels release when burned?

A

carbon

52
Q

Earth is a ________________ ecosystem

A

enclosed

53
Q

Fossil fuels are what type of matter?

A

biotic

54
Q

How many atoms of carbon are required in the inputs of photosynthesis?

A

6

55
Q

How many atoms of hydrogen are in the reactants of cellular respiration?

A

12

56
Q

What organisms make starch?

A

Producers

57
Q

What organisms make fat?

A

ALL of them (Producers, consumers, and decomposers)

58
Q

What organisms make glycogen?

A

Consumers and decomposers

59
Q

What is the Kreb’s Cycle also known as?

A

Citric Acid Cycle

60
Q

Which comes first, the light independent or dependent reaction?

A

The light dependent reaction
