41
Q

List the names of a 5 level food chain.

A 
Primary Producer
Primary Consumer
Secondary Consumer
Tertiary Consumer
Decomposer
42
Q

In one sentence, describe what happens during the light-dependent reactions.

A

The goal of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis is to collect energy from the sun and break down water molecules to produce ATP.

43
Q

Discuss why photosynthesis and cellular respiration can be described as a cycle.

A

The products of one process are used as the reactants for the other. Photosynthesis produces carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water, incorporating light energy into the bonds of the carbohydrates. Cellular respiration, on the other hand, releases energy from the bonds of carbohydrates, producing carbon dioxide and water.

44
Q

Why is matter not lost as it passes through an ecosystem?

A

It’s recycled instead.

45
Q

What is a biogeochemical cycle?

A

Chemical elements and water that are needed by organisms continuously recycle in ecosystems that pass through biotic and abiotic components of the biosphere.

46
Q

What is a reservoir? Give an example.

A

A storage site.
