A

Yes human male compete

  • women invest more energy in a child

Degree of benefit not equal

Few are pure

Ex. Plant and pollinators
Coral and dinoflagellates

139
Q

Dinoflagellates leave coral what is it called

A

Coral bleaching which is due to temperature increase of water

140
Q

A
Producers 
Primary consumer 
Secondary consumer
Tertiary consumer 
Decomposers
141
Q

A

Energy flows through a system (but is lost) about 10%

Chemicals cycle through a system

142
Q

Ecological pyramid: what is represented in each box

A

Amount of energy in an organism (if eaten not all energy is consumed)

Bottom of pyramid means more abundant organisms and at the top there are less

143
Q

Biogeochemical cycling

A

Water and carbon cycles

144
Q

What is a reservoir

A

Long term storage (aquafers)

Fossil fuel
Mineral in rock
Sediment in ocean

145
Q

Exchange pool is what

A

Where you get quickly stored resources and exchange for that

Atmosphere
Soil
Water

146
Q

Carbon cycle is what

A

Plant and algae take up inorganic carbon
Carbon incorporated into food
Cell respiration return carbon to atmosphere

Atmosphere is the exchange pool

147
Q

Co2 iin atmosphere is dissolved in water

A

It is exchange pool

148
Q

What put carbon in exchange pool

A

Decay and respiration put it in
Photosynthesis takes it out

Human: combustion and deforestation put more co2 in atmosphere

149
Q

Carbon cycle aquatic

A

Co2 exchange is indirect

Some is free in water
Co2 from air comes into contact with water and for bicorbinate. Ions

PH of ocean go down (acidification)
