Science unit 1 Flashcards
Is made up of individual components that work together to perform a particular function or behaviour
System
Is the interaction between multiple components in a system that allow for the opportunity to make greater discoveries
Synergy
What are the characteristics of all systems
- Component parts (Resevoires or storage)
- Process (flow or transformation)
- Negative feeback mechanisms that maintain an equilibrium
- They have behaviours
- the are unpredictable
A system in which both matter and energy are exchanged across boundaries of the system
Open system
Energy is exchanged betweeen sources but matter is not, ex) plant
Closed system
Neither energy or matter can escape the boundaries of the system
Isolated system
One form of system that involves in a change in location
Transfers
One form of system that involves in the formation of a new end product as a result of the changing state of matter
Transformations
Living thing
Organism
Is a group of an organism with 99.9% of the same DNA with the ability to reproduce
Species
Group of some species in one area
Population
Is a group of different populations that live together
Community
Includes all organisms as well as the climate (soil, water, rocks, weather, etc)
Ecosystem
Is a major region of a global community of organisms
Biome
Provides energy
Producers
This kind of factor represents living things
Biotic factors
This kind of factor represents non-living things
Abiotic factors
This type of system returns back to it’s original form after a disturbance
Stable system
This type of system has no long term change, is an open system, and is achieved through negative feeback mechanisms
Dynamic system
This type of system that does not change over time
Static system
This type of system moves to a new equilibrium or gradual change
Unstable system
Returns the system back to it’s normal state
Negative feeback mechanisms
Organisms that only consumes plants for energy
Herbivores
Organisms that consume both plants and meat for energy
Omnivores
Organisms that only consume meat for energy
Carnivores
Organisms that only consume dead organisms for energy
Detrivores
Organisms that only consume and breakdown waste for energy
Decomposers
Organisms that produce energy
Producers
Only [Blank]% of the energy consumed passes through to the next level in a food chain
10%
What are the levels of the Trophic levels
- Decomposers
- Deritivores
- Producers
- 1st Order Consumers
- 2nd Order Consumers
- 3rd Order Consumers
and so on
