hierarchy of a food chain
producers, consumers, secondary consumers, teritary consumers
cellular respiration
process of turning sugar into energy
process of cellular respiration
glucose+oxygen=carbon dioxide+water
limiting factors
things that control population
carrying capacity
the amount of species that can depend on resources
two types of ecosystems
aquatic and terrestrial
two types of lakes
oligtropic and eutrophic
oligotrophic
deep, cold, poor nutrients
eutrophic
warm, shallow, rich in nutrients
photosynthesis
the process where light energy is converted into chemical energy
photosynthesis process
carbon+water= glucose+oxygen
