Front 15

15.
4th level of organization
( Ecosystem)

Back 15

16.
populations of plants and animals that interact with each other in a given area with the abiotic components of that area.

Front 16

16.
5th level of organization
( biosphere)

Back 16

16.
the portion of earth that supports life in air, on land, and in fresh and salt water.

Front 17

1. How is energy flow through an ecosystem shown ? (arranged)

Back 17

1.
in food chains
in food webs
in energy pyramids
( know how to illustrate each of these)

Front 18

2. How does energy transfer begin?

Back 18

2.
with the sun in a process called photosynthesis

Front 19

3.
What is photosynthesis?

Back 19

3.
a chemical reaction where green plants use water and carbon dioxide to store the sun's energy in glucose( sugar)

Front 20

4.
Energy in photosynthesis is stored in...

Back 20

4.
glucose

Front 21

5.
Glucose is stored as starch in....

Back 21

5.
plants

Front 22

6.
What are organisms that can mske glucose during photosynthesis called?

Back 22

6.
producers

Front 23

7.
Who uses most of the energy they make for themselves?

Back 23

7.
producers

Front 24

8.
What is cellular respiration?

Back 24

8.
the chemical reaction that releases energy in glucose.

Front 25

9.
producers use cellular respiration to...

Back 25

9.
supply the energy they need to live

Front 26

10.
Some energy is not used up by producers. Where does this energy go?

Back 26

10.
to organisms that cannot make their own energy.

Front 27

11.
A consumer is.....
( think of yourself at Shop-rite)

Back 27

an organism that cannot make its own energy..
(They need food)

Front 28

12.
When a consumer eats a producer to get energy they are called 1st order or....

Back 28

12.
primary consumers (herbivores who eat plants)

Front 29

13.
An herbivore is a first order consumer who eats....
( think vegetarian)

Back 29

13.
PLANTS
( think Herbs)

Front 30

14.
Since most, but not all of the
energy the herbivore( 1st consumer) gets from the producer is used, where does the rest go?

Back 30

14.
some goes into atmosphere as heat.
some is stored and available for another consumer.

Front 31

15.
unused energy from ist order consumer is available for who?,

Back 31

15.
the second order consumer

Front 32

16.
Who can be a second order consumer?
