Objective 3 Chemistry 10Th Grade

Front 1

Producers

Back 1

Absorb key substances fromthe environment and incorporate them into the molecules they produce.

Front 2

Photosynthesis

Back 2

Is a process where organic molecules (food) are produced. And is also responsible for adding oxygen to the atmosphere and for removing carbon dioxide.

Front 3

Chemosynthesis

Back 3

A process where organisms don't need sunlight to produce organic molecules. They use the energy stored in the chemical bonds of inorganic molecules to produce energy-rich organic compounds.

Front 4

Autotrophs

Back 4

Organisms that first capture energy from either sunlight or from inorganic molecules

Front 5

Heterotrophs

Back 5

Many Organisms, animals, fungi, and many bacteria can not harvest the energy in sunlight or in organic molecules. They must rely on other organisms for their energy and food. Heterotrophs and Consumers are one in the same.

Front 6

Consumers

Back 6

Many Organisms, animals, fungi, and many bacteria can not harvest the energy in sunlight or in organic molecules. They must rely on other organisms for their energy and food. Consumers and Hetertrophs are one in the same.

Front 7

Herbivores

Back 7

An organisms that eats only plants or other producers. Examples are Cows, caterpillars, and ducks

Front 8

Carnivores

Back 8

Organisms that eat animals. Examples are Tigers, owls, and snakes.

Front 9

Detrivores

Back 9

Organisms that obtain energy from dead bodies and organic wastes produced by all organisms. Examples are mites, earthworms, snails, crabs, fungi, and some bacteria.

Front 10

Decomposers

Back 10

The organisms are bacteria and fungi, they cause decay which release nutrients back into the environment and are used by other producers.

Front 11

Omnivores

Back 11

Eat both producers and consumers. Example, Some animals, such as bears and most humans.

Front 12

Trophic Level

Back 12

Where one organism eats another, energy is passes along. Example. Producer, herbivore, carnivore that east herbivores, tertiary consumer.

Front 13

Food Chain

Back 13

The path that engergy takes form one organism to another.

Front 14

Why do most food chains have only three or four levels?

Back 14

Because of the energy loss in each level. The more levels that exist in a food chain, the less energy reaches the top consumer.

Front 15

In any ecosystem how much energy is available from one trophic level to organisms in the next trophic level.

Back 15

Only about 10 percent.

Front 16

Biogeochemical cycles

Back 16

Carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus recycle through living organisms. The paths of these materials from the nonliving environemtn to the living organisms form circles or cycles.

Front 17

Evaporation

Back 17

The process by which water changes from a liquid to a gas.

Front 18

Precipitation

Back 18

The return of water to the surface of earth when rain, sleet, hail, or snow falls from the clouds.

Front 19

Transpiration

Back 19

After water passes through a plant, water moves into the atmosphere through the evaporation of water from the leaves of plants.

Front 20

Name the process by which carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere.

Back 20

Photoynthesis

Front 21

Name the 3 processes by which carbon dioxide is returned to the atmosphere.

Back 21

Respiration, Combustion, Erosion

Front 22

What is Nitrogen Fixation?

Back 22

the process by which gaseous nitrogen is converted into ammonia, a compound that organisms can use to make amino acids and other nitrogen-containing organic molecules.

Front 23

Why is Nitrogen Fixation so important?

Back 23

most organisms can not use nitrogen gas in the form it takes in the atmosphere. This process allows producers and conumers to make proteins.

Front 24

Symboisis

Back 24

a relationship in which two different organisms live in close association with each other. Parasitism.

Front 25

Define Mutalism

Back 25

A relationship between two species in which both benefit.

Front 26

Example of Mutalism

Back 26

Relationship between plants and their insect pollinators. The plant's flowers provide the insect pollinators with food or other substances, and the insects help the plant reproduce by transferring pollen to other flowers.

Front 27

Commensalism

Back 27

a relationsship in which one species benefits and the other is neither harmed nor helped.

Front 28

Example of Commensalism

Back 28

A clown fish can live among the sea anemone and the stings do not affect the fish which would paralize other fish. Living among the tentacles protects the clown fish from its predators. The sea anemone is not affected by the clown fish - it doesn't benefit and it isn't harmed.

Front 29

Explain the following:
Clown fish and sea Anemone
(Relationship)

Back 29

The relationship is Commensalism.
A clown fish can live among the sea anemone and the stings do not affect the fish which would paralize other fish. Living among the tentacles protects the clown fish from its predators. The sea anemone is not affected by the clown fish - it doesn't benefit and it isn't harmed.

Front 30

Explain the following:
Epiphytes and Trees
(Relationship)

Back 30

Commensalism Relationship. Epiphytes - plants that grow on other plants. Som orchid species grow high int he limbs of tropical forest trees. The trees provide the orchids with support and allow them to capure more sunlight thatn theyw ould if they lived on the ground. The trees do not benefit fro the orchids, but the orchids don't harm the trees either.

Front 31

Competition

Back 31

the relationship between species that attempt to use the same limited resources.

Front 32

Niche

Back 32

the position (way of life) of a species in an ecosystem, in terms of the physical characteristics (size, location, temperature, pH, etc.) of the area where it lives and its function in the biological community.

Front 33

Food Web

Back 33

a diagram that shows the feeding relationships between organisms in an ecosystem.

Front 34

_______________ make up the first trophic level.

Back 34

Producers

Front 35

Back 35

Organic matter that can be a source of energy; the total mass of the organisms in a given area.
