5 Climate and Ecology Unit 1. What is the Greenhouse effect? Gases in the atmosphere trap the heat from the sun and warm up the Earth 2. Define weather and climate. Weather is the daily outside conditions in an area Climate is the daily conditions averaged over a large amount of time (many years) 3. How does the Earth s tilt and its revolutions around the sun affect weather? The tilt of the Earth causes uneven heating of the Earth s surface. As the Earth revolves around the Sun different parts point at the Sun. When part of the Earth is tilted towards the Sun it is summer in that part of the Earth. 4. What is the difference between an equinox and a solstice? An equinox is the time of the year when the Earth is tilted in such a way that the day and night is the same length. A solstice is when the Earth is at its maximum tilt so either day or night is its longest. 5. How is the Earth tilted for the Summer Solstice? Winter Solstice? Summer solstice has the Earth tilted towards the sun. Longest day Winter solstice has the Earth tilted away from the sun. Shortest day 6. What does abiotic and biotic mean? (Give 3 examples of each) Abiotic refers to the nonliving parts of the environment Biotic refers to the living parts of the environment 7. What is biodiversity? Why is it beneficial to have a very diverse ecosystem? Biodiversity is a measurement of the number of different organisms in an ecosystem. A diverse ecosystem is more robust and can bounce back from any sort of difficulties or catastrophes. 8. Where does all the energy of an ecosystem come from? All energy originates from the sun 9. What is Photosynthesis? What organisms use it? Photosynthesis is the process by which plants (and some organisms) convert sunlight into sugars. Organisms then use it to support their growth and lives. 10. How much energy can move onto the next organism of a food chain? Where does most of the lost energy go? Only 10% of the energy an organism takes in can move on to the next organism in a food chain. Most of the energy is lost as heat. 11. What is trophic level? What does a high number on the trophic level mean? Trophic level is a statement as to where an organism is in a food chain. It refers to the feeding level. A high number means a higher position in the food chain.

6 12. What does a pyramid of numbers measure? A pyramid of numbers measures the number of organisms at each trophic level 13. What does Biomass measure? Biomass measures the amount of dry material that makes up the organisms at a trophic level 14. A food chain shows the path energy takes in an ecosystem. What do the arrows in the food chain indicate? Arrows in a food chain point the direction that the energy flows 15. What is an Autotroph? An autotroph is an organism that makes its own food 16. What is a heterotroph? A heterotrophy is an organism that eats other organisms 17. How is a food web different from a food chain? A food chain shows only one path for energy in an ecosystem, a food web shows all of the paths 18. What are the four factors that determine the size of a population? Births is the birthrate Deaths is the death rate Immigration is the amount of organisms that move into an area Emigration is the amount of organisms moving out of an area 19. What is the difference between an open and closed population? An open population allows organisms to move in and out of an area. A closed population does not allow this. 20. What is the carrying capacity of an environment? This is the amount of an organism that an environment can support. 21. What happens to a population that surpasses its carrying capacity? When a population surpasses its CC its numbers will begin to crash 22. What are some factors that limit a population s size? Density Dependant - Availability of food, water, shelter, and space; competition for resources, predation, parasitism, and disease. Density Independent Unusual Weather, Natural Disasters, and Human Activity 23. What is Bioaccululation? The accumulation of chemicals in a organisms body 24. What is Biomagnification? The increase in concentration of a chemical/poison as you climb a food chain 25. Species become endangered for 5 main reasons. What are they (HIPPO)? Habitat Destruction, Invasive Species, Population Pressures, Pollution, Overharvesting

7 26. What are the five levels of at risk that we use to classify a species? Extinct, Extirpated, Endangered, Threatened, At Risk 27. In the carbon cycle photosynthesis has a similar but opposite process, what is it Cellular respiration converts sugars into energy for an organism to use. 28. Define Herbivore, Carnivore, Omnivore, and Detritivore. Herbivore Eats plants, Carnivore Eats Meat, Omnivore Eats both, Detritivore Eats decomposing matter 29. What is the difference between Habitat and niche? Habitat is where something lives. All the biotic and abiotic factors in the area where the organism lives. Niche is how something lives. All the physical, chemical, and biological factors that a species needs to survive. 30. How does competition change a population? Competition occurs when two organisms fight for the same resources. The results are: Niche Partitioning the species divide the resources by splitting the habitat. Evolutionary response to avoid dying out one of the species changes to specialize for a different resource 31. What are the three difference forms of Symbiosis? Mutualism Both organisms benefit from working together Commensalism One of the organisms benefits while the other receives nothing from the relationship but is not harmed. Parasitism One of the organisms feeds off of the other, but keeps the prey organism alive for a long time. 32. What bare the three types of survivorship curve, and what do they mean? A survivorship curve shows the number of surviving members of a species over time from a set of births. Type I Low infant mortality and a high survivorship rate Type II Survivorship rate that is the same at all ages Type III High infant mortality.
