3 All members of a population inhabit the same area and belong to the same _____.

4 What is species?

5 Populations initially follow this pattern of growth.

6 What is exponential growth?

7 Logistic growth reaches a “plateau” at a point called the _________.

8 What is carrying capacity?

9 Which of the following things can play a role in determining a population’s carrying capacity? Available water Amount of space Number of individuals Available food

10 What is water, space, and food?

11 A population of preying mantis on a completely isolated island has an r of 0, and a birth rate of .3 What could the population’s death rate be?

12 What is .3?

13 The difference between an ecosystem and a biological community is this.

14 An ecosystem includes abiotic elements.

15 Give an example of an abiotic factor.

16 May include: soil, water, sunlight, moisture, rocks, available carbon, available nitrogen, and others.

17 The term for an organism that manufactures glucose itself is this.

18 What is autotroph/ic?

19 Most of the energy in the biotic elements of an ecosystem ultimately came from this.

20 What is the sun?

21 DAILY DOUBLE! Both teams will have time to work on this question, you need not be the first raised hand to answer it. Choose up to 1000 points to wager. Your wager must be less than your current point total.

22 Name any three aspects of a Cape Cod squirrel’s niche.

23 May include: lives on Cape Cod, lives in forests, largely arboreal, stores nuts, eats nuts, eaten by cats, by hawks, nests in trees, competes with birds for nuts, etc.

24 This is the difference between a primary consumer and a higher order consumer.

25 A primary consumer eats producers, a higher order consumers eats other consumers.

26 Consumers are carnivores, omnivores, and detritivores
Consumers are carnivores, omnivores, and detritivores. Because they get their energy from other living things, they are called this.

27 What is heterotroph/s?

28 Name every producer in this food web.

29 What are clover, oats, and sunflowers?

30 DAILY DOUBLE! Both teams will have time to work on this question, you need not be the first raised hand to answer it. Choose up to 1000 points to wager. Your wager must be less than your current point total.

31 Organism X corresponds to krill
Organism X corresponds to krill. Which of the following organisms could be organism X? A mouse, an oak tree, a fox, a hawk

32 A mouse.

33 In this web, what percentage of the energy in sedge and grass is available to foxes and owls?

34 What is 1%?

35 Transpiration, condensation, and run-off are processes in which matter cycle?

36 What is the water cycle?

37 In the oxygen cycle, oxygen cycles between living things conducting these two processes: cellular respiration and ____________.

38 What is photosynthesis?

39 Which of the following environmental conditions makes water less available to plants for growth? A. Soil in the area is organically rich B. Ground cover is effective at slowing erosion C. High humidity lowers the rates of transpiration D. Cold temperatures freeze the water in and on the ground

40 What is D?

41 If many trees are removed from this system, what is an immediate effect on the carbon cycle here?

42 May include: fewer carbon compounds in the soil, decreased use of atmospheric CO2

43 DAILY DOUBLE! Both teams will have time to work on this question, you need not be the first raised hand to answer it. Choose up to 1000 points to wager. Your wager must be less than your current point total.

44 Which of the following explains why legume plants are less likely than other terrestrial plants to experience nitrogen limitation? A. Legume plants need less nitrogen than other plants do. B. Legume plants have nitrogen-fixing bacteria on their roots. C. Legume plants catch insects to supply themselves with nitrogen. D. Legume plans can absorb nitrogen directly from the atmosphere.

45 What is B?

46 Symbiosis encompasses these three relationships.

47 What are parasitism, commensalism, and mutualism?

48 Locusts feeding upon oat plants are an example of this relationship.

49 What is predation?

50 Onchocerca volvulus is a nematode that can live in a human body for up to 15 years. They feed upon subcutaneous tissue, and are a leading cause of blindness. The relationship is an example of this.

51 What is parasitism?

52 A cattle heron hitching a ride on a buffalo’s back is an example of this.

53 What is commensalism?

54 A bat eats a fruit from a rainforest tree
A bat eats a fruit from a rainforest tree. The seeds of the fruit pass through the bat’s reproductive tract in minutes, falling unharmed to the forest floor in the bat’s guano some distance away from the tree. The relationship is an example of this.

55 What is mutualism?
