1: What is biodiversity? What 4 elements make up 99% of all species?
100 million of different species. These species are made up with different elements. Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and nitrogen make up 99% of all species.
2: What is photosynthesis?
Energy from sunlight that is used to bond six seperate carbon atoms into a single-rich, six carbon molecule (sugar glucose).
3: Describe the flow of energy through systems. What is the main storage molecule of energy
in animals?
Energy is degraded (transformed into a less useful form.
4: What is chemosynthesis? What source of energy is used instead of sunlight?
To use chemicals to prodice energy. Hydrogen sulfied.
5: What is primary productivity a measure of?
Measured in grams of carbon bound into carbonhydrates.
6: Looking at the map of productivity around the world- Discuss what you see:
The coast is going to m=have more nutrients.
Why is productivity higher near the coasts of continents than in the open oceans? Why is productivity higher near the poles?
Both=Upwelling brings nutrients to the plants.
Define the following:
Autotrophs: Organisms that make their own foods, also called producers.
Heterotrophs: Organisms that must consume other organisms for energy.
Trophic pyramid: a model that describes who eat whom.
Primary consumers: These organisms eat producers.
Secondary Consumers: These organisms eat primary consumers.
Top consumers: The top of the tropic pyramid.
7: In a food web, what do the arrows represent?
Arrows represent the flow of energy to other creatures.
8: What are some atoms and molecules that cycle in biogeochemical cycles?
9: Diagram the Carbon Cycle in the Ocean:
10: Diagram the Nitrogen Cycle in the Ocean:
11: Diagram the Phosphorus Cycle:
12: What is a limiting factor in ecosystems?
Harmful factors in quantites either too much or too little.
13: What are the most important physical factors for marine organisms?
Light, dissolved gases, temperature, acid-based balance, salinity, hydrostic.
14: What are some biologic factors that affect ocean organisms?
Feeding relationships, crowding, metabiolic wastes, defense of territory.
15: Define the following zones:
Euphotic: Most biological productivity of the ocean.
Disphotic: This lies below the Euphotic zone.
Aphotic: Below the disphotic zone, sunlight never reaches this zone.
16: Define the following nutrient transports:
Diffusion: Mixing due to random molecule movements.
Osmosis: Diffusion of water through a membrane.
Active Transport: transport of a substance against a concentration gradient.
18: What are the major zones of the ocean?
Hadal, abyssal, Bathyal, continental.
19: What is natural selection?
Enviromental factors, individuals, evolution, favored-reproduces, unfacored-dies.
20: Who was Carolus Linnaeus? What did he do?
A scientist that was the 1st one to discover natural callification.
21: What is taxonomy?
Callis
22: What are the 6 kingdoms and how are they further divided?
100 million of different species. These species are made up with different elements. Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and nitrogen make up 99% of all species.
