what type of organisms secrete enzymes to to break down dead organisms?

what connects all trophic levels?

what is the amount of light energy converted to chemical energy by autotrophs during a given time period?

the extent of __________ production sets the spending limit for the energy budget of the entire ecosystem

amount of solar radiation reaching the surface of the earth - limits photosynthetic output of ecosystems

amount of light converted to chemical energy before photosynthesis... like income before taxes

GPP (gross primary production - everything) not including the energy used by primary producers for cellular respiration

NPP + R = ___

GPP - R = ___

what is R in the equations GPP - R = NPP and NPP = GPP + R

what type of ecosystem is 2/3 of of the global NPP?

why is nitrogen a nutrient that limits marine production? because it is necessary to make a______ a_______ and n_____ a_____

why is nitrogen a nutrient that limits marine production? it is necessary for many ________ processes

phosphorus makes up the....

what type of lake... lots of oxygen, not many nutrients

what type of lake... little oxygen but lots of nutrients

the amount of water annually transpired by plants and evaporated from a landscape

___________ ___________ of an organisms is the fraction of energy stored in food that is NOT used for respiration

the percent of production transferred from one trophic level to the next

trophic efficiency we will always use in this class

why is being vegetarian good? it's more e_______

why is being vegetarian good? less of a c_____ f_________

factor to keep herbivores in check: plants have natural ________

factor to keep herbivores in check: n_______ limit herbivores

factor to keep herbivores in check: a________ factors

factor to keep herbivores in check: p_________

factor to keep herbivores in check: intraspecific ___________

factor to keep herbivores in check: interspecific ___________

nitrogen, carbon, and water cycle all cycle...

which cycle does not cycle globally?

nitrogen cycle: Conversion of nitrogen gas (N2) into nitrate (N03-) (bacteria responsible for this)

nitrogen cycle: When plants and animals excrete waste or die, bacteria convert nitrogen into ammonia

nitrogen cycle: conversion of ammonia to nitrate

nitrogen cycle: bacteria convert ammonia, nitrite and nitrates back into nitrogen gas, nitrogen gas back to atmosphere

why the up and down of CO2 in the graph that fargo showed us in class? (winter at the top, summer at the bottom) (this is because plants are not doing as much photosynthesis in the winter)

what is the water cycle driven by?

practice drawing the water cycle

practice drawing the carbon cycle

what is also kind of involved in the nitrogen cycle? (idrk how but fargo always talks about it)

phosphorus is not a global cycle because there is no phosphorus in the a__________

phosphorus could be a long term cycle because rocks w_________ which slowly adds phosphorus to the s____

nutrient cycling is strongly regulated by ___________

what type of wind controls where the most acid rain is?

What part of the US is most affected by acid precipitation?

what is it called when toxins concentrate at higher trophic levels because at these levels biomass tends to be lower

toxins are not fat soluble, which means they can't be b_______ d______ in an organism

The warming of planet Earth due to the atmospheric accumulation of carbon dioxide, which absorbs infrared radiation and slows its escape from the irradiated Earth.

is the greenhouse effect bad?

is global warming bad?

the ozone layer is t________

what do nucleic acids make up?

what do amino acids make up?

6O2 and C6H12O6 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP

6CO2 + 6H2O→ 6O2 and C6H12O6

The act of discharging undigested or waste material from a cell or organism

Eutrophication caused by humans (sewage) or addition of fertilizer

A process by which nutrients particularly phosphorus and nitrogen become highly concentrated in a body of water leading increased growth of organisms such as algae

main cause of acid rain: c_________ of ________ _________

H2CO3 makes oceans more _________
