Used to contain either solid or liquid chemicals
Beaker
Decomposer

If new predators are introduced in an area, causing the population of prey to decrease, which of the following must occur in order for the population to stabilize?
C. The reproductive rate of the prey must increase.
Which of these models would most closely resemble the angle of light from the sun during the winter?

Certain types of birds, egrets, I follow cattle around and Fields. The cattle start at various types of insects for the egrets to eat. The cattle are unaffected by the presence of the egrets. What type of relationship does this represent?
Commenalism
On our school grounds, we explored three micro habitats, the courtyard, the playground, and the wilderness area across the street. Describe one abiotic (non- living) factor in each microhabitat that makes it unique, and give an adaptation that would help a plant survive there. for full credit you must explain why the adaptation allows the plant to survive
Courtyard - there is a lot of shade there. Big leaves on plants. Playground - there is a lot of sunlight on the playground, waxy leaves to hold moisture. Wilderness area - there is rocky soil, they would need deep growing roots to reach the soil.
What stage would include pioneer species?
D. Algae and lichens
Which of the following are missing from the food web shown above?
Decomposers
Air pressure _____________as elevation increases.
Decreases
The temperature at which water begins to condense is
Dew point
Omnivore
Eats many things, including both plants and meat.
Algae and fungi sometimes live symbiotically on rocks or other surfaces. The algae provides food from photosynthesis, and the fungi provides water, protection and a place to attach. what type of relationship does this represent?
Mutualism
Low Pressure
Skies are overcast
What is the purpose of plant and animal adaptations?
So organisms can survive in the unique challenges of their habitat
Which of the following lists only organisms that are higher consumers in this food web?
Spiders, foxes, owis, hawks, and snakes
Wind Vane
Wind direction
Anemometer
Wind speed
Psychrometer
`Humidity
The following natural events will cause primary succession to occur:
tsunamis and tornadoes
Commensalism
A relationship in which one organism benefits and the other is unaffected.
Primary Producer
Absorb sunlight and make food by photosynthesis.
Warm Front
'Gently rainy
Competition
A relationship in which both organisms want the same, limited resource.
Mutualism
A relationship in which both organisms benefit.

Metric ruler
When a rapidly moving cold air mass overtakes a slow-moving warm mass, result is
Occluded front
Barnacles and corals are two types of animals that live in the ocean. Both animals build a hard layer of calcium around their soft body parts. What is more likely reason that they build these layers?
Protect them from predators
7. How is heat transferred from the sun to the Earth?
Radiation
Which biome has the largest number of different species
Rainforest
Choose two biomes studied this unit and compare and contrast those biomes in terms of the four main factors that determine climate. Be sure to include all four factors in your discussion to receive full credit.
Rainforest- one temperature - lots of precipitation. Altitude Dash C level - temperatures warm. Latitude - near equator which makes temperature warm. Closeness to Ocean - kind of close to bring moistures. mountain barriers - none. Desert - hot temperatures - very dry. Altitude - sea level - temperatures warm. Latitude Dash close to the equator makes temperature hot. Closeness to ocean - hot clothes - limits precipitation. Mountain barriers - some barriers - block precipitation.
Used to cut specimens or hard objects
Scalpel
Thermometer
Temperature
Used to contain small amounts of solid or liquid observe reactions
Test tube
Which of the following is the best explanation for the reason that temperatures are higher in the summer?
The tilt of the earth causes the sun's rays to hit the surface of the earth more directly in the summer
Used to measure the mass of an object
Thermometer
Sunlight
Ultimate source of all energy.
What characteristic would help an organism survive in an environment where light is very scarce?
Very wide leaves
Occluded Front
Violent Thunderstorms
6. The forward edge of a warm air mass is a
Warm front
