Quarter 1 Bio Assessment

how'd u calculate how much energy is lost at each trophic level

-10% strategy -10% of energy is lost in between each level example: producers=3000 kcal consumers=300

what conclusions can u make abt hunting solo vs in a group for large predators like lions

Hunting for large predators should be done in a group to get more energy and it's easier

Where does nitrogen come from?

atmosphere and soil

how did u figure out the lions cub parentage

compared the cubs and possible mothers genotypes to see which genotypes match up

how do u figure out which prey would provide the optimal amount of energy for each lion

figure out energy cost per prey (kcal), and use energy available to compare which animal is worth hunting

how'd u figure out what features allowed herbivores and carnivores to consume their diet

have specific digestive tracks specifically for their diets

how does herbivores,omni,carnivores connect to lulu lioness and life as a hunter

herbivores and omnivores eat plants so they have long digestive track, while carnivores have short digestive track bc they eat meat

y did u place the trophic levels where u did

organisms are placed on trophic levels based on what they eat, shows feeding relationships

what's nitrogen fixation

process where plants absorb nitrogen from soil then animals eat the plants and when they die, the nitrogen is returned to the soil

how does lulu lioness connect with life as a hunter

there's many roles in a pact, one women lion raised her cubs while male and other women went out to hunt

how is nitrogen reused/recycled

thru nitrogen fixation
