CIA 2: Cell Energy and Ecology Review

Front

What is the Calvin Cycle?

Back

The Calvin Cycle is the second stage of photosynthesis where carbon dioxide is converted into glucose using ATP and NADPH produced in the light-dependent reactions.

Front

What percentage of energy from producers is passed to herbivores in an energy pyramid?

Back

10% of the energy from producers is passed to herbivores.

Front

What is the order of plant growth after a volcanic eruption?

Back

Lichens → Grasses → Shrubs → Trees.

Front

What is a Tertiary Consumer?

Back

A Tertiary Consumer is an organism that eats secondary consumers in a food web, typically at the top of the food chain.

Front

What is a Food Web?

Back

A Food Web is a complex network of feeding relationships among various organisms in an ecosystem.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What are producers in an ecosystem?

Back

Producers are organisms that produce their own food, typically through photosynthesis, and form the base of the food chain.

Front

What is the role of herbivores in an ecosystem?

Back

Herbivores are primary consumers that eat plants and transfer energy from producers to higher trophic levels.

Front

What are abiotic factors?

Back

Abiotic factors are non-living chemical and physical parts of the environment that affect living organisms and the functioning of ecosystems.

Front

What is the difference between a food chain and a food web?

Back

A food chain is a linear sequence of organisms through which nutrients and energy pass, while a food web is a complex network of interconnected food chains.
