Topic Unit 2
Across
- 2. eats only plants
- 4. eat both meat and plants
- 5. essential in ecosystem, forms a key component of all biological molecules (proteins ,fats etc)
- 8. the tendency of pollutants to concentrate as they move from one trophic level to the next.
- 9. A measurement of dry mass (indicates the total energy within a living organisms.
- 11. group of organisms in the same species living in the same area at the same time, capable of interbreeding.
- 14. collections of ecosystem that share distinctive abiotic factors, species and climatic conditions.
- 15. a community of interdependent organisms (biotic) and their interactions with the physical environment (abiotic) they inhabit.
- 17. A biome with a tropical grassland a little similar to a desert
- 19. one organism benefit at the expense of another (the host), type of symbiotic relationship.
- 20. Indicate abiotic factor of a biome is hot(high) or cold(low)
- 22. conversion of organic matter to carbon dioxide and water in all organisms, releasing energy for life processes.
- 23. Reduces carrying of infected organism.
- 24. all populations ling and interacting in a common habitat at a specific time (only biotic))
- 25. Organisms that eats other organisms to obtain energy and matter.
- 26. Supports the ecosystem through constant input of energy and new biomass.
- 27. demand by individuals for limited environmental resources.
- 29. process by which converts light energy from the sun into usable chemical energy stored in organic matter. Produce the raw materials for biomass.
Down
- 1. eats only meats
- 3. build of persistent/ non-biodegradable pollutants within organism/tropic level because it cannot be broken down.
- 6. break down tissue of dead organic matter and release nutrients of reabsorption by producers.
- 7. A biome with low temperature low rainfall
- 10. the set of biotic and abiotic conditions and resources that an organism or population responds to.
- 12. A biome with high Temperature low rainfall.
- 13. Limits the sampling area when measuring non-motile organisms. A square frame.
- 16. another form of symbiotic where both species benefit.
- 18. Environment in which species lives, where an organism can find food, shelter, protection mates.
- 21. A group of organisms sharing common characteristics that can interbreed and produce offspring that also produce young.
- 22. A biome with high temperature high rainfall
- 28. building block for amino acids and DNA
