  1. 3. a measurement of the total mass of living things in a trophic level, this decreases as you move up trophic levels
  2. 8. type of data that can be expressed numerically
  3. 10. sometimes called the Boreal forest this is the largest biome in the world. It has two seasons, 12-33 inches average annual precipitation, winter temperature between -65-30 degrees, and summer temperatures between 20-70 degrees. Animal adaptations for this biome include hibernation, migration, seasonal color change, fur or feathers, and large paws.
  4. 11. type of selection which selects for average traits in a population
  5. 12. high altitude biome with two seasons, 12 inches average precipitation annually, below freezing winter temperature and average summer temperatures between 50-60 degrees. Animal adaptations for this biome include short legs, ears, and tail; hibernation; migration; large lungs; and increased levels of the oxygen carrying molecule, hemoglobin.
  6. 14. best type of graph for representing parts of a whole
  7. 17. process through which producers and consumers convert the chemical energy stored in glucose to ATP, an energy form that can be used to carry out necessary functions
  8. 18. process through which producers convert solar energy into chemical energy
  9. 19. phytoplankton and algae are both ___________________ found in the oceans
  10. 20. Only 10% of this is passed from one trophic level to the next, decreasing as you move up trophic levels
Down
  1. 1. type of selection which selects for both extreme ends of a trait in a population
  2. 2. best way to report qualitative data
  3. 4. type of selection in which one extreme or the other is selected for resulting in a shift of the bell curve graph
  4. 5. adaptations for this biome include
  5. 6. biome that is a grassland with shrubs, isolated trees, and tall grasses. This biome has two seasons and 30-50 inches of average annual precipitation. It is located between the rainforests and desert of the world. Adaptations for this biome include plants with thick bark, extra water storage, and long roots. Animals tend to have long legs, live part of the time underground and tend to be grazers.
  6. 7. best type of graph for reporting change over time
  7. 9. descriptive data
  8. 13. a measure of disorder; this increases as you move up trophic levels
  9. 14. pollution that starts at a single identifiable source
  10. 15. this biome has four seasons, annual average precipitation of 30-60 inches, and trees that lose their leaves in winter. Animal adaptations for this biome include hibernation, migration, camouflage, and the ability to use trees for food and shelter.
  11. 16. best type of graph for comparing data among different categories
