Front

What is carrying capacity?

Back

The maximum population size of a species that an environment can sustain indefinitely without being degraded.

Front

What is evaporation?

Back

The process by which water changes from a liquid to a gas or vapor, typically occurring when water is heated.

Front

How does drought affect plant populations?

Back

Prolonged periods of drought can lead to decreases in plant population sizes due to lack of water.

Front

What is a food chain?

Back

A linear sequence of organisms through which nutrients and energy pass as one organism eats another.

Front

What role do primary consumers play in a food web?

Back

Primary consumers are organisms that eat producers (plants) and are essential for transferring energy from plants to higher trophic levels.

Front

What happens to primary consumers when plant populations decrease?

Back

Primary consumers struggle to survive due to a lack of food sources (plants).

Front

What is transpiration?

Back

The process by which water is absorbed by plant roots, moves through plants, and is released as water vapor through pores in leaves.

Front

What is the difference between primary, secondary, and tertiary consumers?

Back

Primary consumers eat producers, secondary consumers eat primary consumers, and tertiary consumers eat secondary consumers.

Front

What is the significance of a food web?

Back

A food web illustrates the complex interconnections between different organisms in an ecosystem, showing how energy and nutrients flow.

Front

What is the role of producers in an ecosystem?

Back

Producers, such as plants, convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis, forming the base of the food chain.
