Front

What does biomass refer to?

Back

Biomass refers to the amount of living tissue at the trophic level.

Front

What type of succession is characterized by the recovery of an ecosystem after a disturbance that leaves the soil intact?

Back

Secondary succession.

Front

What is produced in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen and ATP.

Front

What is the albedo of snow?

Back

Snow has a high albedo.

Front

What is the efficiency of energy transfer from one trophic level to the next?

Back

The efficiency of energy transfer is roughly 10%.

Front

Define primary succession.

Back

Primary succession is the process of ecological change that occurs in an area where no soil exists, such as after a volcanic eruption.

Front

What is the role of ATP in photosynthesis?

Back

ATP provides energy for the synthesis of glucose during the light-independent reactions.

Front

Explain the concept of trophic levels.

Back

Trophic levels represent the hierarchical levels in an ecosystem, where each level is defined by how organisms obtain energy.

Front

What is the significance of light-dependent reactions in photosynthesis?

Back

They convert solar energy into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.

Front

What is the difference between primary and secondary succession?

Back

Primary succession occurs on bare rock without soil, while secondary succession occurs in areas where soil is present after a disturbance.
