Unit 3 Test: Ecology, Biogeochemical Cycles, ATP, Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What is a herbivore?

Back

An organism that gets energy from eating only plants.

Front

What is a carnivore?

Back

An animal that gets energy by eating other animals.

Front

What is an omnivore?

Back

An animal that gets energy from eating both plants and animals.

Front

What is a producer in an energy pyramid?

Back

The bottom layer of an energy pyramid, consisting of organisms that produce their own energy, typically through photosynthesis.

Front

What are the parts of the ATP molecule?

Back

Adenine, ribose, and phosphate groups.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the pigment that absorbs sunlight, allowing plants to convert light energy into chemical energy.

Front

What are biogeochemical cycles?

Back

Natural processes that recycle nutrients in various chemical forms from the non-living environment to living organisms and back.

Front

What is the water cycle?

Back

The continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth.
