one specific type of organism

all the organisms of 1 species living in the same area

all the different populations living in the same area

biological community of interacting organisms and

    their physical environment

how water moves through the environment

rock formations

amount of rain, snow, sleet etc.

All the living parts of an ecosystem

All the non living parts of an ecosystem

cloudiness or haziness of fluid (loss of transparency)

              caused by suspended particles

Murky water is considered to be

Which of the following would NOT be a characteristic of water with HIGH turbidity

How large or small rocks, minerals, and soil are

the speed at which water moves an can have an impact on the horizontal sorting of sediment based on size

ability of a water body to resistance to temperature

       changes & mixing

the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance 1 degree Celsius (°C)

Grouping/layering based on characteristics

standing or still water

they develop into poorly drained areas.  They are characterized by evergreen trees, shrubs, and often blanketed with a carpet of sphagnum moss

are a body of water where the depth of light penetration can vary from several inches to many feet in open water

are defined as a body of water where light penetrates to the bottom

are characterized by soft-stemmed herbaceous plants such as cattails and pickerelweed

are dominated by woody plants such as Red Maple, gums, ashes, cedars, firs and spuces

Moving water

rooted with lower portion submerged and growing neat the shore- Example: cattails, bulrush, sedges

rooted plants (some free floating) with leaves floating on the surface

rooted plants with nearly all leaves below the surface

Characterized as shallow shoreline area inhabited by plants, Light penetrates to the bottom allowing for rooted plant growth, & Coarse sediment such as rocks, cobbles, pebbles, gravel or sand

Open water of a pond or lake, Characterized by the lack of rooted plants and limited penetration, & Area normally inhabited by plankton and fish

Bottom zone found in deep water bodies & Characterized by the lack of light penetration

area of light penetration limited by color and amount of suspended solids and plankton in the water

organisms resting near the surface

free swimming organisms

organisms that cling to rocks, logs, and other debris

organisms living on and in the bottom sediments

microscopic plants and animals that are suspended in the water column

Which of the following is NOT an example of a lotic ecosystem?

characterized by fast running water and rifflel

characterized by pools and areas with slower velocities

1.Refers to the inner bank of a stream where velocity is at a minimum

Outer bank of a stream where flow velocities are at a maximum and bank erosion is high

It is the non-cultivated, vegetated land that touches and surrounds a stream

area of land whose soil is saturated with moisture either permanently or seasonally

Water moves through the soil profile to seeps and springs or across the land as runoff and eventually into streams and rivers

A safety hazard that is associated with infectious agents such as bacteria or viruses are known as

A safety hazard that is associated with a a burns, poisoning, or explosion.

A safety hazard that is associated with objects that are sharp, pointed, fragile or simply in the way.

A safety hazard that is associated with emissions from microwaves, UV light, laser beams, & X-Rays.

A safety hazard that is associated with a current of a sufficient size passing through a person's body.

A safety hazard that is associated with machinery and other moving objects.
