Questions and Answers
Succession - answer -recovery after disaster

Photosynthesis - answer -the process by which producers use solar energy to
convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose

Cellular Respiration - answer -the process by which cells convert glucose and
oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water

Food Web - answer -a complex model of how energy and matter move between
trophic levels

Detrivores - answer -organisms that specialize in breaking down dead tissues and
waste products into smaller particles

Decomposers - answer -fungi or bacteria that recycle nutrients from dead tissues
and wastes back into an ecosystem

Gross Primary Productivity - answer -the total amount of solar energy that producers
in an ecosystem capture via photosynthesis over a given amount of time

Net Primary Productivity - answer -the energy captured by producers in an
ecosystem minus the energy producers respire

Standing Crop - answer -the amount of biomass present in an ecosystem at a
particular time

Ecological Efficiency - answer -the proportion of consumed energy that can be
passed from one trophic level to another

Biogeochemical Cycles - answer -the movement of matter within and between
ecosystems

Macronutrients - answer -the six key elements that organisms need in relatively large
amounts: nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sulfur

Population Ecology - answer -the study of factors that cause populations to increase
or decrease

Carrying Capacity - answer -the limit of how many individuals in a population the
food supply can sustain

Intrinsic Growth Rate - answer -the maximum potential for growth of a population
under ideal conditions with unlimited resources

Exponential Growth Model - answer a growth model that estimates a population's
future size after a period of time, based on the intrinsic growth rate and the number of
reproducing individuals currently in a population (J-shaped curve)

Logistic Growth Model - answer -a growth model that describes a population whose
growth is initially exponential, but slows as the population approaches the carrying
capacity of the environment (S-shaped curve)

Corridors - answer -strips of natural habitat that connect separated populations
