Role of solar energy
Definition
plants convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen through photosynthesis

removal of foxes

Reduction in 3rd level/ energy input in 1st level/ no drop in 1st or 2nd level
Definition
no drop in 1st or 2nd trophic level
Term
removal of owls

Reduction in 3rd level/ energy input in 1st level/ no drop in 1st or 2nd level
Definition
no drop in 1st or 2nd trophic level
Term
Bunny rabbit lethal virus example
Definition
-process of natural selection
-genetic drift

Definition
school of tuna
Term
2 statements that describe photosynthesis & respiration
Definition
-oxygen is a product of photosynthesis but is consumed during respiration
-photosynthesis is carried out by chloroplasts and respiration is carried out by mitochondria
Term
why does primary succession take longer to reach climax community than secondary succession
Definition
soil is not immediately available in a primary succession environment and ti must accumulate over time
