What is zonation?
Gradual change in species distribution across a habitat.
1 of 24
Native ecosystems are..
Not man made. Woodland, lakes. They have a wider biodiversity than artificial ecosystems.
2 of 24
What is a community? And a population?
a community is made up of the organisms living there. A population is the number of a particular organism in a community.
3 of 24
What are the two stages of photosynthesis?
1) Light energy splits water into oxygen gas and hydrogen ions. 2)Carbon dioxide gas combines with the hydrogen to make glucose and water.
4 of 24
What does isotope experiments show?
Oxygen comes from water.
5 of 24
What are limiting factors in photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide, Light and temperature.
6 of 24
How are leaves adapted for efficient photosynthesis?
Large surface area, thin, contain pigments, have vascular bundles and guard cells.
7 of 24
What is diffusion?
It is the net movement of particles from a high concentration to a low concentration?
8 of 24
How is the rate of diffusion increased?
It is increased by a shorter distance, a greater concentration gradient and a greater surface area.
9 of 24
What is transpiration?
Is the evaporation and diffusion of water from leaves.
10 of 24
How is the transpiration rate increased?
It is increased by increased light intensity, temperature, air movement and a decrease in humidity
11 of 24
What is osmosis?
The net movement of water from a high to a low water concentration across a partially-permeable membrane.
12 of 24
What are minerals absorbed by?
Active transport which needs energy.
13 of 24
What are the four main minerals, that plants need?
Nitrates, phosphates, potassium and magnesium.
14 of 24
Why do the plants need the four main minerals?
Nitrates ~ for cell growth. Phosphates ~ Respiration and growth. Potassium ~ Respiration. Magnesium ~ Photosynthesis.
15 of 24
What does organic farming use?
Animal manure, crop rotation, weeding and differing planting times.
16 of 24
What is organic farming?
Does not use artificial fertilisers or pesticides.
17 of 24
Advantage of biological control.
No chemical pesticides.
18 of 24
Disadvantage of Biological pesticides.
The introduced species eating other useful species; showing a rapid population increase, so they become pests.
19 of 24
What is biological control?
Uses living organisms to control pests.
20 of 24
Advantage of Hydroponics.
Better control of mineral levels and disease.
21 of 24
Disadvantage of Hydroponics.
Concerns about the effects of extensive use of chemicals on soil structure.
22 of 24
What are detritivores?
They feed on dead and decaying animals.
23 of 24
What type of fungi uses extracellular digestion?
Saprophytic
