ecology and decomposition

?
how is biomass formed?
biomass is produced when organic matter is burned or decomposes
1 of 9
construct a food chain
producer-primary consumer- secondary consumer- tertiary consumer-apex predator
2 of 9
identify and describe predators and prey
the prey is usually the primary consumer they consume the producer they are usually small and weak not really built for hunting, whereas the predator (the secondary consumer) is faster and bigger and is made for hunting the smaller animals
3 of 9
construct a predator and prey cycle in a stable community
if the number of rabbits decreases the number of foxes will decreases along with it because it doesn't have enough food, then if the number of foxes are decreased the rabbit population will rise and so will the fox population once again
4 of 9
identify and describe the use of transects and a quadrat
they are a square made up of other squares used of measure the population in a community
5 of 9
how to calculate the area in a location with given measurements
population density = number of animals/ land area
6 of 9
Name 3 factors that affect the rate of decay of biological materia
temperature , amount of water , amount of oxygen
7 of 9
Explain the factors that affect the rate of decay of biological material
if it warm it gives the bacteria more energy making it be able to decompose faster and same goes with the amount of water and oxygen
8 of 9
Explain why gardeners and farmers need to know about decay
to make fertiliser
