This week we will be going (QUICKLY) through Carbon and Nitrogen Cycle! We will be doing some activities that focus on what happens to a Carbon Molecule as it travels through the cycle, starting with Carbon Dioxide gas.Quiz #4 - We will take on Wednesday 9/19 and Thursday 9/20
Complete Homework by Tuesday Night!!!!

Be Prepared for your Socratic Seminar on Friday!! Read Your Article and Answer the Questions!
1.I think they led him to his conclusions because he observed what the fox was eating and he noticed about food chains which created food webs and suddenly understood how everything works.
ReplyDelete2.I think he concluded that because he saw that sometimes what they eat is bigger than them and so more than one type of animal eats the same thing as another animal
3. I think it does because some of the animals in a species can't survive so it keeps everything balanced.
4 The fact of life that it describes is about food chains and food webs.
5 .Its inadequate because that’s not really why they are rare, just because you have a small amount of animals or whatever doesn’t mean that’s why they are rare. It can be because of natural selection or because they are going extinct etc.
6. They talked about how they eat and burn energy so they need more energy and since organisms only pass 10% of energy up there are less and less the closer you get to the top of the pyramid. This makes for fewer animals at the top because they can’t get energy that has already been used because energy can’t be recycled.
7. This changes the view because we know more about how things work and what happens and why it happens etc.
8. Not every animal is vegetarian so if an herbivore eats a plant then a carnivore eats the herbivore and if an omnivore eats the carnivore and/or the herbivore they only get part of the energy which is why they are so rare.
9. They articulated that they had connected it with physics and they used that to help them figure out how the system works.
10. It doesn’t prove it wrong because they get massive amounts of energy and they can still eat it.
1)he had the time to discover food chains and how they worked
ReplyDelete2)bigger animals eat the smaller animals and if your smaller you will usually be eaten.
3)the herbavores evolve sizes and lets them to catch skillfully.
4)if your small theres enough energy for lots ,but if your larger theres only so much energy.
5)There is no lack of space , the size of smaller animals are higher in biomass then bigger ones and numbers are set by the oppurtunitys for ones way of life.
6)They believed those who worried about the calories in their food the least were obese.
7)some things wernt being made as powerful and big because there wasnt enough energy for the other items/organisms
8)There is a small fraction that helps bigger and fiercer bodies thats why they are so rare.
9)connected it with physics helping them figure out just how the system worked.
10)All the animals were plant eaters and they get a good amount of animals and they can still eat it.
1) Each animal must adapt to be larger than the prey to be able to eat it but since only ten percent of energy is passed each level must be a tenth less abundant.
ReplyDelete2) He concluded that because energy is passed when one organism eats another. He also thought it was because of the way the larger animals ate the smaller and on down the food chain.
3) Natural selection ensures that only the larger and fittest of the larger can eat it and continue the cycle of life.
4) It describes the way energy is lost and passed on the next level of organisms. The pyramid also explains how much of each section there is as you grow levels of it.
5) There is plenty enough biomass and space for more animals on Earth. The reproduction of smaller organisms is also at a basic speed to feed enough organisms.
6) They found out how much energy lost as heat and how much was passed on as the other organism ate it.
7) They then saw that larger animals are scarcely spread and how size affects the amount of population.
8) The larger and fiercer animals must consume more energy to live, reproduce and maintain their life, most of which is not obtained.
9) The many largest animals were plant eaters and were able to maintain enough energy by eating at the source.
10) Both elephants and whales eat very low on the food chain to avoid a majority of the energy loss in food chains.
