Instructions for using this template. Remember this is Jeopardy, so where I have written “Answer” this is the prompt the students will see, and where I have “Question” should be the student’s response. To enter your questions and answers, click once on the text on the slide, then highlight and just type over what’s there to replace it. If you hit Delete or Backspace, it sometimes makes the text box disappear. When clicking on the slide to move to the next appropriate slide, be sure you see the hand, not the arrow. (If you put your cursor over a text box, it will be an arrow and WILL NOT take you to the right location.)
Choose a category. You will be given the answer. You must give the correct question. Click to begin.

Converting chemicals into food energy in the absence of sunlight
Chemosynthesis
Viruses are made of DNA or RNA surrounded by this
protein coat (capsid)
Major ecological role of fungi
Decomposers
Bioluminescent bacteria produce this for their mutualistic hosts
Light
Microbes, chemically different from bacteria, that live in harsh environments
Archaeons
Another name for seaweeds
Multicellular macroalgae
Asexual reproduction where a piece of a seaweed breaks off an forms into a separate organism
Fragmentation
Type of cyclical reproduction commonly found in seaweeds
Alternating generations
Seaweeds that live longer than two years
Perennials
According to most scientists, seaweeds are not true plants because they lack this
Vascular tissues
Most diverse (6,000 species)
Red
Most of its species live in freshwater environments
Green
Perennials
Brown
Help add calcium carbonate to build coral reefs
Red
Used historically to prevent goiter
Brown
Segrasses do this to prevent a buildup of epiphytes
Grows and sheds its leaves quickly
Seagrasses reproduce by this type of pollination
Water pollination
Seagrasses most closely compare to these freshwater plants
Lillies
Term used to describe plants like seagrasses that live their lives completely underwater
Hydrophytes
During the drought in the early 2000’s, the place in the Chesapeake Bay where seagrasses grew back the most
Middle
Three general ecological roles shared by salt marsh plants with other marine flowering plants
Food, habitat, and sediment stabililzation
Climate in which salt marshes are found
Temperate
These help salt marsh plants retain water
Succulent leaves, thick cuticle, and salt glands
This ecological role played by salt marshes helps keep algal bloom from occurring
Biological filter
Salt marsh plants contribute to the food chain mostly by this method
Adding to detritus (food for microbes)
Mangroves are know for these unusual structures
Roots
Found in this climate
Tropical
Method of sexual reproduction found in mangroves
Wind pollination
Ecological role played by mangrove forests that is important in maintaining marine animal populations
Nursery grounds
Types of roots that grow from high on the trunk
Prop roots
Make your wager
Feeding style(s) found in amoeboid protozoa
Heterotrophic
