Topic 1
Rain that contains chemical pollutants and can harm living and nonliving things. Acid rain has made the lake's water poisonous and is harming the fish.
An exoskeleton is the external skeleton that supports and protects an animal's body,
Scavenging is both a carnivorous and herbivorous feeding behavior in which the scavenger feeds on dead and decaying organic matter present in its habitat.
The ecosystems
would die because
all living and nonliving
Things depend on one
another.
Volcanoes, tornados, and floods
Aqua means water.
fungi that grow on moist organic matter, breaking it down.
Terra means land.
Acid rain, road salt, and fertilizer
a population is a group of living organisms of the same species, have the same features, and live together in the same area.
A solution whose pH level is greater than 7 (pure water is very close to 7, and is considered to be neutral)..
A neutral substance is neither a Acid or Alkali, A Neutral has a pH of 7. This means that it is safe to drink and use.
A community is made up of all the individual animal species living within a specific geographical area. For example, in a tide pool the community would be the sea stars, crabs, barnacles, algae, etc.
Plant-life
Moisture that has become polluted from toxins in the air.
A consumer is a living thing that eats or depends on another living thing as a source of food.
A pollutant is a waste material that contaminates air, soil, or water.
Mosquito fish
Road salt dissolves into the soil and harms the plant life that animals depend on as food. It also harms the ocean when it drains there from above ground.
An organism is a living thing.
An ecosystem is a community of living organisms (plants, animals and microbes) in conjunction with the nonliving things of their environment (things like air, water and mineral soil), interacting as a system.
Decomposers break down dead plants and animals.
A producer produces its own food, like how a plant produces its food from the Sun (photosynthesis).
Isopods
Too much fertilizer can cause plant life to be too well fed. Plants that live in the water start to grow too fast and can choke water ways.
