Final Jeopardy

2. 1 - $100
What would happen to the population of Killer Whales if the population of krill went up?
Phytoplankton Krill Blue Whale Killer Whale
The population of Killer Whales would go up.

3. 1 - $200
What is the source of energy for all living things?
The Sun

4. 1 - $300
Where is the greatest amount of energy found in a food chain, food web, or energy pyramid
At the producer level

5. 1 - $400 What is a decomposer? Name two.
A decomposer is an organism that breaks down wastes and dead organisms, and returns the nutrients to the soil. Examples include: fungi, worms and bacteria.

6. 1 - $500
What is the difference between an herbivore, a carnivore, an omnivore, and a scavenger?
An herbivore only eats plants. A carnivore only eats meats. An omnivore eats plants and meats. A scavenger is a carnivore that feeds on the bodies of dead organisms.

7. 2 - $100
Which biome is known for having more rain than the desert but less rain than most trees need, grows grasses like wild oats and rye grass, and has plants with extensive root systems that can re-sprout after a fire?
Grasslands (savannahs, prairies)

8. 2 - $200
Which biomes are known for having huge trees, lots of rain, growing orchids, rubber trees, redwoods, climbing vines, and having drip-tips to help the leaves shed water efficiently?
Rainforests (tropical and temperate)

9. 2 - $300
Which biome is known for being extremely cold and dry, its permafrost, mosses, grasses and sedges, and its plants are small, low growing, and grow in clumps to stay warm?
Tundra

10. 2 - $400
Which biomes are known for deciduous trees that shed their leaves in the fall, and coniferous trees that produce seeds in cones, have adaptations like needle-shaped leaves or dropping leaves?
Forests (Deciduous and Boreal-also known as Taiga)

11. 2 - $500
Which biome is known for it’s searing summer heat, extremely dry climate, cactus, yucca, and have plant adaptations like storing water in stems or leaves and waxy coating to reduce water loss?
Desert

12. 3 - $100 What is the function of a flower’s sepal?
To protect the developing flower bud

13. 3 - $200 What are the functions of the leaves?
To perform photosynthesis, to regulate water in the plant, to take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen to the atmosphere

14. 3 - $300 Explain how xylem and phloem work
Water and minerals go up the xylem from the plant’s roots to the leaves. Food (glucose) goes down the phloem from the leaves to every cell in the plant

15. 3 - $400
What is the purpose of a flower on a plant?
Reproduction

16. 3 - $500 What is the difference between pollination and fertilization?
Pollination is when the pollen from an anther gets transferred to the stigma of a plant. Fertilization is when the pollen from a stigma moves down the style, into the ovary, and pierces an ovule.

17. 4 - $100 What is the purpose of dormancy
To allow a plant to survive during a period of adverse weather conditions

18. 4 - $200 Explain transpiration
Transpiration is a plant process that allows water to be pulled from the roots of plants up the xylem to the leaves. Transpiration also lets plants regulate their amount of water by letting water out of the stomata. Transpiration also helps a plant regulate it’s temperature

19. 4 - $300 How do tropisms help a plant survive?
Tropisms help a plant move toward something they need, or away from something. For example, phototropism, when a plant moves toward the sun, or hydrotropism, when a plant’s roots move toward water.

20. 4 - $400 Explain cellular respiration and give the equation.
Cellular respiration is the process where plants take the food they made (glucose) and turn it into energy to use for growing, reproducing, etc.
Glucose + Oxygen Energy + Water +
Carbon Dioxide

21. 4 - $500 Explain photosynthesis and give the equation
Photosynthesis is the plant process where plants take in carbon dioxide and water, and use the Sun’s energy to convert them to food (glucose) and oxygen
Carbon Dioxide + Water=Glucose + Oxygen

22. 5 - $100
What is the basic building block of soil?
Bedrock

23. 5 - $200
What should you do if you want to increase the fertility of your soil?
Add more humus

24. 5 - $300 What is the role of a decomposer in soil formation?
Decomposers break down wastes and dead organisms to return nutrients back to the soil

25. 5 - $400 Name at least 3 things people can do to reduce soil erosion
Terracing, wind breaks, low or no-till plowing, contour plowing, plant vegetative cover, avoid overgrazing, avoid mining, avoid over-construction, minimize recreational vehicle use,

26. 5 - $500 Why is soil such a valuable natural resource?
Almost all living things get their energy, directly or indirectly from plants that grow in soil. Additionally, there is a limited supply of soil and it takes a very long time to form.

27. Final Jeopardy Name the types of rock described below:
Formed by cooled magma or lava
Formed by rock particles piling on top of each other, over time
Formed by heat and pressure
Igneous Rocks
Sedimentary Rocks
Metamorphic Rocks
