What is photosynthesis? the process illustrated above in which oxygen is produced
What is #3? The graph that best represents the relationship between the amount of pollutants in the air and the quality of the air
What is the precipitation? The falling to Earth of any form of water
What is runoff? Water (liquid) that drains or flows over the ground
What is the Carbon Dioxide Cycle? The circulation of carbon atoms in the biosphere as a result of photosynthesis and respiration
What is seed dispersal or carbon dioxide? The animals in the diagram are dependent on the plants for oxygen. Identify one way in which plants are dependent on animals.
What is #2? the most likely reason that the deer population decreased from 1920 to 1935 (1) More water was available. (2) There was increased competition for food. (3) Fewer hunting licenses were issued. (4) There was less air pollution.

What is the Nitrogen Cycle? The circulation of nitrogen atoms in the biosphere
What is respiration? The process in which animals take in oxygen from the air and use it to break down sugars which the animals uses as energy
What ecological succession? The process in which the community in a particular place is gradually replaced by another community
What is #1? the statement that is best supported by the diagram 1 Drinking water can become polluted from unsuspected sources. 2 Chemicals applied by farmers lower the level of pollution in drinking water. 3 Human activities do not affect groundwater. 4 Toxic waste is safe if buried below the level of the basements of nearby homes.
What is C? The letter that represents the process of precipitation? 1 A 2 B 3 C 4 D
What is #3? The diagrams below show the plant communities present in the same area at different times over a 200-year period following a forest fire. The logical sequence of ecological succession would be (1) B --> A --> D --> C (3) B --> D --> C --> A (2) B --> C --> D --> A (4) B --> A --> C --> D
What is global warming? The gradual increase in the average temperature worldwide due to many factors
What is acid rain? When the pH of rain water is acidic; it is usually caused by pollution
What is evapotranspiration? The process in which water evaporates from the ground and is also given off by plants during transpiration
What is #3? The statement that best describes the relationship between the deer and the plants (1) The deer supplies food and oxygen to the green plants. (2) The deer supplies food and carbon dioxide to the green plants. (3) The green plants supply food and oxygen to the deer. (4) The green plants supply food and carbon dioxide to the deer.
What is #1? The statement that best explains the relationships shown? (1) Living things exchange materials with their environment. (2)Water changes over time to a nonrenewable resource. (3) Minerals recycle the dead materials in the environment. (4) Living things produce other living things.

(3) Both the human population and the amount of carbon dioxide have decreased. (4) Both the human population and the amount of carbon dioxide have increased.
What is conservation? The protection, preservation, management or restoration of natural environments and the ecological communities that inhabit them
What is photosynthesis? The process in which plants take in Carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil and convert them to sugar, which the plant uses for energy and oxygen which is released
What is pollution? The contamination of air, soil, or water by substances that are harmful to living organisms
What is………….? The usage of electricity in the United States has increased dramatically over the past 20 years. Most of this electricity is currently produced by burning fossil fuels. State one reason for this increased usage of electricity.
