Two questions remain: Anyone?

11. What are the processes that autotrophic organisms use to produce organic material from inorganic substances?

10. Autotrophic organisms are producers. Heterotrophic organisms are consumers.

11. Photosynthesis

10. Autotrophic organisms are producers. Heterotrophic organisms are consumers. YES! Very well put...

11. Photosynthesis (plants). YES! and Chemosynthesis (bacteria)

JJ and Tammy,
Excellent and well done! 😀

In addition to answers already given:

1. What is ecology?
Ecology is the field of biology that studies the relationship between living beings and between living organisms and the environment.

2. What is a species?
A species is a set of living organisms able to cross-breed among themselves to generate fertile offspring. However, this concept does not apply to species with exclusive asexual reproduction and, as a result, other definitions have been proposed. For example, “a species is a set of living organisms that evolve in a common manner, all of which are considered ancestors of the same type in relation to common descendants”.

3. What is a population?
A population is a set of individuals of the same species found in a given place at a given time.

4. What is a community? What is the difference between the concepts of community and population?
A community is a set of populations of living organisms that live in the same region and interact with each other.

In ecology, a population is a set whose members (living in a given place at a given time) are part of the same species. A community is a set of populations of different species (living in a given place at a given time).

5. What is the difference between an ecological niche and a habitat?
An ecological niche is a set of particular activities, resources and strategies that a species explores to survive and reproduce.

A habitat is the place where the species lives to explore its ecological niche.

In other words, the habitat can be considered the “address” of the species and the ecological niche is the “profession” of the species.

6. What are biotic factors?
Biotic factors are the living organisms (plants, animals and microorganisms) that are part of a given environment.

7. What are abiotic factors?
Abiotic factors are the nonliving elements that compose a given environment, such as light, temperature, minerals, water, gases, atmospheric pressure, etc.

8. What is an ecosystem?
An ecosystem is a system composed of interacting biotic and abiotic factors.

9. What is a biosphere?
A biosphere is the set of all of the ecosystems on the planet.

10. What are autotrophic organisms? What are heterotrophic organisms?
Autotrophic organisms are those that can produce their own food, or rather, that produce organic material from inorganic compounds. Heterotrophic organisms are those that need to ingest organic material to nourish themselves. Therefore, heterotrophs depend on the production of the autotrophs.

11. What are the processes that autotrophic organisms use to produce organic material from inorganic substances?
Autotrophic organisms produce organic material through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. There are photosynthetic autotrophs, such as plants, and chemosynthetic autotrophs, such as some bacteria.

1. What is a biome?

8. What is the typical vegetation and typical fauna of tropical forests?

9. How can the abundance and diversity of living organisms in tropical forests be explained?

10. Why are tropical forests also known as stratified forests?

Two questions just for fun....

1) What are these objects?
The storage medium is located in a protective capsule, which must be able to withstand an impact of 3,400 Gs (3,400 times the force of gravity). Additionally, each must also survive flames at 2,000 F for up to 30 minutes, and submersion in 20,000 feet of saltwater for 30 days.

2) What is the largest American engineering project to date?

What is the largest American engineering project to date? - Hoover Dam or Alaskan pipeline

What is the typical vegetation and typical fauna of the tundra? - Lichen

What is the typical vegetation and typical fauna of the tundra? - Lichen

While the Hoover Dam and the Alaska Pipeline were huge undertakings, neither were the largest project to date. 🙂

The Tundra: YES! Lichen is the typical vegetation of the Tundra. Tundra has vegetation formed mainly of mosses and lichens. Among fauna, animals with a large amount of fur, such as caribou, musk oxen and polar bears, as well as migratory birds, are found.

I believe the largest American engineering project to date is the Panama Canal.

1. What is a biome?

A large naturally occurring community of flora and fauna occupying a major habitat.

2. What are the major terrestrial biomes?

Tropical forests, savannas, deserts, temperate grasslands, Temperate deciduous forests, mediterranean scrub, coniferous forests, taiga and Tundra.

3. What is the typical vegetation and typical fauna of the tundra?

Already answered.

We are still working on the others.

Thanks Swan.

4. Spruce, Pine and Fir Trees. Various berry bushes. Eagles, owls, peregrine falcons, snow geese, artic fox and deer, spuirrels, elk deer wolverines, moles lynxes and grizzly bears.

5. Insects, spiders, slugs, frogs, turtles and salamanders are common. Birds like broad-winged hawks, cardinals, snowy owls, and pileated woodpeckers, white-tailed deer, raccoons, opossums, porcupines and red foxes. Lichen, moss, ferns, wildflowers and other small plants, shrubs fill in the middle level and hardwood trees like maple, oak, birch, magnolia, sweet gum and beech make up the third level. Conifers like spruce, fir and pine trees can also be found mixed in with the hardwood trees in this biome. Sometimes the taiga and the temperate deciduous forest overlap.

6. Trees and shrubs that lose their leaves in the winter.

7. Tropical rainforests are located in a band around the equator (Zero degrees latitude), mostly in the area between the Tropic of Cancer (23.5° N latitude) and the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5° S latitude). This 3,000 mile (4800 km) wide band is called the "tropics."

8. Broadleaf evergreens, tree ppiphytes, lianas and varieties of pteridophytes. Monkeys, rodents, bats, insectivores, felines, reptiles, birds, amphibians and invertebrates. Included are the horrible mosquitoes and centipedes.

9. The biodiversity of these ecosystems can be explained by the great availability of the main abiotic factors for photosynthesis. This creates a lot of food to eat providing lots of energy for the food chain.

10. Because of the different layers. The canopy, upper layer, middle layer and lower layer.

EXCELLENT! Congratulations!

In addition to the answers given:

1. What is a biome?
A biome is a prevailing ecosystem composed of similar biotic and abiotic factors present in one or more regions of the planet.

2. What are the major terrestrial biomes?
The major terrestrial biomes are: tundra, taiga (or boreal forest), temperate forests, tropical forests, grasslands and deserts.

3. What is the typical vegetation and typical fauna of the tundra?
Tundra has vegetation formed mainly of mosses and lichens. Among fauna, animals with a large amount of fur, such as caribou, musk oxen and polar bears, as well as migratory birds, are found.

4. What is the typical vegetation and typical fauna of the taiga?
Taiga, or boreal forest, is characterized by coniferous trees, which form pine forests. It also contains mosses, lichens, small bushes and angiosperms. In the taiga, many mammals, such as moose, wolves, foxes and rodents, migratory birds and a large diversity of insects are found.

5. What is the typical vegetation and typical fauna of temperate forests?
In temperate forests, deciduous trees predominate. Mammals are found in large numbers, such as bears and deer.

6. What are deciduous trees?
Deciduous trees are plants that lose their leaves during a period of the year. In the case of the deciduous trees of the temperate forest, their leaves fall in the autumn (fall). The loss of leaves is a preparation to face the cold months of the winter: their roots, trunk and branches are more resistant to low temperatures and snow than the leaves; and without leaves, the metabolic rate of the plant is reduced. In turn, the decaying fallen leaves help to nourish the soil.

7. What is the typical location of tropical forests regarding latitude?
Tropical rain forests, such as the Amazon Rainforest and the Congo Rainforest, are typically located at low latitudes, in equatorial and tropical zones.

8. What is the typical vegetation and typical fauna of tropical forests?
In the vegetation of tropical forests, broadleaf evergreen trees predominate. On the top of the trees epiphytes and lianas grow. Many varieties of pteridophytes can be found in these forests. Regarding fauna, the abundance and diversity is also great: there are monkeys, rodents, bats, insectivores, felines, reptiles, birds, amphibians and invertebrates, which are mainly insects.

9. How can the abundance and diversity of living organisms in tropical forests be explained?
The biodiversity of these ecosystems can be explained by the great availability of the main abiotic factors for photosynthesis. Since these factors are abundant, plants can perform maximum photosynthetic activity, living and reproducing easily. With a large amount and diversity of producers (autotrophs), the consumers (heterotrophic animals and microorganisms) also have abundant food and a complex food web emerges, creating many different ecological niches to be explored. Therefore, the appearance of varied living organisms as well as the existence of large populations is possible.

10. Why are tropical forests also known as stratified forests?
In tropical forests, tall trees of several species have canopies, forming an upper layer under which diverse other trees and plants develop, forming other lower layers. From the upper layer to the lower layers, the penetration of light lowers gradually and the exposure to wind and rain, the moisture and the temperature also vary. Different compositions of abiotic factors condition the prevalence of different vegetation in each layer

Thanks everyone!
