Ecology Short Answers

The document explains key ecological concepts including trophic levels, important materials that cycle through ecosystems (water, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen), and the processes involved in the water, carbon, and nitrogen cycles. It also defines biomass as the total dry mass of living organisms in an area and describes ecological pyramids as diagrams illustrating energy flow in food chains.

Ecology Short Answers

How is a Trophic Level Different from a Defending Level?

A trophic level relates to feeding and energy flow, while a defending level (not a standard ecological

term) would refer to protection or defense ability, which is not part of ecological classification.

What are the Important Materials That Cycle Through the Ecosystem?

Water, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen are the key materials that cycle and keep ecosystems

balanced.

What is the Water Cycle?

The water cycle moves water through evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection in

nature.

What is the Carbon Cycle?

The carbon cycle moves carbon through photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and

combustion.

What is the Nitrogen Cycle?

The nitrogen cycle converts nitrogen gas into usable forms for plants and animals through bacteria

and returns it to the air.

What is Biomass?

Biomass is the total dry mass of all living organisms in a given area.

What is an Ecological Pyramid?

An ecological pyramid is a diagram that shows the flow of energy, biomass, or number of organisms

at each level in a food chain.
