Energy provided sunbeams and cosmic radiation, serves to combine nitrogen and oxygen gas in nitrates, which are drawn to the earth's surface by precipitation. What is atmospheric nitrogen and soil nitrogen? No living being can consume nitrogen directly. Make an explanatory diagram of the oxygen cycle.

It includes the functioning of the ecosystem, including the flow, use and transformation of energy. Energy is transferred to animals through food chains. What are consumers Primary consumers are herbivores and secondary consumers are carnivores What are decomposers These are bacteria and microorganisms This is a chain of predators When a consumer kills its prey to devour it What is an ecological niche Is the occupation of an organism an ecosystem i.e. the role it plays in an ecosystem .

Are bird nests tasty? (Swifts-salangans live in southeast Africa, which make nests from saliva. The locals collect them, boil them in chicken broth or boiling water. They say that this is very nutritious and resembles egg white)

Ecological equivalents. There are organisms that occupy similar niches in different geographic regions and may or may not be related to each other. What is a habitat? This is the end of widespread use, used to refer to the place where an organism lives, not in a geographical sense, but in terms of the dynamic factors of that site. What is a microlibrary?

What is natural selection. Organisms with an eric character that provide them with adaptability are those that are maintained by passing these characteristics on to their offspring. What are the characteristics of the population? Density, mortality, dispersion, age, biotic potential and form of development. The biomass of people per unit area they occupy is called Population Density, which is the birth rate. This property effective growth population. a population comparable to the demographics in the population.

This is the maximum birth. These are theoretical data that indicate the maximum increase in the number of people per unit of time in optimal conditions. What is ecological birth. This is regulated by the state of the environment in which the population develops. Variations in mortality depend on physical factors, size, composition and population density. What is ecological mortality? It is determined by environmental conditions. What are the three ecological ages? Reproductive reproductive post-productive.

My body has a very thick layer of fat that keeps me warm in the icy waters of the ocean. Thanks to this fat, my body is very smooth and beautiful. I am a warm-blooded animal. The females of our species are viviparous and feed their young with milk. My children are born alive - I don't lay eggs. I breathe through two holes in my head. One of my relatives, who has only one hole in his head, can hold his breath for an hour and a half and dive to a depth of two kilometers.

Summing up the quiz.

Definition, rewarding of winners.

Quizzes for schoolchildren with answers are good opportunity test students' knowledge. Quizzes can be held in a lesson with one class, or you can combine several to make the event more interesting and informative.

Ecology is a science that studies the interactions of living organisms, with each other and with their environment. An environmental quiz for schoolchildren will help check how well the children understood and consolidated the material for the whole academic year, and how erudite they are, because some important and quite interesting questions were not taught in class.

The quiz can be held in the senior and junior grades, the main thing is that the questions asked are not too easy or too simple for the students. The questions should be interesting.

Sample questions for an environmental quiz for high school students

Question: Which sea will soon die and disappear from the face of the earth?

Answer: Aral. The area of ​​this sea has decreased three times. This happened due to the fact that people urgently needed a territory for planting cotton and rice. On the rivers that flowed into the Aral Sea, a network of canals was built to divert water. For almost fifty years, the volume of water in the sea has decreased several times, the concentration of salt has increased, all the fish and plants that were in the sea have died. It is no longer possible to correct this ecological catastrophe created by human hands.

Question: Where is the largest nature reserve on earth located today?

Answer: The largest area where any activity and human intervention is prohibited is Antarctica. Over 810 species of plants grow and many species of birds and animals live in a vast area covered with ice.

Question: Pollution with what substance is dangerous for sea and ocean water.

Answer: Oil. Oil is not diluted in water, but accumulates on the surface, forming a huge multi-kilometer film. Fish, birds and marine animals die in oil spill areas. But man has learned to destroy oil stains on the water with the help of an artificially bred oil-eater bacterium.

Question: Why do some forest animals and birds eat poisonous fly agaric?

Question: Infrared or ultraviolet radiation most dangerous for all living organisms on earth?

Answer: Ultraviolet. This radiation is invisible to the human eye and is highly reactive. Especially ultraviolet is dangerous for the skin and retina. This radiation can provoke the development and growth of oncological tumors.

Question: What berry ripens in autumn and is well preserved in winter under snow, being a source of food for many forest animals and birds.

Answer: Cowberry. This evergreen plant does not shed its leaves, and the berries, which are not afraid of frost, become sweet and juicy by spring.

Question: Why forest birds sit on an anthill, spend some time on it and do not eat ants.

Question: Why do crocodiles climb ashore, look for stones on it and swallow them?

Answer: They need stones in order to increase their body weight and dive deeper under water.

Question: What is the danger of synthetic household chemicals?

Answer: Washing powders, shampoos, shower gels and others chemical substances able to change the surface tension of water, destroying microorganisms and beneficial bacteria that live in water. Also, chemistry is toxic to humans, birds, fish and animals. Made from synthetic compounds detergents do not decompose in water, but accumulate.

Q: Cause of acid rain

Answer: In acid precipitation, with a pH scale of 0.2 to 5, the presence of sulfuric and nitric acid is detected. In nature, these acids enter the atmosphere through volcanic activity and forest fires. Harmful and dangerous chemical production, fuel combustion in cars have violated the normal natural concentration of these acids in the atmosphere and increased their concentration. Most often, acid rain falls over large cities, to which there are many cars and factories.

Question: What animal cannot jump?

Answer: Elephant.

Question: What contributes to climate change?

Answer: The greenhouse effect, which occurs due to the widespread cutting down of trees and the drainage of swamps.

Ecological quizzes help children get to know the flora and fauna of the earth better. Also, these activities are necessary to ensure that children take care of the nature around them.
