Unit 11 Bingo (Cycles in Nature) - Call List

(Print) Use this randomly generated list as your call list when playing the game. There is no need to say the BINGO column name. Place some kind of mark (like an X, a checkmark, a dot, tally mark, etc) on each cell as you announce it, to keep track. You can also cut out each item, place them in a bag and pull words from the bag.

  1. A model that represents how the amount of energy decreases with each trophic level
    Energy Pyramid
  2. The movement of nitrogen back and forth between plants, animals, bacteria, the atmosphere and soil.
    Nitrogen Cycle
  3. Clouds become heavy with condensation, the droplets can no longer stay afloat in the air so it comes down in the form of rain, snow
    Precipitation
  4. The movement of water from earth through the atmosphere and back to earth.
    Water Cycle
  5. An organism that makes their own food.
    Producers
  6. Temperature changes cause the water vapor to condense from gas into a liquid state which forms clouds.
    Condensation
  7. The collection of precipitation into large bodies of water. Ex. lakes, rivers, and oceans.
    Accumulation
  8. Plants absorb nitrates from the soil through the roots and convert it into plant proteins. Animals eat plants and build animal proteins.
    Assimilation
  9. When animals excrete waste or die, decomposers break down materials and return nitrogen to the soil in the form of ammonia.
    Ammonification
  10. When bacteria break down the nitrates in the soil into nitrogen gas and it’s sent up into the atmosphere.
    Denitrification
  11. When plants release oxygen during photosynthesis through small openings called stomata, moisture is also lost to the environment.
    Transpiration
  12. The movement of energy from one form to another.
    Energy Transformation
  13. An organism that eats other organisms for food.
    Consumers
  14. The movement of carbon between the atmosphere, plants, animals, and the soil.
    Carbon Cycle
  15. Shows how energy is transferred from producers to different levels of consumers in an ecosystem.
    Food Chain and Webs
  16. Matter moves through ecosystems through the carbon, water, and nitrogen cycles.
    Cycles of Matter
  17. Only one tenth of the energy of one trophic level is passed onto the next level.
    Energy Loss
  18. An organism that returns nutrients to the environment where they can be used by producers.
    Decomposers
  19. Carbon is released into the atmosphere when burning fossil fuels.
    Combustion
  20. Bacteria convert ammonia into usable nitrates.
    Nitrification
  21. Producers and First, Second, and Third order consumers.
    Trophic Levels
  22. Represented by food webs, food chains, and energy pyramids.
    Flow of Energy
  23. The process of converting nitrogen from the atmosphere into ammonia. Either with bacteria in the soil or by lightning.
    Nitrogen Fixation
  24. Carbon dioxide is given off when organisms die. Decomposers break down dead matter and carbon is released into the soil.
    Decomposition
