(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.

the uppermost layer of a body of water that receives sunlight
Photic Zone
the process of cellular respiration that takes place in the presence of oxygen gas to produce energy from food
Aerobic Respiration
the rate at which solar energy is captured in sugar molecules during photosynthesis
GPP
tidal mouth of a large river, where the tide meets the stream
Estuary
a grassy plain in tropical and subtropical regions, with few trees
Savanna
forests growing in high-latitude environments where freezing temperatures occur for 6 to 8 months aka Taiga
Boreal Forest
This aquatic biome is experiencing damage from rising ocean temps, lower ocean pH, and the use of some types of sunscreen
Coral Reef
Characterized by the dominant plant forms present there...
Terrestrial Biomes
Plants absorb CO2 and release Oxygen and water
Photosynthesis
a deep zone of an inland body of freestanding water, such as a lake or pond, located below the range of effective light penetration.
Profundal Zone
lake or other body of water) rich in nutrients and so supporting a dense plant population, the decomposition of which kills animal life by depriving it of oxygen.
Eutrophic
Swamps, Marshes and Bogs are all types of...
Freshwater
Wetlands
describes the efficiency with which energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next
Ecological Efficiency
chemical processes by which atmospheric nitrogen is assimilated into organic compounds such as ammonia
Nitrogen Fixation
Can be achieved by man made processes or naturally when plants absorb CO2 druing photosynthesis
Carbon Sequestration
the ecological region at the lowest level of a body of water such as an ocean, lake, or stream, including the sediment surface and some sub-surface layers.
Benthic Zone
the process by which water moves downward through the soil under gravitational forces
Percolation
aka plants and producers
Autotrophs
the water that is pulled by gravity across land's surface, replenishing surface water as it moves into a river, stream or watershed.
Runoff
the type of decomposer that feeds on the carcasses of dead animals
Scavenger
consume rotting leaves and other dead plant materials in or on soil. Earthworms are an example
Detritovore
a thick subsurface layer of soil that remains frozen throughout the year, occurring chiefly in polar regions.
Permafrost
Living things convert glucose into energy for growth and life functions
Cellular Respiration
Hydrologic, Carbon, Nitrogen and Phosphorus are examples of
Biogeochemical Cycles
They consume other living things to obtain energy and nutrients
Heterotroph
low nutrient lakes, streams, springs, and groundwater.
Oligotrophic
an area of ocean that is far from land
Open Ocean
Terrestrial biome that is treeless and in which portions of the soil are permanently frozen
Tundra
Aquatic biome dominated by salt tolerant trees
Mangrove
area of coastal grassland that is regularly flooded by seawater.
Salt Marsh
aka herbivores and sometimes omnivores
Primary Consumer
exhalation of water vapor through the stomata
Transpiration
Microscopic plants
Phytoplankton
an ecological phenomenon triggered by the addition or removal of top predators
Trophic Cascade
respiration through which cells can break down sugars to generate energy in the absence of oxygen
Anaerobic Respiration
Graphical represenation of annual precipitation & temperature
Climatogram
The owl ate a bird that had eaten a grasshopper that had eaten grass
Tertiary consumer
regions of the surface, atmosphere, and hydrosphere of the earth occupied by living organisms.
Biosphere
a graphical representation of the energy found within the trophic levels of an ecosystem
Trophic Pyramid
the open and well-lit area of a freestanding body of freshwater
Limnetic Zone
the biological process by which chemical energy is converted into carbohydrates for the organism's food
Chemosynthesis
the process during which the nitrogen compound is released back into the atmosphere by converting nitrate (NO3-) into gaseous nitrogen (N)
Denitrification
terrestrial biome dominated by cactus and other water conserving plants
Desert
Divided into two large categories based on salinity
Aquatic Biomes
area close to the shore
Littoral Zone
Where to go if you want to play in the tide pools
Intertidal Zone
Terrestrial biome with the highest productivity (NPP)
Tropical Rainforest
