Draggable itemCorresponding Item
Organic Matter
The process of breaking a substance down into smaller parts of organic matter, the process of decay
Glucose
A biological process that produces ethanol and CO2 by the conversion of sugars into cellular energy in the absence of O2 - generally used by yeast and bacteria
Hydrosphere
A form of renewable energy source from living or once living plant or animal materials that is often used as fuel, can also be used to describe the weight of all living things in a trophic level
Population
One of the primary substances that make up matter and cannot be broken down or converted into other substances; defined by its atomic number
Alcohol Fermentation
An interaction between organisms where one organism captures and consumes the other
Element
Energy stored in chemical bonds, can be used in a chemical reaction
Atmosphere
A monosaccharide sugar, C6H12O6, that is produced in photosynthesis and used during cellular respiration for energy production
Resource
All water on earth; including oceans, surface water, groundwater, and glaciers
Biomass
The process by which autotrophs capture light energy to convert CO2 and H2O into glucose and O2
Trophic Level
Matter that contains the element Carbon (C)
Predation
A source or supply that can be used to benefit organisms
Chemical Energy
All of the organisms of one species within a particular ecosystem
Aerobic Respiration
The whole mass of air surrounding earth; 78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen, and other trace gasses.
Photosynthesis
An organism's position on a food chain or food web
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
The process by which cells use Oxygen and the chemical energy stored in nutrients to make ATP
Decomposition
The primary molecule used by cells to store chemical energy for cellular processes
