Thermal Energy
The measure of how hot or cold something is
Temperature
The state of the atmosphere at a place and time, including temperature, precipitation, and wind.
Weather
Two substances interact to create a new substance
Chemical Reaction
Main energy source for cells
Glucose
Plant needs for photosynthesis
Sunlight, Water, Carbon Dioxide
Community of living organisms interacting with their environment
Ecosystem
Energy that comes from the temperature of matter
Thermal Energy
Tool used to measure the change in air pressue
Barometer
The result of a chemical reaction
Product
Mouth, Esophagus, Stomach, Small Intestine, Large Intestine
Digestive System
Pigment in plants responsible for photosynthesis
Chlorophyll
Create their own food, typically through photosynthesis
Autotroph OR Producer
When particles move faster and spread farther apart
Heated up
Long term patterns of weather
Climate
Characteristic of a substance that does not change
Organ that absorbs most of the nutrients
Small Intestine
Substance produced by trees - mostly water with a little sugar; boil it down and it makes a great pancake topping
Sap
Break down organic matter and recycle nutrients
Decomposer
When particles/molecules/atoms bump into each other
Energy Transfer
Greenhouse Gas
Na_3C_6H_5O_7
Sodium Citrate
Cannot be broken down by the digestive system, instead is used to help clean it out
Fiber
Organelle in which photosynthesis happens
Chloroplast
Only 10% of energy passes from one trophic level to the next - this is what happens to the rest
Becomes heat or is undigested
State of matter with the highest energy
Gas
Water vapor that cools and condenses into tiny droplets in the atmosphere
Clouds
Fundamental Law of Matter
Matter cannot be created or destroyed
Transports oxygen inhaled and carbon dioxide exhaled in the lungs
Blood vessels/Blood
6CO_2 + 6H_2O + sunlight rightarrow C_6H_12O_6 + 6O_2
Chemical formula for photosynthesis
Non-native organism introduced to an area that can harm the ecosystem
Invasive species
