Properties of Water
The chemical formula of water.
What is H2O?
The amount of matter contained in an object.
What is mass?
One organism benefits while the other is harmed.
What is parasitism?
The green pigment found in chloroplasts that captures light energy for photosynthesis.
What is chlorophyll?
The main form of carbon found in the Earth's atmosphere.
What is carbon dioxide?
The name for water molecules bonding to each other.
What is cohesion?
The subatomic particles that orbits the nucleus.
What are electrons?
A close relationship between two species that live together and interact regularly.
What is symbiosis?
The organelle where cellular respiration occurs in eukaryotic cells.
What are mitochondria?
The process organisms do which adds carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
What is cellular respiration?
The ability of water to rise up a thin tube.
What is capillary action?
A substance made of one type of atom which has unique properties.
What is an element?
Both organisms in a relationship benefit.
What is mutualism?
The molecule that is split during the light dependent reactions, releasing oxygen as a byproduct.
What is water?
The process often associated with the loss of tropical rainforests, which decreases the biosphere’s ability to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
What is deforestation?
The type of bond that polar molecules can form with their charges.
What is a hydrogen bond?
The law which states matter and energy cannot be created or destroyed, but can only change form.
What is conservation of mass/conservation of energy?
The number of individuals of a given species a certain area can support.
What is carrying capacity?
The biochemical cycle in cellular respiration that completes the oxidation of glucose derivatives and produces electron carriers like NADH and FADH₂ for the electron transport chain.
What is the Kreb's cycle (citric acid cycle)?
This Earth reservoir stores the largest amount of carbon, mostly as dissolved carbon dioxide and carbonate ions.
What is the ocean?
Water's ability to absorb a lot of energy.
What is high specific heat?
The interaction which causes two atoms to create a covalent bond.
What is electron sharing?
The environmental conditions an organism requires and the interactions it has with other species.
What is niche?
What are electrons?
During this cycle in producers, carbon is fixed and used to create glucose.
