200
The maximum population size of species that an environment can sustain
What is carrying capacity
200
The particles of an atom that have charge.

200
A dot to represent each valence electron around the symbol of an element.
What is a Lewis Dot structure?
200
How much of a solute can be dissolved in a solvent at a given temperature?
What is solubility?
200
The energy of position. Stored energy. Chemical energy is one example.
What is potential energy?
300
The amount of land and water required to provide raw materials that a person consumes and then to dispose of (or recycle) the waste produced.
What is an ecological footprint
300
Variation of an element because it has a different number of neutrons and therefore a slightly different atomic mass.
What is an isotope?
300
A bond formed between two elements by the transference of electrons.
What is an ionic bond?
300
The human-caused increasing of nutrients in a body of water.
What is cultural eutrophication?
300
A reaction that requires heat (energy) to occur.
What is an endothermic reaction?
400
The size of the human population will soon outstrip the food supply leading to disease, starvation and war.
What is the philosophy of Thomas Malthus (late 1700s) and Paul and Anne Ehrlich (1960's).
400
An element that has a different number of protons compared to electrons.
What is an ion?
400
A bond between two atoms where the electrons are shared unequally?
What is a polar covalent bond?
400
The comparison of how much oxygen a sample of water has dissolved compared to how much oxygen that sample of water could dissolve.
What is percent saturation?
400
When the output of system becomes an input for the same system and drives that system in the opposite of its previous direction.
What is a negative feedback loop?
500
The role of organism in its environment that is very narrow and specific.
