What is Kinetic Energy (KE)?
What two things cause the Potential Energy (PE) in a system to change?
What is Height/Speed and Mass?
Organic material that has stored the sun's energy in the form of chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis.
What is Biomass?
Simplified representations of systems that help scientists describe, explain, and make predictions. They have limitations and built-in inaccuracies that scientists need to be aware of.
