Foundations
1970.
When did humans reach unsustainability on Earth?
The study of the relationships between living organisms and their environment.
What is ecology?
Animals that have a large impact on their ecosystem relative to their abundance.
Phosphorus, Nitrogen, Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Sulfur.
It means there are many species
What does diversity mean?
It doesn't change the chemical structure.
What is a physical property?
The Haber-Bosch Process.
The process of breaking N2 into a different nitrogen-bearing molecule.
What is nitrogen fixation?
Substances that cannot be composed be decomposed further into simpler substances.
What is an element?
Trophic levels
What are the categories that classify organisms in an ecosystem based on their feeding behavior?
It changes the chemical structure.
What is a chemical property?
The physical and chemical components of the environment.
What are abiotic forces?
When soil bacteria are converted to nitrates that plants can use.
What is Nitrification?
Phosphorus
What cycle doesn't include any air components?
90%
How much energy is lost when you move up the trophic levels?
Observation.
What does the scientific method start with?
The living components of the environment.
What are biotic forces?
Ozone
What is not connected to climate change?
Carbon
What is the most important element of life?
The conversion of sugar to carbon dioxide.
What is cellular respiration?
Control group.
What group is not exposed to the experimental factor that the experimental group is?
Nitrates and nitrites go into the bacteria in the soil, then are released into the air.
What is dentrification?
VOCS
What can lead to air pollution and/or respiratory issues?
two small Hydrogens go down to an Oxygen
What is the water molecule model?
The conversion of carbon atoms in carbon dioxide to sugar.
What is photosynthesis?
