Water Cycle
Any form of water that falls from clouds and reaches Earth's Surface
Precipitation
What is the most abundent gas in the atmosphere?
Nitrogen
There is an ending for a carbon molecule. True or false
False, this is due to the law that matter or energy can not be created or destroyed
Environmental Factors that are living
Biotic
Organisms that make their own energy
Producers
The process by which molecules at the surface of liquid absorb enough energy to change to a gas.
Evaporation
How do plants absorb nitrogen? Through leaves, roots?
Through roots
Photosythesis takes in blank and releases blank
Co2 and oxygen
Environmental factors that are non-living
Abiotic
Organisms that consume other organisms to obtain energy
Consumers
The change in state from a gas to a liquid
Condensation
When plants and animals die the nitrogen atoms within them are destroyed. True or False
False, matter and energy can not be destroyed.
Respiration uses blank and releases blank.
oxygen and Co2
Limited food source is a example of:
Limiting Factor
Organisms that breakdown/eats dead matter to obtain energy
Decomposers
Process of evaporation of water from plants
Transpiration
How do animals get nitrogen in their system?
They eat plants that contain nitrogen
Combustion of fuels (fossil fules) puts what into the atomosphere?
Co2
Levels of Organizations smallest to largest
Organism, Population, Community, Ecosystem
In food chains, and food web the arrows represent what?
Where the energy is flowing to
Precipitation that does not soak into the ground, but moves on the Earth's surface towards larger water sources
Runoff
Changing nitrogen gas to usable nitrogen in the soil
Nitrogen fixation
Process that removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
Climate, water, Sun
Abiotic Factors
In a energy pyramid the energy (increases or decreases) going from the bottom to the top.
Decreases
