major regional groupings of plants and animals discernible at a global scale
What are Biomes?
100
the cycle of processes by which water circulates between the earth's oceans, atmosphere, and land, involving precipitation as rain and snow, drainage in streams and rivers, and return to the atmosphere by evaporation and transpiration.

How hot one body is when compared to another.
What is temperature?
200
the tendency toward a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements, especially as maintained by physiological processes.
What is homeostasis?

Has humid, warm and wet climate. Also about half of all known species of plants and animals live here.
What is the tropical rain forest?
200
the series of processes by which carbon compounds are interconverted in the environment, chiefly involving the incorporation of carbon dioxide into living tissue by photosynthesis and its return to the atmosphere through respiration, the decay of dead organisms, and the burning of fossil fuels.
What is the carbon cycle?

the series of processes by which nitrogen and its compounds are interconverted in the environment and in living organisms, including nitrogen fixation and decomposition.
What is the nitrogen cycle?
300
Inherited traits is carried on DNA
What is Display Heredity?
300
Living things are made of cells. Living things obtain and use energy. Living things grow and develop. Living things reproduce. Living things respond to their environment. Living things adapt to their environment.
What are the characteristics of life?
400
The production of energy by the oxidisation of glucose.
What is respiration?
