Decomposers

________ are organisms which break down dead organic materials and waste.

Acclimatization

________ is a short term physiological change in an individual, only lasting for a lifetime.

Convection

________ is when hot water molecules rise and the cold water molecules sink.

Adaptation

________ is the changes in the population to suit its habitat.

Producers

________ are organisms which make their own food and energy.

Ecology

________ is the study of how living things interact with the environment; how living things respond to the changes in their environment.

Krebs cycle

The ________ occurs inside the Matrix of the mitochondria.

Heterotrophs

________ are organisms who depend on others to feed and grain energy, and there are 6 types.

Molecular evidence

________ means that all life on earth shares a common genetic code: DNA.

Radiometric

________ dating gives you an absolute numerical number as to how old the fossil is.

ultimate source of energy

The sun is the ________ in an ecosystem.

Glycolysis

________ occurs in the cytosol of the mitochondria, and the ETC happens in the outer membrane of the mitochondria.

Aerobic

________ means that oxygen is needed, while anaerobic means oxygen is not necessary.

organelle

The ________ that is responsible for photosynthesis is Chlorophyll.

cryosphere

The ________ is counted in the hydrosphere most of the time, but is a separate part as well.

Fossils

________ are preserved remains of a once living organism.

Autotrophs

________ are organisms who feed themselves.

ATP

________ is basically the energy currency of all living cells.

Humans

________ are using excess fossil fuel, and with all the pollution, our atmosphere is filled with bad things.

Ionization

________ is the process of when hydrogen atoms break to create ________.

It can change within minutes, or ________ is a long- term state of weather.

glycolysis recitation

The ________ can occur in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions, and it occurs in the cytosol of a cell.

carbon cycle

The ________ is helpful to photosynthesis and gives it to organisms.

Weather

________ is a short- term state of the atmosphere.

dispersion groups

There are 3 ________, clumped, random, or uniform.

Dispersion

________ is the act of distributing or separating things.

genetic variations

anaerobic conditions

For ________, only 2 ATP molecules can be produced.

somatic variations

Acquired traits are ________ which animals develop during their lifetime.

individual organisms

Variation is the difference between cells, ________, or groups of organisms of any species, caused by genetic differences gained over time.

Photosynthetic

There are 2 types of autotrophs, ________, and Chemosynthetic.

electromagnetic spectrum

The ________ has gamma rays, x- rays, UV rays, visible light, infrared waves, microwaves, and radio waves.

visible light

The ________ in the spectrum allows you to see colors like the rainbow.

Energy

food chain

The ________ is a representation of who eats whom, It is a single track of energy flow.

nitrogen cycle

The ________ processes in the ground, with ammonifying bacterias, nitrifying bacterias, denitrifying bacterias and decomposing bacterias.

energy transfer

In ________, the energy gets moved through each organism.

Invasive species

________ are species that are non- native to the land they are on, and they are harmful to other plants.

substance that absorbs light

The ________ is called pigments.

Ecologists rely on 3 main approaches

Observation, Experimentation, and modeling

There are 6 levels of organization in the environment

Individual organisms,  population, community, ecosystem, biome, and biosphere

Demographers focus on 3 main aspects of their study

Size, Uniform, and Dispersion

There are 4 main cycles

The Hydrological cycle, the carbon cycle, the nitrogen cycle, and the phosphorus cycle

There are three pigments in leaves

Chlorophyll-a, Chlorophyll-b, and carotene

The formula for cellular respiration is

C(6)H(12)O(6)+6O(2) →6CO(2)+6H(2)O+ATP

You can find the age of a fossil from 2 methods

relative dating, and radiometric dating

There are 3 types of anatomical evidence

Homologous organs, Analogous organs, and vestigial organs

Molecular evidence means that all life on earth shares a common genetic code

DNA
