| commensalism | symbiotic; 1 benefits, 1 neutral |
| decomposition | breakdown of organic materials |
| fungi | eat dead nutrients |
| host | an organism in parisitism |
| mutualism | both benefit |
| parasite | lives in/on a host |
| producer | makes their own food |
| sediment | organic material from soil into river/lake beds |
| species | can breed together |
| succession | communities replace eachother based on environmental conditions |
| terrestrial | lives on the ground |
| acid | releases hydrogen ions |
| dietary fiber | indigestable carb |
| inorganic | man made |
| lipid | fats, oils, and waxes |

| organic | natural; carbon based |
| pH | measure of hydrogen ions in a solution; 0-14 |
| protein | macromolecule; COH + N |
| vitamin | organic molecule to make the body function |
| anaphase | 3rd mitosis phase; seperate |
| asexual reproduction | replicates itself; binary fission and budding |
| binary fission | 2 cells formed |
| budding | reproduction of uracils |
| cell membrane | outer boundary of cell; made up of a lipid bylayer (phosphate, fatty acid tail, polar, carbs) |
| cellulose | carb in plants cell walls |
| cell wall | surrounds plant cells; made of cellulose |
| chloroplast | site of photosynthesis |
| cytoplasm | outside nucleus; organelles suspended |
| diffusion | high - low concentration |
| eukaryotic | nuceus, complex |
| excrete | to get rid of body waste |
| flagellum | organelle for movement |

| metaphase | 2nd mitosis stage; chromosomes align |
| mitochondrion | produces ATP; cell respiration happens |
| mitosis | cell division |
| active transport | substances go from a low - high concentration |
| nucleus | has DNA; cell control center |
| oar | used to move the cell (hence the name) |
| organelle | cells; vacuole switch etc. |
| osmosis | low - high concentration; equilibrium is reached; water moves, not glucose |

| nucleic acid | molecule of nucleotides |
| threonine | essential amino acid |
| transcription | DNA copied to mRNA |
| translation | decodes the mRNA |
| sugar | carb essential for cells |
| proten synthesis | process of making proteins in cells |
