population   all of the same species of an organism living a certain area, like all the deer  
🗑
community   all of the different species of organisms living in a certain area  
🗑
ecosystem   all of the organisms and non-living objects in a certain area  
🗑
biotic   living  
🗑
abiotic   non-living  
🗑
producer   an organism that uses the sun to make its own food, it is at the bottom of an energy pyramid  
🗑
primary consumer   an organism that eats plants, a herbivore  
🗑
secondary consumer   an organism that eats other animals, a carnivore  
🗑
decomposer   an organism, like bacteria, that eats and breaks down dead organisms  
🗑
photosynthesis   the process of a plant making its own food; it take sin carbon dioxide and releases oxygen  
🗑
homozygous   when the genes are both dominant or recessive, like TT or tt  
🗑
heterozygous   when the genes are a mix of dominant or recessive, like Tt  
🗑
phehotype   the external characteristics of an organism that are produced by a combination of genes, like blue eyes or curly hair  
🗑
genotype   the genes that make up a characteristics, like Tt or tt  
🗑
food web   a diagram that shows the feeding relationships between all the organisms in an area  
🗑
energy pyramid   a diagram that shows how energy transfers between different organisms  
🗑
density formula   D= M/V  
🗑
density   the amount of matter or number of particles in an object  
🗑
kinetic energy   energy of motion  
🗑
potential energy   stored energy  
🗑
mass market   many copies of the same item produced for the general population  
🗑
niche market   a product made for a specific audience  
🗑
physical change   a change in form or appearance of an object but not its composition, such as ice melting  
🗑
chemical change   a change in an substance caused by a reaction; it creates a new substance  
🗑
reactants   the molecules/atoms that are mixed in a chemical reaction  
🗑
product   what is produced by a chemical reaction  
🗑
compound   atoms that are bonded together and can't be split  
🗑
substance   matter that has the same chemical composition throughout  
🗑
mixture   a combination of elements and compounds that has not formed a new substance; can be separated out  
🗑
melting   a change in the state of matter of an object, as from ice to water  
🗑
newton's first law of motion   an object at rest will stay at rest AND an object in motion will stay in motion UNLESS an outside force acts on it  
🗑
newton's third law of motion   for every action, there is an equal an opposite reaction  
🗑
newton's second law of motion   the greater the mass of an object, the greater the force needed to accelerate that object  
🗑
law of conservation of mass   mass is neither created nor destroyed; we can demonstrate this with a balanced equation  
🗑
friction   a forces that acts to slow down the movement of an object  
🗑
gravity   the force that pulls all objects towards the center of a planet  
🗑
