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 |

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 |
