| A collection of interacting populations? | Community |
| Interactions among the populations and abiotic factors in a community? | Ecosystem |
| Reservoirs for this cycle include organisms, the atmosphere, and fertilizer-Bacteria plays an important role. | Nitrogen Cycle |
| Photosynthesis and respiration for this cycle!!!! Fossil fuels play a role. When burned, they release _____ into air-for plants. Two parts. | Carbon-Oxygen Cycle |
| Energy lost at each trophic level is replaced by? | Sunlight! |
| Besides energy, what moves through organisms at each trophic level of an ecosystem? | Nutrients! |
| Plants use nitrogen to make what? | proteins |
| Animals obtain phosphorous from? | Eating plants |
| Happens *after* a community has been destroyed? | Secondary Succession |
| A stable/mature community? | Climax Community |
| Name Some Recyclables!? | Glass, plastic, tin and aluminum |
| 2 Kinds of Cells? | Prokaryote and Eukaryote |
| Single-celled-lacks internal structure-type of cell | Prokaryote |
| Has membrane bound structures-organelles-nucleus-type of cell | Eukaryote |
| The absorption of Food/Nutrient Molecules are involved in which of the 9 life processes? | Nutrition |
| 9LP-Breaks food down into nutrient molecules | Digestion |
| 9LP-Takes nutrients into cells | Absorption |
| 9LP-Converts food into energy | Respiration |
| 9LP-Creates Life Substances | Biosynthesis |
| 9LP-Moving waste out | Excretion |
