Law of Conservation of Energy

States that energy cannot be created nor destroyed, only change forms.

Law of Conservation of Mass

States that the total amount of mass cannot be created nor destroyed.

When heat is added to water (liquid), and it is converted into water vapor (gas).

When heat is removed from water vapor (gas), and it is converted into water droplets (liquid).

When clouds get too heavy with water, and it falls as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.

Precipitation that runs off the land into a river, or an ocean.

Water from precipitation that is absorbed into the soil.

Water that turns into water vapor from a plant's leaves.

An organism that can produce it's own food by photosynthesis.

An organism that can't produce food, and gets it from eating producers, or other consumers.

A living organism that contributes to an ecosystem. (Plants, animals, decomposers.)

A non-living organism that also contributes to an ecosystem. (Some soil, atmosphere, air, temperature.)

A group of biotic, and abiotic factors in a certain area.

The process of cutting down multiple trees in one area.

Fuels from the Earth created by dead plants and animals that take millions of years to form.

When free nitrogen is converted into nitrogen compounds, a usable form of nitrogen.

The process of sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide being converted into glucose which is stored, and oxygen, which is released as a waste product. 6CO2+6H2O→C6H12O6+6O2

The process of glucose, and oxygen getting converted into ATP energy for cells, water, and carbon dioxide as a waste product. C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 --> 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O + ATP

When organisms break down nitrates in the soil, releasing nitrogen into the atmosphere.

When nitrogen compounds are converted into ammonia.

The movement of water from the surface of Earth, to Earth's atmosphere, and back onto Earth in liquid, and gas form.

The movement of carbon in the ecosystem going between living organisms, and the atmosphere.

The movement of oxygen throughout the ecosystem that goes between the biotic and abiotic factors.

The movement of nitrogen through plants, animals, bacteria, the air, and the soil in the ground.
