Cycles of Matter
Mark Jean Palbusa Terms
| Definition | Terms |
|---|---|
| States that matter is created nor destroyed during chemical or physical changes. | The Law of Conservation of Mass |
| States that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. | The Law of Conservation of Energy |
| is the process in which producers, mainly plants take in carbon dioxide and water with the aid of sunlight to produce food/Oxygen | Photosynthesis |
| Is process in which producers, consumers, and decomposes convert food and oxygen to produce energy, carbon dioxide, water | Cellular Respiration |
| Involves the following processes. evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. | Water Cycle |
| Is the process of water (liquid) changing to water vapor (gas) due to increased heat. | Evaporation |
| Plants release water vapor from their leaves. | Transpiration |
| Is the process of rising water vapor cooling and changing into water droplets. | Condensation |
| When condensation takes place on plants and other objects. | Dew |
| Condensing water vapor collects as clouds, but as the droplets continue to grow large and fall to the ground as rain. | Precipitation |
| The movement of carbon atoms through the ecosystem between living and non-living things. | The Carbon Cycle |
| Oxygen goes through living and non-livings, it is needed for breathing, cooking, and decomposition. | The Oxygen Cycle |
| Decreases the number of producers that create oxygen. | Deforestation |
| Used to make nutrients for plants and Nitrogen fixation . | The Nitrogen cycle |
| The change from free nitrogen to nitrogen compound that you can use. | Nitrogen fixation |
