| Definition | Term |
|---|---|
| A closed ecosystem made by humans | Biodome |
| The tiny pieces that all matter - all the stuff in the world - is made of. | Atoms |
| Matter that makes up the nonliving parts of an ecosystem, such as air, water, and rocks | Abiotic Matter |
| Matter that makes up the living and dead organisms in an ecosystem | Biotic Matter |
| A type of atom (a tiny piece) that makes up molecules such as carbon dioxide and energy storage molecules | Carbon |
| A molecule made of carbon and oxygen atoms | Carbon Dioxide |
| the Part of a cell where photosynthesis happens | Chloroplast |
| An organism that needs to eat in order to get energy storage molecules (such as starch and fat) | Consumer |
| All the living and non-living things interacting in a particular area | ecosystem |
| The ability to make things move or change | Energy |
| A molecule that organisms can use to release the energy needed to survive | Energy Storage Molecules |
| A molecule that organisms can use to release energy and that is made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. | Glucose |
| Living things such as plants, animals, and bacteria | Organisms |
| The process by which plants and other producers use energy from sunlight to change carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose (an energy storage molecule) | Photosynthesis |
| An organism that can make its own energy storage molecules (such as glucose) | Producer |
| An ending substance that is made during a chemical reaction. | Product |
| A starting substance that is part of a chemical reaction | Reactant |
| A set of interacting parts forming a complex whole | System |
| The chemical reaction between oxygen and glucose that releases energy into cells | Cellular Respiration |
| To link two or more things together | Connect |
| An organism that gets energy storage molecules (such as glucose) by breaking down dead matter. | Decomposer |
| A type of Energy Storage Molecule | Fat & Glycogen |
| Something that is required for a process | Input |
| The part of a cell where cellular respiration happens | Mitochondrion |
| A group of atoms joined together in a particular way | Molecule |
| Something that results from a process | Output |
| A type of energy storage molecule made of many glucose molecules connected together. | Starch |
| A biogeochemical process through which nitrogen is converted into many forms, consecutively passing from the atmosphere to the soil to organism and back into the atmosphere. | Nitrogen Cycle |
| Nature's way of reusing carbon atoms, which travel from the atmosphere into organisms in the Earth and then back into the atmosphere over and over again. | Carbon Cycle |
