| conductor | a material that has free electrons and allows electrons to flow through it |
| electric current | the flow of charges from one location to another, measured in amperes |
| electrical resistance | the opposition to electron flow provided by a material, measured in ohms |
| elementary charge | the size of the charge of a single electron or proton |
| EMF | the energy (per unit charge) provided to a circuit by a power source, measured in volts |
| energy | the ability to do work, measured in joules |
| free electron | an electron that is not tightly held by its nucleus |
| load | any part of an electrical circuit that transforms electrical potential energy into another kind of energy |
| potential difference | the energy (per unit charge) transformed by a load, measured in volts |
| power | the amount of energy that is transformed by a load every second |
| resistor | an object that resists the flow of electrons |
| Ecosystem | A community of organisms, their physical environment, and the interaction that happens between them. |
| Community | All of the populations of different species that live in the same area and interact with one another. |
| Population | A group of individuals of the same species living in one area at one time. |
| Adaptation | A feature that enhances an organism’s chance of survival. |
| Symbiosis | An interspecific interaction in which the different species live together in a long term relationship. |
