|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| biotic | the living components of the world
-in ecosystems, these components include all living things
🗑
|
||||
| abiotic | the non-living components of the world
-in ecosystems, these components include sunlight, wind, nutrients, and minerals
-absorbed by organisms when excreted as waste or when die
🗑
|
||||
| decomposer | an organisms that lives on decaying organic material, from which it obtains energy and its own raw materials for life
-consume partially decomposed organic matter and excrete nutrient-rich waste like nitrogen, phosphorous, and calcium
🗑
|
||||
| biosynthesis | the process of putting together or building up the large molecules characteristic of a particular type of cell or tissue, in other words, reactions that put create the macromolecules needed for life
🗑
|
||||
| ecology | the study of living and non-living components of the environment and of the interactions that affect biological species
🗑
|
||||
| ecosystems | a biological community in its abiotic environment
🗑
|
||||
| when the types and amounts of matter in an ecosystem ------, the ecosystem --- | -remains essentially the same across time
-remains in balance
🗑
|
||||
| when the types and amounts of matter in an ecosystem -, the ecosystem ----- | - change
-is forced to change too
🗑
|
||||
| not only does - move through an ecosystem, but some of it makes a complete - within it | -matter
-cycle
🗑
|
||||
| Water Cycle... | the water cycle collects and redistributes the Earth's water supply
🗑
|
||||
| Carbon Cycle... | in a stable ecosystem, the total number of carbon atoms will remain approximately the same
🗑
|
||||
| What are the four main processes that move carbon? | 1. biological processes
2. burial and decomposition process
3. geochemical processes
4. human processes
🗑
|
||||
| Nitrogen Cycle... | the atmosphere is the main reservoir of nitrogen; it also cycles through the soil and tissues of living organisms
🗑

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
To hide a column, click on the column name.
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
