        Help!  

Term
Definition
Acidification   show
🗑
Atmosphere   show
🗑
show An organism that can produce its own food using energy from sunlight or inorganic substances. Examples include plants and algae.  
🗑
show The total mass of living organisms in a given area or ecosystem, often referring to plant material that can be used as a renewable energy source.  
🗑
show The regions of the Earth's surface, atmosphere, and hydrosphere where living organisms exist.  
🗑
show The continuous movement of carbon through Earth's atmosphere, biosphere, geosphere, and hydrosphere, involving processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, and decomposition.  
🗑
Carbon dioxide (CO2)   show
🗑
Carbon fixation   show
🗑
show A place or medium that stores carbon, such as the atmosphere, oceans, or fossil fuels.  
🗑
show A natural or artificial reservoir that absorbs and stores more carbon than it releases, helping to reduce the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.  
🗑
show A specialized organelle found in plant cells where photosynthesis takes place, containing chlorophyll and other pigments.  
🗑
show Long-term shifts in temperature, precipitation patterns, and other aspects of the Earth's climate system, primarily caused by human activities.  
🗑
Combustion   show
🗑
show Organisms that obtain energy by consuming other organisms or organic matter. They are also known as heterotrophs and include animals and fungi.  
🗑
show The breakdown of organic matter into simpler forms, usually carried out by bacteria, fungi, and other decomposers.  
🗑
show The capacity to do work or produce heat.  
🗑
show A natural fuel formed from the remains of living organisms, such as coal, oil, or natural gas.  
🗑
Geosphere   show
🗑
Glucose/sugar   show
🗑
show A gas that traps heat in the Earth's atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect.  
🗑
Heterotroph   show
🗑
Hydrocarbons   show
🗑
show The water on or near the Earth's surface, including oceans, lakes, rivers, and groundwater.  
🗑
show A greenhouse gas and the main component of natural gas.  
🗑
Microbes   show
🗑
Mitochondrion   show
🗑
show A group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest unit of a chemical compound.  
🗑
show The process by which the ocean absorbs or takes in substances, such as gasses or nutrients.  
🗑
show Material derived from living organisms, often found in soil or as decaying plant and animal remains.  
🗑
Photosynthesis   show
🗑
Phytoplankton   show
🗑
show Organisms, including plants and algae, that can produce their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis.  
🗑
Reaction   show
🗑
Respiration   show
🗑
show The settling or deposition of particles, such as mud, sand, or silt, in a liquid or on a surface.  
🗑
Transpiration   show
🗑
show  
🗑


   

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.
