ecology-The scientific study of interactions among organisms and between organisms and their environment, or surroundings.
biosphere-Contains the combined portions of the planet in which all of life exists, including land, water, and air, or atmosphere.
species-A group of organisms so similar to one another that they can breed and produce fertile offspring.
populations-Groups of individuals that belong to the same species and live in the same area.
communities-Assemblages or different populations that live together in a defined area.
ecosystems-Assemblages or different populations that live together in a defined area.
biome-Assemblages or different populations that live together in a defined area.
atotrophes-Only plants, some algae, and certain bacteria that can capture energy from sunlight or chemicals and use that energy to produce food
producers-Those that can capture energy from sunlight and those that capture chemical energy.
Photosynthesis-Producers
Those that can capture energy from sunlight and those that capture chemical energy.
Photosynthesis -Autotrophs use light energy to power chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and energy-rich carbohydrates such as sugars and starches.
Chemosythesis-When organisms use chemical energy to produce carbohydrates.
Heterotrophs-Organisms that rely on other organisms for their energy and food supply
Consumers-A.K.A. Heterotrophs
Herbivores-Heterotrophs that obtain energy by eating only plants
Carnivores-Eat animals
Omnivores-Eat both plants and animals
Detritovores-Feed on plant and animal remains and other dead matter
Decomposers-Breaks down organic matte
Food chain-A series if steps in which organisms transfer energy by eating and being eaten.
Food web-When the feeding relationships among the various organisms in an ecosystem form a network of complex interactions
Trophic level-Each step in a food chain or food web
Ecological pyramid-A diagram that shows the relative amounts of energy or matter contained within each trophic level in a food chain or food web.
Biomass-PLAY
Ecological pyramid
A diagram that shows the relative amounts of energy or matter contained within each trophic level in a food chain or food web.
Biomass -The total amount of living tissue within a given trophic level
Biogeochemical cycles-When elements, chemical compounds, and other forms of matter are passed from one organism to another and from one part of the biosphere to another.
Evaporation-The process by which water changes from liquid form to an atmospheric gas.
Transpiration-The process of which water can also enter the atmosphere by evaporating from the leaves of plants.
Nutrients-PLAY
Transpiration
The process of which water can also enter the atmosphere by evaporating from the leaves of plants.
Nutrients -All the chemical substances that an organism needs to sustain life.
Nitrogen fixation-Such bacteria, which live in the soil and on the roots of plants called legumes, convert nitrogen gas into ammonia.
Denitrification-Nitrogen fixation
Such bacteria, which live in the soil and on the roots of plants called legumes, convert nitrogen gas into ammonia.

Biogeochemical cycles-Nutrients move through an ecosystem in
Phosphorus cycle-What biogeochemical cycle does NOT involve a stage where the chemical enters the atmosphere?
Limiting nutrient-When an ecosystem is limited by a single nutrient that either is scarce or cycles very slowly, this substance is called a(an)
i hope this helps on this question and the rest of your homework/quiz
You can distinguish between rough ER and smooth ER based on their structure and functions. Rough ER has a bumpy appearance due to the presence of ribosomes, which are involved in protein synthesis, while smooth ER, lacking ribosomes, appears smooth and is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification.
The ability to differentiate the rough ER from the smooth ER lies in their appearance and the presence or lack of ribosomes. The rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) has a bumpy appearance because it is studded with ribosomes, which are tiny, round structures responsible for protein synthesis. On the other hand, the smooth ER does not have ribosomes attached, hence it looks smooth under a microscope. The smooth ER also performs functions distinct from the rough ER such as detoxification and lipid synthesis. Hence, by both their physical forms and functions, one can tell a rough ER from a smooth ER.

A Barrier Island is an island parallel to the coastline that protects the shore from erosion.
A nucleotide contains a base (adenine, thymine, guanine, or cytosine), sugar, and phosphoric acid.
Nucleotides are organic compounds that are composed of a base (one of the following four chemicals: adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine), in addition to a sugar molecule and a phosphoric acid molecule. They perform the function of monomeric units inside the nucleic acid polymers, which include ribonucleic acid and deoxyribonucleic acid. These two types of biomolecules are required for the survival of all kinds of life on Earth.
Nucleotides are required in order for metabolic processes and physiological functions to be carried out.
