Cellular Respiration

• the process that cells use to release the energy stored in sugars

  
  

• a molecule that is used to store energy in the form of oils and is important in forming cells

  
  

• cells that use the sun's energy to make sugars

• the process of using energy from the sun and matter from the environment to produce sugars that store energy in chemical bonds

Consumer

• an organism that captures energy and matter from its surroundings to produce sugars and other molecules

• an organism that gets energy and matter by eating or absorbing other organisms as food

• a molecule that is used to store energy in the form of oils and is important in forming cells

  
  

• anything the has mass and volume

Fat

• a green pigment that is important in photosynthesis

  
  

• a molecule used to store energy

• a molecule that is used to store energy in the form of oils and is important in forming cells

  
  

• structures in cells that convert energy in sugar molecules into usable energy

decomposer

• an organism that produces energy for other organisms

• an individual path in a food web

• decomposer

  a kind of consumer that uses the wastes or dead remains of other organisms as a source of energy and matter

direct effect

• indirect effect

  an interaction in a food web where one population affects the abundance of another through its effect on a third population

• an interaction in a food web where one population directly affects the abundance of another

• the process that cells use to release the energy stored in sugars

food chain

• an individual path in a food web

• an organism that gets energy and matter by eating or absorbing other organisms as food

• the process of creating offspring for organisms especially in the spring

food web

• a model that shows feeding relationships between organisms in an ecosystem

• the process a plant goes through to create sugar and oxygen

• this is a model that shows that humas are far superior to other organisms
