Terms

undefined, object
copy deck
an underground storage place for water, an underground lake.
aquifer
the rate at which the food chain grows and functions
trophic lever
the control center of all cells.
Nucleus
an atom with 0 charge, it's neutral.
neutron
something that stays together but can be pounded on and not get broken..
malleable
it breaks easily (non metal)
brittle
ex. grass, grasshopper, bird, hawk
food chain
a chart of elements/chemicals and their information
periodic table
a change that you can see taking place physically, not a chemical.
physical change
an organism that makes it's own food
producer
water that is found underground, no very different from an aquifer
ground water
it's flexible, not easily broken
ductile
1.) all elements are made of atoms. 2.)Atoms of the same element are exactly alike. 3.) atoms of a different element are different properties. 4.) Atoms are not actually changed by a chemical reaction, just rearanged. 5.) Compounds are formed when atoms combine. 6.)compounds are defined but the number, type and proportion of atoms, matter cannot be created or destroyed.
Atomic theory of matter
converting nitrogen into a usable form. Nitrogen gets absorbed into the ground and gets into the plants, bacteria on the roots of the plants then convert the nitrogen into a usable form, an organism eats the plants and gets the nitrogen into their body, the nitrogen then exits the body of the organism by "waste".
nitrogen cycle
a hybrid of metals and non metals
Metalloids
something that conducts electricity, or has an easy transfer of energy/heat.
metals
groups in the periodic table
periods
an atom with a positive charge.
proton
a change that is by a chemical reaction
chemical change
atoms put together
matter
an atom with a negative charge
electron
the cycle in which water goes from, evaporation, precipitation, condensation/transpiration.
water cycle
it is brittle, non mattleable, and is a poor conductor of heat/electricity/energy.
non metals
issues that have something to do with the environment.
environmental issues
an organism that eats another organism
consumer
something that causes something else to happen
reactant
the process in which bacteria from plants converts nitrogen (N, small 2) into usable nitrogen.
nitrogen fixation
many atoms together
compound
the after math of having a reactant.
product
