A nonliving factor
or element
Abiotic
Light, water, heat,
rocks, energy, minerals
The tendency for a
system to remain in a
state of equilibrium by
resisting change
EX: Thermostat in your
house
Homeostasis

Identify
what A, B
and C
cycles are
C
•A
•B
•C
Nitrogen Cycle
Water Cycle
Carbon Cycle
What does this picture
represent?
Succession
The series of changes that
occurs in an ecosystem with
the passing of time
The process of mixing
decaying leaves, manure and
other nutritive matter to
improve and fertilize soil
Composting
Remember Worm Bins
What is this equation?
Sunlight
6CO2 + 6H2O
C6H12O6 + 6 H20
Chlorophyll
Photosynthesis
The process by which plants,
algae, and some bacteria use
sunlight, carbon dioxide, and
water to make food
The process by
which plants
release water
vapor into the
air through
stomata
Transpiration
The growth of all or part of
the organism in response to
an external stimulus, such
as light
Tropism
What makes this leaf green?
Chlorophyll
A green pigment that captures
light energy for photosynthesis
What is it called when
egg and sperm meet?
Egg
Sperm
Fertilization
What are these pictures
showing?
Pest
A label applied to an organism when it
is in competition with humans for
some resource
A species that is in danger of
extinction throughout all or
significant portion of its range
Endangered Species
The land area from which surface
runoff drains into a stream,
channel, lake, reservoir or other
body of water; also called drainage
basin
Watershed
A naturally occurring raw
material or form of energy
that will be replenished
through natural ecological
cycles or sound management
practices
Renewable Resource
• Wind, Water, Sun and
Trees
Oil, Gas Copper,
Gold etc. are
examples of what?
Nonrenewable
Resources
Substances that once
used, cannot be
replaced in this
geological age
What type of cell is this?
Animal Cell
Remember animal cells
are round and have a
lysosomes
These 3 statements make up
what?
• All living things are
composed of cells
• Cells are the basic function
and structure of life
• All cells come from other
cells
The Cell Theory
A and B represent
what type of cells?
B
A
A is a eukaryotic cell
Has a nucleus
B is a prokaryotic cell
Has NO nucleus
What does the picture
represent?
Mitosis
The sequential differentiation and
segregation of replicated
chromosomes in a cell’s nucleus that
preceded complete cell division
The movement of
substances
across a cell
membrane
without the use
of energy by the
cell
Passive Transport
An “If” “Then”
statement is used in
what?
A Hypothesis
The apple is green is a
_____________
description
a. Qualitative
b. Quantitative
c. Data
A. Qualitative
The physical characteristics of an
object
The division of
organisms into
groups, or
classes, based on
specific
characteristics
Classification
Remember:
Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species
State the question  collect
information  Research
information  State a
hypothesis  Test
hypothesis  Observe
testing  Record data 
State a conclusion of your
hypothesis

and what is the species?
•Genus: Homo
•Species: sapien

A characteristic
that improves an
individual’s ability
to survive and
reproduce in a
particular
environment
Adaptation
Monkeys Adapted Tail for swinging and
grabbing bananas
Herbivores eat
what?
Plant eaters
Elephants are herbivores
The process by which individuals that
are better adapted to their
environment survive and reproduce
more successfully then less well
adapted individuals do; a theory to
explain the mechanism of evolution
Natural Selection
• Zebras, over the years have
survived because of their strips
which are a naturally selected trait
An organism that
can make its own
food by using
energy from its
surrounding
Producer
Plants are producers
