Photosynthesis

Back 15

The process by which carbon cycles from the Plants use Carbon+ Oxygen = Sugar (energy)

Front 17

Respiration

Back 17

Sugar molecules break down to release energy

Front 18

Decomposition

Back 18

the breakdown of dead materials by which carbon cycles from the environment
into living things

Front 31

NItrogen Fixiation

Back 31

Bacteria changes nitrogen gas into forms that plants use

Front 32

Primary Succession

Back 32

occurs in an area that was not priviously inhabited by living things

Front 33

Secondary Succession

Back 33

occurs in an area where an earlier community was disturbed
