Nutrients |
The substance that is required for the food of a living organism. |
|
|
Heterotrophs |
Heterotrophs doesn't produce their own food, they have to get the necessary organic material from outside the organism. |
|
|
Autotrophs |
Independently microorganism producing the necessary components for survival. |
|
|
Photoautotrophs |
Uses light as an energy source to synthesize organic compounds from inorganic metarials. |
|
|
Photosynthesis |
Green plants in the light of complex organic molecules from simple fused. |
|
|
Chemoautotrophs |
An organism that obtains its energy from the oxidation of organic compounds. |
|
|
Chemosynthesis |
The chemical reaction that ocurs with the oxidation of bacteria |
|
|
Cell Respiration |
Metabolic processes by which living cells produce energy. |
|
|
Consumers |
Produced by autotrophic organism consuming resources heterotroph organisms. |
|
|
Producers |
An autotrophic organism capable of producing complex organic compounds from simple inorganic molecules through the process of photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. |
Examples: Plants in terrestrial ecosystems, and algae in aquatic ecosystems. |
|
Decomposers |
They feed with dead and animal metarials. Then put back into the food chain organisms. |
|
|
Food Web |
Of an organism and that provide energy fed from the previous one, in contrast an array of nutrients and organisms that transfers energy to the next. |
|
|
Biotic |
Belong to living organisms. |
|
|
Abiotic |
Belong to non-living organisms. |
|
|
Ecosystem |
The system which is creates by living and non-living organisms. |
|
|
Habitats |
Formed within the order of nature itself. |
|
|
Biosphere |
In the world by land,sea and in fresh water parts of the record signs of life. |
|
|
Energy |
In the matter and which has heat, light, power in the form.
|
Examples: 1-Mechanical energy 2-Thermal energy 3-Nuclear energy 4-Chemical energy 5-Electromagnetic energy |
|
Chemical Energy |
Energy that occur during chemical reactions.
|
Examples: Batteries,petroleum and etc. |
|
Free Energy |
The maximum amount of energy that can be produced by a chemical or mechanical process.
|
|
|
Heat Energy |
The system of heat energy from their surroundings or their environment or objects.
|
|
|
First Law of Thermodynamics |
Energy cannot be created or destroyed but it can be converted into different forms. |
Example: Sunlight energy,organic compound chemical energy |
|
Second Law of Thermodynamics
|
Systems tend to change in a way that increases the entropy of the system and its surroundings. |
|
|
Entropy |
Irregular and irreversible dissolution in the event of any physical or chemical energy.
|
|
|
Enzymes |
Cause a chemical reaction and enhance it fusible organic matter.
|
|
|
Catalysts |
Any chemicals that lower activation energy. |
|
|
Active site |
A point that performs a particular reaction.
|
|
|
Substrate |
The special ingredient that have an impact on the enzyme.
|
|
|
Metabolism |
Movement in living organisms or living cells, to provide energy comprising, biological, and chemical shifts of the entirety.
|
|
|
Synthesis |
Elements or creating objects by combining other ingredients as artificial compound.
|
|
|
Decomposition |
The normal structure of various environmental factors, bacteria or organic matter due to lose.
|
|
|
Biosynthesis |
Chemical composition of the organic matter of living cells.
|
|
|
Oxidation |
redox reactions in oxidation, or in the event of losing electrons.
|
|
|
ATP |
Creatures that uses directly the cellular energy molecule, biological energy.
|
|
|
ADP |
Adenine, ribose, and two phosphate groups covering nucleotide. Occurs with the hydrolysis of ATP, oxidative phosphorylation and substrate-level phosphorylation ATP is recycled.
