Ecology Part 2

4. the total amount of greenhouse gases produced to directly and indirectly support human activity
6. the continuous movement of water within the Earth and atmosphere
9. has a lower solute concentration compared to the intraceullular solute concentration
10. the source of energy for use and storage at the cellular level
11. an energy driven process where membrane proteins transport molecules across cells
13. a type of sugar, the chief source of energy for living organisms
14. the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar
16. movement of a solute from a region of high electrochemical potential on one side of the cell membrane to a region of lower electrochemical potential on the opposite side
17. a repeating cycle of processes during which nitrogen moves through both living and non living things
19. the process by which phosphorus moves through the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere
20. any external solution that has the same solute concentration and water concentration compared to body fuilds

1. the long term warming of the plant's overall temperature
2. chemical process in which oxygen is used to make energy from carbohydrates
3. nature's way of reusing carbon atoms,which travel from the atmosphere into organisms in the Earth and then back into the atmosphere over and over again
5. respiration using electron acceptors other than molecular oxygen.
7. a colorless, odorless gas
8. significant changes in global temperature, precipitation, wind patterns and other measures of climate that occur over several decades or longer
12. the movement of individual molecules of a substance through a semipermeable barrier from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration
15. any external solution that has a high solute concentration and low water concentration compared to body fluids
18. the net movement of water across a semipermeable membrane
