Across
- 5. the measurement of how acidic vs. alkaline a solution may be
- 6. the measurable level of heat energy in a substance
- 8. a less toxic nutrient of the N cycle that is converted from Ammonia
- 9. a phase of the Nitrogen (N) cycle when the least toxic form of nitrogen develops in an aquarium
- 11. the measurable amount of space a substance occupies or 'takes up'
- 14. a species of bacteria that helps cycle nitrogen
- 16. a sequence of steps that usually yield some result
- 17. the act of taking care of a common resource

- 2. an important limiting nutrient that cycles in ecosystems
- 3. a species of bacteria that helps cycle nitrogen

- 5. an important step of a process being studied
- 7. a measurement of the ratio between molecules in a solution to determine a particular water quality
- 10. when an atom gets a charge when there is a change in the number of its electrons
- 12. a chemical that provides energy to an organism when consumed
- 13. a substance that has no particular use and is more costly than it is beneficial (opposite of resource)
