Ecology Part II

2. processes by which carbon compounds are interconverted in the environment
6. the total amount of greenhouse gases that are generated by our actions.
7. the rise in global temperatures due mainly to the increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
9. having a lower osmotic pressure than a particular fluid, typically a body fluid or intracellular fluid.
11. having a higher osmotic pressure than a particular fluid, typically a body fluid or intracellular fluid.
13. any external solution that has the same solute concentration and water concentration compared to body fluids.
14. the continuous movement of water within the Earth and atmosphere.
15. an important heat-trapping gas, or greenhouse gas
17. the way in which heat is trapped close to Earth's surface by greenhouse gases.
18. long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns.
19. the life-supporting component of the air
20. the movement of substances across a cell membrane down their concentration gradients, which does not require energy

1. the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods
3. the net movement of water across a semipermeable membrane
4. the main sugar found in your blood
5. repeating cycle of processes during which nitrogen moves through both living and non-living things
8. the source of energy for use and storage at the cellular level. hint ATP
10. a series of chemical reactions that break down glucose
12. the spreading out of the objects from the initial area of higher concentration.
16. cellular transport where substances move against a concentration gradient.
