Ecology Part ll

2. having a higher osmotic pressure than a particular fluid, typically a body fluid or intracellular fluid.
3. series of chemical reactions that break down glucose to produce ATP.
5. the movement of water molecules from a solution with a high concentration of water molecules to a solution with a lower concentration of water molecules.
7. the movement of substances across a cell membrane down their concentration gradients, which does not require energy.
9. the cycle of processes by which water circulates between the earth's oceans, atmosphere, and land.
10. colourless, odourless, tasteless gas essential to living organisms.
13. any external solution that has the same solute concentration and water concentration compared to body fluids.
14. nature's way of reusing carbon atoms, which travel from the atmosphere into organisms in the Earth.
17. the long-term heating of Earth's surface observed since the pre-industrial period.
19. provides protection for a cell.
20. the biogeochemical cycle that describes the transformation and translocation of phosphorus in soil, water, and living and dead organic material.

1. having a lower osmotic pressure than a particular fluid, typically a body fluid or intracellular fluid.
4. a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy.
6. a repeating cycle of processes during which nitrogen moves through both living and non-living things.
8. the main sugar found in your blood.
11. is the net movement of anything generally from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.
12. the movement of ions or molecules across a cell membrane into a region of higher concentration.
15. comes from the extraction and burning of fossil fuels.
16. shifts in temperatures and weather patterns.
18. an organic compound that provides energy to drive many processes in living cells.
