- 1. dioxide A chemical present in the atmosphere, at low levels, essential for the building of biological molecules in living things through the process of photosynthesis:
- 2. A large, rotating air depression bringing wind and rain. The term cyclone is used in Australia, hurricane in countries bordering the Atlantic and typhoon in SouthEast Asia.
- 3. The process where warm fluids (liquid or gas) rise due to their lower density, carrying heat with them.
- 4. The situation where a quantity, such as total energy, remains the same during a reaction or process.
- 7. A type of food molecule comprised of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen atoms (e.g. sugar, starch).
- 9. A device that transforms stored chemical energy to electrical energy
- 11. A source of electric current, usually made of metal.
