Science EOG Prep

network of interconnected food chains – shows how energy moves through an ecosystem; arrows indicate the direction in which energy is transferred from one organism to another

• Consumers
• Food web
• Decomposers
• Pollution

process by which some producers change light energy into chemical energy (use light, carbon dioxide, and water to produce oxygen and glucose)

• Osmosis 
• Photosynthesis
• Respiration
• Anaerobic

positively charged particle present in the nucleus of atoms

• Proton    
• Atomic number
•  Periodic table
• Electron

when deep, cold water rises from the ocean bottom to the ocean surface
