21

22
Q

Competition

A

When two organisms compete for the same food

23
Q

Predation

A

When one organism feed on the other

24
Commensalism
when one benefits from the other while the other is nor harmed or affected
25
Mutualism
when both organisms benefit
26
Parasitism
When a parasite lives in a host, the parasite gets a home while the host gets harmed
27
Seven important processes to the water cycle
evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation, collection, infiltration, absorption.
28
Evaporation
when liquid water turns into gas
29
Transpiration
plants store water in their leaves, this causes water to evaporate out the leaves and into the air
30
Condensation
Liquid in the atmosphere cools and tiny water droplets form on dust particles in the atmosphere to make clouds
31
Precipitation
Clouds become "too Heavy" with water and it starts to rain
32
collection
water gets on earths surface and it makes a runoff, runoffs bring water form the air to lakes and oceans
33
Infiltration
water on earths surface absorbs into the ground
34
Absoprtion
water in the soil will be taken up by plants through their roots
