| 14968230471 | deductive reasoning | taking a general rule and using it to derive smaller conclusions | 5 | |
| 14968230472 | ecological succession | predictable changes in biotic and abiotic conditions of an ecosystem | 6 | |
| 14968230473 | ecosystem | interactions of organisms with their biotic and abiotic factors | 7 | |
| 14968230474 | entropy | in thermidynamics, the tendacy for all reactions to lead to chaos | 8 | |
| 14968230475 | feedback loop | in a system where the output influences the inputs | 9 | |
| 14968230476 | inductive reasoning | taking smaller material and combining them to form general rule | 10 | |
| 14968230477 | interspecific competition | when individuals of different species compete for the same resource in an ecosystem (e.g. food or living space). | 11 | |
| 14968230478 | law of conservation of energy | in a closed system, energy (the ability to do work) cannot be created nor destroyed, reactions lead to entropy, and total energy remains constant | 12 | |

| 14968230480 | limiting factor | material that will stop reactions because it is consumed the fastest | 14 | |
| 14968230481 | model | simplified representation of real thing | 15 | |
| 14968230482 | niche | The function or position of a species within an ecological community. | 16 | |
| 14968230483 | photosynthesis | process of converting light energy into chemical energy i.e. carbon fixation | 17 | |
| 14968230484 | pollination | the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma. | 18 | |
| 14968230485 | primary succession | predictable changes in biotic and abiotic conditions of an ecosystem starting from an area with no life | 19 | |
| 14968230486 | rain shadow effect | when due to topograpical barrier, the windward side receives large amounts of precipation and the leeward side is dry. | 20 | |
| 14968230487 | secondary succession | predictable changes in biotic and abiotic conditions of an ecosystem starting from an area with life | 21 | |
