22
Q

Competition

A

When two organisms compete for the same food

23
Q

Predation

A

When one organism feed on the other

24
Q

Commensalism

A

when one benefits from the other while the other is nor harmed or affected

25
Q

Mutualism

A

when both organisms benefit

26
Q

Parasitism

A

When a parasite lives in a host, the parasite gets a home while the host gets harmed

27
Q

Seven important processes to the water cycle

A

evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation, collection, infiltration, absorption.

28
Q

Evaporation

A

when liquid water turns into gas

29
Q

Transpiration

A

plants store water in their leaves, this causes water to evaporate out the leaves and into the air

30
Q

Condensation

A

Liquid in the atmosphere cools and tiny water droplets form on dust particles in the atmosphere to make clouds

31
Q

Precipitation

A

Clouds become “too Heavy” with water and it starts to rain

32
Q

collection

A

water gets on earths surface and it makes a runoff, runoffs bring water form the air to lakes and oceans

33
Q

Infiltration

A

water on earths surface absorbs into the ground

34
Q

Absoprtion

A

water in the soil will be taken up by plants through their roots
