with each other through sexual (or asexual for bacteria) reproduction.
MIGRATION: When living organisms move from one biome another. It can also
describe geographic population shifts within nations and across borders.
RENEWABLE RESOURCES: Supplies of biological organisms that can be replaced
after harvesting by regrowth or reproduction of the removed species! such as
seafood or timber.
NON-RENEWABLE: Something that cannot be replaced once it is used or that may
take many hundreds of years to be replaced.
FOSSIL FUELS: Fuel formed over millions of years from compression of the
decayed remains of living matter, coal, oil, and natural gas are fossil fuels.
EQUILIBRIUM: A condition where structures or systems are in complete balance. A
state of rest or balance in which all opposing forces are equal.
LIFE CYCLE: All the stages in the life of a plant or animal organism between life
and death.
CONSUMPTION: The number of resources or energy used by a household.
CONSERVATION: &reserving and carefully managing natural resources so that they
can be used by present and future generations. We conserve resources by using
them more efficiently with minimum waste.
