Decomposers break down dead organisms and other organic wastes and release inorganic molecules back to the environment. Food chains and food webs are diagrams that represent feeding relationships. They model how energy and matter move through ecosystems
1. Limited energy supply to other organisms
2. Herbivores will be scarce because they don’t mate
3. Avoid pollution
Adding sanctions and punishing offenders
Bacteria reproduce by Binary Fission (also known as "Budding"), a simple process in which many prokatyoric organisms reproduce; it involves cell division after the replication of the nucleoid.
Blade
Thin, flattened section of a plant leaf that collects sunlight
Petiole
Thin stalk by which a leaf blade is attached to a stem
Mesophyll
Specialized ground tissue that makes up the bulk of most leaves; performs most of a plant's photosynthesis
Palisade Mesophyll
Layer of tall, column-shaped mesophyll cells just under the upper epidermis of a leaf
Spongy Mesophyll
Loose tissue beneath the palisade layer of a leaf
Stoma
Opening in the underside of a leaf that allows carbon dioxide and oxygen to diffuse into and out of the leaf
Guard Cell
Specialized cell in the epidermis of plants that controls the opening and closing of stomata by responding to changes in water pressure
Transpiration
Loss of water from a plant through its leaves
