| Contains Decomposers, such as Bacteria and Fungi, which break down decayed Biomass | Soil |
| Organisms that break down dead or decaying organisms | Decomposers |
| Green Plants capable of making their own food using energy from the sun through Photosynthesis | Producers |
| An Element essential to Life, that is broken down by bacteria into a usable form that is absorbed by the roots of plants. | Nitrogen |
| An element essential to Life, which cycles in many forms within living systems. | Carbon |
| This is absorbed by plants for use in Photosynthesis | Water |
| Material from Living or recently living organisms composed of a mixture of organic molecules containing Hydrogen, Carbon, often Nitrogen and other atoms | BIOMASS |
| A container that holds organic matter while it is decomposed by Fungi and Bacteria, converting it into Soil | Compost Bin |
| Organisms such as Bacteria and Fungi that break down the remains of dead plants and animals, without need for internal Digestion | Decomposers |
| Single-celled Organisms and Prokaryotic(No nucleus) | Bacteria |
| Microorganisms important as Decomposers, can break down just about any organic matter | Fungi |
| An Organism that feeds on dead plants or animal matter, including Decomposers. | Detrivore |
| The process by which Nitrogen is converted between its Various Chemical forms as it is exchanged among the Soil, Biosphere and Atmosphere of Earth | Nitrogen |
| This Nitrogen cannot be used until it is fixed | Atmospheric Nitrogen |
| Carbon is exchanged among the soil by photosynthesis and cellular Respiration by Humans and Animals | Carbon Cyle |
| The movement of water in three steps-Evaporation, Precipitation,Condensation | Water cycle |
| The proess by which water is evaporated in plants is called | Transpiration |
| Special Bacteria convert the Nitrogen gas to Ammonia which plant can use | Nitrogen Fixation |
| The process which converts Ammonia into Nitrite which plants use | Nitrification |
| The final step in which Bacteria convert nirogen compounds to Nitrogen gas and release back to Atmosphere | Denitrification |
