The process by which organisms generate energy without the use of oxygen, resulting in different by-products, and influencing the cycling of matter in environments where oxygen is limited.

Data, observations, and information used to support or refine scientific explanations.

To make improvements or updates to an explanation based on new evidence or feedback.

Communities of living organisms interacting with each other and their environment, where matter and energy are continuously exchanged.

The transfer of energy through an ecosystem, typically starting from the sun and moving through producers to various levels of consumers and decomposers.

The process by which plants and other photosynthetic organisms use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, essential for the cycling of matter and flow of energy in ecosystems.

The series of reactions and transformations that occur in biological systems, such as respiration and photosynthesis, though specific chemical details are not the focus here.

The process by which organisms use oxygen to convert glucose into energy, carbon dioxide, and water, contributing to the cycling of matter and flow of energy.
