An atom is the smallest component of an element that still retains the properties of the element.

A biome is a large naturally occurring community of flora (plants) and fauna (animals) occupying a major habitat (home or environment).

A substance undergoes a phase transition when it moves from one state of matter to another, for example, when water freezes or boils.

Primary consumers (herbivores) subsist on producers like plants and fungus. Examples are grasshoppers, cows, and plankton.

Food is mixed with gastric acid and pepsin in the stomach to help break down protein.
