Biology; Biochemistry
Giving off light as a result of chemical reactions that take place in the tissues of the body.
by-product
Biology; Biochemistry
Something produced in the process of making something else. When plants produce carbohydrates during photosynthesis.
cyanobacteria
Biology; Biochemistry
Bacteria that contain chlorophyll and perform photosynthesis. They are important in the nitrogen cycle because they change the form of atmospheric nitrogen.
decomposer
Biology; Biochemistry
A living thing that feeds on dead plants or animals. Decomposers make important nutrients available to plants.
