| physiological adjustment to change in particular environmental factor | |
| organisms that relies mainly on external sources of energy for regulating body temperature | |
| Process in which the photosynthetic pigments of plants, algae, or bacteria absorb light and transfer their energy to electrons | |
| process by which a liquid changes from liquid phase to gas, as in the change from liquid water to water vapor | |
