  2. Capillary Action Definition: Property of water that occurs when adhesion if water molecules to a surface is stronger than cohesion between molecules • Application: Properties of Water

  3. Carbohydrate Definition: Compound composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms • Application: Biological Molecules and Cells

  4. Carbon Neutral Definition: An activity that does not change atmospheric CO2 concentrations • Application: Biomass/ Fossil Carbon

  5. Carbon Offsets Definition: Methods of promoting global CO2 reduction that do not involve a direct reduction in the amount of CO2 actually emitted by a company • Application: Air Pollution

  6. Carbon Sequestration Definition: An approach to stabilizing greenhouse gases by removing CO2 from the atmosphere • Application:

  7. Carcinogens Definition: Chemicals that cause cancer • Application: Water Pollution

  8. Carrying Capacity (K) Definition: The limit of how many individuals in a population the food supply can sustain • Application: Population and Community Ecology

  9. Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) Definition: The ability of a particular soil to absorb and release cations • Application: Chemical Properties of Soil

  10. Cell Definition: A highly organized living entity that consists of the four types of macromolecules and other substances in a watery solution, surrounded by a membrane • Application: All Environmental Systems Consist of Matter

  11. Cellular Respiration Definition: The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water. • Application: Energy Flows through Ecosystems
