Cell Membrane A lipid barrier that encloses the cytoplasm and controls what enters and exits the cell.
Cell Wall A tough, protective barrier that surrounds the outer membrane of some types of cells
Chloroplast A membrane-bound organelle in plants that is the site of photosynthesis
Climate Average weather patterns for a particular region
Condensation The change from a gas state to a liquid state

System A group of interacting, interrelated, or interdependent elements forming a complex whole
Thermal Energy The total kinetic (motion) energy of the tiny particles that make up matter; the faster the particles move, the warmer the matter becomes
Tissue A mass of similar cells that perform a specialized function
Transpiration The process by which plants lose water (water vapor) through the stomata in their leaves
