Mitochonria are organelles that take in nutrients,

Mitochondria break them down and create energy. They are

involved in cellular respiration

An ecosystem is a biological community of interacting

organisms and their physical environment. Water evaporates from
water sources on earth.

is required to sustain their use of natural resources.
Ecological Footprint The water cycle is important to our sustainable food systems because everything
on earth needs water to survive. We cannot have our food without water.
Ecological footprint is related to sustainable food systems, because if
our ecological footprint is large, then we are not being sustainable. We
need to learn to reduce this to maintain sustainable food systems.

Soil is very important for a sustainable world. We need healthy

soil to grow crops that feed livestock, and humans. If the soil is Soil
bad, we cannot have crops and in turn we would not have food.
Photosynthesis

Biomagnication is when toxic substances that accumulate in

organism tissue is transferred to other organisms as predators
consume prey, When one organism eats another, it gets all the Biomagnication Photosynthesis is important for plants, as it is how they get their energy. This

DNA is what contains our genetic code and is composed of four
chemical basse: adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine.
Climate change is the change of climate patters that we are seeing globally.

Pesticides include herbicides for destroying weeds and other unwanted
vegetation, insecticides for controlling a wide variety of insects, fungicides used
to prevent the growth of molds and mildew, disinfectants for preventing the
spread of bacteria, and compounds used to control mice and rats.
Pesticide
Pesticides can contaminate soil, water, turf, and other vegetation. This affects our
food systems because they can be harmful to humans and our environment.
Organic produce and other ingredients are grown without the use of
pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, or genetically modied organism's.
Organic
By having organic food, we are reducing pesticides and
herbicides that are leaked back into our water systems.
Adaption is any alteration in the structure or function of an organism or
Adaption any of its parts that results from natural selection and by which the
organism becomes better tted to survive and multiply in its environment.

Biodiversity is the variability of life between species and ecosystems.

It is important to sustainable food systems because with the less biodiversity that Biodiversity
