How spicy the taco is The Law of Conservation of Matter The process of turning a gas into a liquid Carbon, Nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur and (water) The process of changing a liquid to a gas Size of the taco Both matter and energy can flow through The dispenser used to apply the sriracha Substances used by an organism to survive, grow, and reproduce. Is constantly recycled through an ecosystem and does not have to leave the ecosystem.
