Glycoproteins can permit some invertebrates to withstand temperatures as low as –18°C without freezing. 

Antarctic fish also have glycoproteins in their blood and some species accumulate sodium, potassium, or chloride ions or urea, all of which lower the blood freezing point.

Biogeochemical cycles can be divided into two broad types:

Local cycles, which involve elements with no atmospheric mechanism for long-distance transfer. Ex- The phosphorus cycle

Global cycles, which involve an interchange between the atmosphere and the ecosystem. Ex- The carbon, Nitrogen, Sulfur, and Water

Osmosis is the movement of water across membranes to balance solute concentrations. Water diffuses from a solution that is hypotonic into a solution that is hypertonic

Turgor pressure is the hydrostatic pressure that increases as water enters plant cells.
