Deutsch: Mitochondrien / Español: Mitocondrias / Português: Mitocôndrias / Français: Mitochondries / Italiano: Mitocondri
Mitochondria in the environmental context refer to the organelles found in most eukaryotic Cells that are responsible for energy production. While primarily discussed in Biology and health sciences as the "powerhouses of the cell," mitochondria play an essential role in understanding environmental impacts on living organisms, particularly in how pollution and other stressors affect cellular and Ecological health.

Deutsch: Mobile Phase / Español: Fase móvil / Português: Fase móvel / Français: Phase mobile / Italiano: Fase mobile
Mobile phase in the environmental context typically refers to a component of chromatographic techniques used in environmental analysis. It is a liquid or gas that carries the sample through a stationary phase during the chromatography process, allowing for the separation of different substances within an environmental sample.
Deutsch: Mobilität / Español: Movilidad / Português: Mobilidade / Français: Mobilité / Italiano: Mobilità
Mobility in the Environment context refers to the movement of people, goods, and services within and between locations, and its environmental impact. It encompasses transportation systems and infrastructures, including public transport, private vehicles, cycling, walking, and freight transport. The environmental context of mobility focuses on reducing negative impacts such as greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution, noise, and land use changes, while promoting sustainable, efficient, and accessible transportation solutions.
A Model is a representation of a system, such as a watershed, by something other than the system itself, e.g., a schematic or a mathematical interpretation. See computer model; conceptual model.
