Photosynthesis/Cellular Respiration
Site of cellular respiration
What is mitochondria?
Liquid to gas
What is evaporation?
Carbon compounds are passed to herbivores when they feed on autotrophs
What is consumption?
process by which bacteria convert nitrates into nitrogen gas
What is denitrification?
Process where soil phosphates are used by plants
What is plant uptake?
Site of photosynthesis
What is chloroplast?
Describe condensation
Gas to liquid
Process where carbon dioxide is given off when organisms die
What is decomposition?
Process that involves nitrogen turning into the form of ammonia
What is ammonification?
Process of fertilizer running into waterways
What is runoff?

2 Products of Cellular Respiration (200 pts/each)
What are Carbon Dioxide and Water?
the process by which water on the ground surface enters the soil
What is infiltration?
The form that plants take in carbon as
What is carbon dioxide (CO2)
Process that involves plants uptaking nitrogen and using it as nutrients
What is assimilation?
Process that involves releasing of phosphates from rocks
What is weathering?
How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration similar?
They are opposites- photosynthesis products are CR reactants and vice versa
Evaporation of water from the leaves of a plant
What is transpiration?
A rapid reaction between oxygen and fuel that results in fire
What is combustion?
What organisms are involved with the process of denitrification?
Denitrifying bacteria
Geologic process that moves rocks from oceans onto land
What is uplift?
