Photosynthesis
Plants stop photosynthesis because there is no sunlight. During the night, plants use this process instead.
What is cellular respiration?
On a "Scale of Excitement" from 1-10 (10 being the highest) the scale reads this number when entering Room 118 for Science with Ms. Abbott.
What is 10 (or more)?
Plant and animal cells have the same organelles, with the exception of this one.
What are chloroplasts?
This is a result of less food available to animals in an ecosystem.
What is a decrease in population?
The source of radiant (solar) energy for photosynthesis.
What is the sun?
During the winter, early spring, or after leaves have fallen off, plants still need this to survive and grow.
What is energy?
Food molecules are broken down during digestion and cellular respiration to provide this important need for all plants and animals.
What is energy?
These are broken down during digestion and cellular respiration to provide energy and materials for growth and repair.
What are food molecules?
This problem that is currently happening in the tropical rainforest (animal population vs. farming).
What is clearing land to make room for oil palm farms? This destroys habitat and food sources for orangutans and other animals, causing their populations to decrease.
What is 1 minute (or less)?
These crops use the most land, and which crop uses the least amount of land?
What are soybean crops?
Radiant (solar) energy is transformed into this during photosynthesis. *HINT: REACTANTS ----->PRODUCT*
What is chemical energy (or chemical reaction)?
This organism, such as fungi or bacteria, that breaks down dead plants and animals.
What are decomposers?
This atom comes from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and is taken in by plants during photosynthesis.
What is a Carbon?
These are jobs provided by the cell wall in plant cells.
What are protection and support?
This Rainforest animal is affected by the amount of candy consumed worldwide.
What is an Orangutan? **TO GET ALL THE POINTS, YOUR ENTIRE TEAM MUST STAND AND SOUND LIKE AN ORANGUTAN.**
This cell organelle allows plants to transform radiant energy into chemical energy, and gives leaves their color.
What is the chloroplast?
This cycle is the movement of carbon through living things, the atmosphere, water, and Earth's surface.
What is the Carbon Cycle?
These organisms, such as fungi or bacteria, that breaks down dead plants and animals. They are important because they recycle nutrients back into the ecosystem.
What are decomposers?
Having more food available to the orangutan population, results in this.
What is an increase in population?
Sunlight, precipitation, and year-round warm temperatures are required for this plant to grow.
What are Oil Palm Trees?
