Geosphere
What process occurs when a male reproductive cell joins with a female reproductive cell in a flower?
Fertilisation
What is one advantage of asexual reproduction?
Fast reproduction / only one parent needed
How can flooding increase the spread of disease?
It contaminates water supplies and spreads pathogens.
Name two fossil fuels commonly used for energy.
Coal, oil or natural gas
Which Earth sphere contains the gases surrounding Earth?
Atmosphere
What are the three structures that make up the carpel (female reproductive organ)?
Stigma, style and ovary
Why is genetic variation important for the survival of a species?
It helps populations adapt to environmental changes and diseases.
Why might climate change increase the spread of vector-borne diseases such as malaria or dengue fever?
Warmer temperatures allow vectors like mosquitoes to survive and spread into more areas.
How does burning fossil fuels affect the balance of carbon in Earth's spheres?
It releases large amounts of stored carbon into the atmosphere as CO₂.
Which two Earth spheres interact directly when plants absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis?
Biosphere and Atmosphere
