Cellular Respiration
Plants produce energy by ______________, a process as a that uses sunlight to produce glucose.
Photosynthesis
The following terms are scrambled, put them in the correct order from largest to smallest:
Community, Ecosystem, Organims, Population
Organism (smallest)
Population
Community
Ecosystems (largest)
Name the three primary Fossil Fuels
Coal - solid
Petroleum/oil - liquid
Natural Gas/Methane - gas
1. Sunlight turns to heat up on contact with the ground.
2. Gasses in the atmosphere trap the heat.
3. Pollution gasses like smog make the effect stronger
4. The entire planet gets warmer.
Steps 1-4 explain what scientific phenomenon?
The greenhouse effect leading to global warming.
equator
Animals burn stored glucose into ATP. This chemical process is know as cellular ___________.
respiration
Explain the difference between a heterotroph and an autotroph:
Heterotroph = consumers other organisms (eats) to get energy
Autotroph = makes it's own energy
Name three renewable resources
Solar
Wind
Hydroelectric
Geothermal
Biomass
Air pollution coming from a singular location (factory, volcano, crack in the ground)
Point Source Pollution
Altitude is distance from ___________.
Cellular respiration's equation is
C6H12O2 + 6O2 = 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
Explain the difference between the subscripts and the coefficients.
The subscripts tell how many atoms
The coefficients tell how many molecules
Explain the difference between an open system and a closed system
Open system - matter can pass in and out freely
Closed system - matter cannot enter or leave the system
What energy resource is non-renewable, but is not a fossil fuel?
Nuclear
Air pollution that is widespread and not coming from any one particular source
Non-point source pollution
Why don't coastal cities see wild temperature swings?
Global ocean currents carry heat with them making coastal areas warmer than they otherwise would be.
Cellular respiration's equation is:
C6H12O2 + 6O2 = 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
Photosynthesis's equation is:
6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight = C6H12O2 + 6O2
How is this a good example of the Law of Conservation of Mass?
There is the same number of each kind of atom on both sides of the equation
Explain the difference between biotic and abiotic factors
biotic factors - alive or once alive (organic matter)
abiotic factors - were never alive
All of the __________ resources are cheap to obtain, but contribute to pollution.
Non-Renewable
Name two technological innovations (around the industrial revolution) that caused the human population to be able to grow from 1 billion to 8 billion in just 125 years (1900-2025).
Better farming (nitrogen based fertilizer)
Better medicine (germ theory and vaccinations)
Better transportation (steam and gas powered engines)
Better storage of food (refrigeration)
A network of ocean currents the spiral and circle the globe, carrying warmth with them.
The global conveyor belt
Cellular respiration's equation is:
C6H12O2 + 6O2 = 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
How many Oxygen atoms are on either side of the equation?
18
Explain the difference between mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism
Mutualism - both organisms benefit
Commensalism - one benefits, one is not effected
Parasitism - one benefits, one is harmed
The ____________ resources are expensive to set up, but produce (mostly) pollution free energy.
Renewable
What is the kind of population growth that grows faster the bigger a population gets?
(hint x2)
Exponential Growth
Cold air from Canada and warm air from the Gulf of Mexico collide in Oklahoma & Kansas creating what natural disaster common to those two states?
Tornado
