Photosynthesis/ cell respiration
What are the overall inputs and outputs of photosynthesis?
In: Water, CO2, and Sunlight
Out: Glucose, Oxygen
Why is carbon important for humans?
It is in the sugar we take in to do cellular respiration and ultimately make energy.
What types of organisms do decomposition?
Bacteria, Fungi, worms, and insects
What type of bond is when one atom takes/ gives electrons to another?
Ionic
Which macromolecule gives short term energy, long term energy?
carbohydrates, lipids
What are the overall inputs and outputs of cellular respiration?
In: Glucose and Oxygen
Out: CO2, Water, ATP
Why is nitrogen important?
Makes up proteins, DNA, and chlorophyll
the process where dead organic matter is broken down into simpler organic or inorganic substances by the activity of decomposers
What type of bond is where electrons are shared equally?
Nonpolar covalent
What elements are found in lipids?
Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen
Explain the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
The products of one are the reactants of the other.
Why is phosphorus important?
It makes up bones/ teeth, DNA, and cell membranes
What is a carbon source? Give an example.
A substance that releases more carbon than it takes in
What type of bond is found between water molecules? Hint: It is a weak attraction
Hydrogen
Explain the relationship between monomers and polymers.
Monomers are single subunits, polymers are many monomers put together.
During glycolysis, what are the key inputs and outputs when one glucose molecule is completely processed?
Inputs: Glucose
Outputs: pyruvate, 2 ATP
What is the primary role of bacteria in the nitrogen cycle?
nitrogen fixation
What makes a zombie fire unique?
What type of bond shares electrons unequally?
Polar covalent bond
Which macromolecule carries out functions in the body? What is its monomer?
Proteins, amino acids
What happens to the six molecules of CO2 taken in during photosynthesis?
They are turned into glucose
Describe at least 5 components of the water cycle.
Evaporation, Transpiration, Condensation, Precipitation, Runoff, Percolation, Groundwater
Why are arctic areas susceptible to zombie fires?
Permafrost and extensive peat deposits
How many valence electrons would there be in carbon?
4
What elements would be found in a protein?
