Photosynthesis
The main source of energy for life on earth.
What is the sun.
Liquid water heats up and rises into the sky as water vapor.
What is evaporation.
When CO2 is released into the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels.
What is combustion.
The process of changing nitrogen gas into Ammonia of NH3.
What is nitrogen fixation.
The process where CO2 gets exhaled back into the environment.
What is cellular respiration.
Organisms that get their energy from the sun to produce glucose.
What are autotrophs.
Water vapor turns back into liquid droplets in the clouds.
What is condensation.
When CO2 is taken in by plants to produce energy.
What is photosynthesis.
The process of ammonia gpoing through bacteria to make it nontoxic (turns into nitrates)
What is nitrification.
Organisms that have to eat other organisms to get their energy.
What are heterotrophs.
glucose + oxygen
What are the outputs (products) for photosynthesis.
Water falling from the sky.
What is precipitation.
When heterotrophs eat plants that have released CO2.
What is consumption.
The process of nitrites going through bacteria in the soil and back up into the atmosphere.
What is denitrification.
glucose + oxygen
What are the inputs (reactants) for cellular respiration.
water + carbon dioxide + light energy
What are the inputs (reactants) for photosynthesis.
After water falls to the ground, it flows back into a body of water.
What is run off.
When a plant or animal exhales or gives of CO2 back into the atmosphere.
What is cellular respiration.
The process by which plants absorb nitrates from the soill.
What is assimilation.
water + carbon dioxide + energy (ATP)
What are the outputs (products)for cellular respiration.
Photosynthesis occurs in this organelle in the plant cell.
What is chloroplast.
Water seeping through the layers of the earth that eventually reaches the ocean floor under the ground.
What is seepage.
When dead or decaying substances decompose into soil and CO2 is given off and then used to burn fossil fuels later.
What is decomposition.
The process of converting dead organisms & waste into ammonia.
What is ammonification.
The organelle where cellular respiration occurs.
What is the mitochondria?
