water cycle
What is necessary for all life processes of all living things?
Water or H20
What is the difference between combustion and consumption?
Consummation is when animals eat plants or other animals while combustion is the burning fossil fuels that releases CO2
What can nitrogen be used to make?
DNA and proteins
What is the greenhouse effect?
The normal warming effect when gas is trapped in the atmosphere
What is a carbon footprint?
The amount of carbon we use and the effects on the environment
What are examples of where water is found?
Earth's surface, Under earth's surface, atmosphere, living organisms.
What are some things carbon is found in? Give at least 2 examples
Atmosphere, living organisms, fossil fuels, ocean, and rocks
What is nitrogen found in?
What is two pros of agricultural technology?
Contour farming, Fertilizers, irrigation system and frame machinery.
How can humans threaten biodiversity?
habit destruction, pollution, introduction of invasive species
What is two ways humans impact the water cycle?
Deforestation, Paving/Building, Eutrophication
How do humans impact the carbon cycle?
Combustion
What are the impacts of the nitrogen cycle?
Organism: cycle can't function without bacteria
human: use of fertilizer
What are the pros of alternative energy technology?
decreased burning, or fossil fuels, used renewable sources
How does combustion contribute to global warming?
Combustion releases extra CO2 in the atmosphere which increases the amount of greenhouse gases increases earth's whole temperature
List all of the stages in this cycle?
Perticipation, Infiltration, Aquifer, Runoff, Evaporation, Condensation, transportation.
What are all of the main stages of the carbon cycle?
Decomposition, Fossilization
What is a usable form of N2 once it is converted?
Ammonia
What are the cons of industrial Technology?
CFC's Deletes the ozone layer, produces acid rain and increases greenhouse gases.
What gases can be trapped in the atmosphere?(Greenhouse effect)
CO2, O2, CH4, H2O
What are two ways organisms effect the water cycle?
Plants take in water to make sugar(Photosynthesis)
All organisms release water when breaking down food for energy cellular respiration.
What is the scientific equation for photosynthesis?
6CO2+6H2O+ light energy=C6H1206+6O2
What are the stages of the nitrogen cycle?
nitrogen fixation, nitrification, assimilation, consumption, ammonification, and decomposition.
What is the effect of acid rain?
It causes changes in PH levels like in water and soil.
what is an example of a nonnative species that harms an ecosystem?
water hyacinth
