Sun Sun Sun!
Where all energy originates
The sun
The carbon compound produced by aerobic cellular respiration (with chemical formula)
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
The process of converting stored energy (glucose) into usable energy
Cellular respiration
A word used to describe all of the gases (air) in the Earth's systems
Atmosphere
The three parts of an input-output model (with explanations)
Inputs--ingredients/what's being used/what goes in
Process and location--what's happening to the inputs and where
Outputs--products/what's being produced/what comes out of the process
The outputs of photosynthesis
Glucose
Oxygen
(Water)
The process where light energy is converted into stored chemical energy
Photosynthesis
The carbon compound produced by photosynthesis (with chemical formula)
Glucose (C6H12O6)
The chemical name for "usable energy"
ATP
The word used to describe all life on Earth
Biosphere
The inputs for aerobic cellular respiration
Glucose and oxygen
The outputs of aerobic cellular respiration
(More) ATP
Water
Carbon dioxide
These organisms convert light energy into stored chemical energy
Plants/Producers/Autotrophs
The process where the carbon in dead organisms is recycled
Decomposition
Where energy is produced in the cells
Mitochondria
The word used to describe all of the water in the Earth's systems
Hydrosphere
The inputs for anaerobic cellular respiration
Glucose
The outputs of anaerobic cellular respiration
Less ATP
Lactic Acid
Chloroplasts
The reason it is important to specify "carbon dioxide" instead of "carbon"
Carbon is in most things! Carbon is very different from carbon dioxide
The word fragment that tells you whether oxygen is being used in the process of creating usable energy
"Aero-" (vs. "anaero-")
The word used to describe all of the rocks/ground/earth in the Earth's systems
Geosphere
The inputs for photosynthesis
Carbon dioxide
Water
(Sunlight)
The source of the burning sensation in your muscles during intense exercise
Lactic acid
