Photosynthesis uses 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, and 18 oxygen atoms. As a result of photosynthesis, 6 carbon, 12 hydrogen, and 18 oxygen atoms are recombined to form sugar and oxygen. This process proves what concept?
What is the Law of Conservation of Matter
300
What process do plants used carbon dioxide in?
What is photosynthesis?
300
Process where energy is added to water causing the water molecules to gain energy, move faster, and spread apart.
What is evaporation
300
Process that converts atmospheric nitrogen into useable nitrogen?
What is nitrogen fixation
300
Oak, maple, and large grasses are examples of this concept
What is climax species
300
Process by which plants lose water?
What is transpiration
400
Describe how respiration helps with cellular respiration
The process of respiration exchanges carbon dioxide for oxygen, which allows for the oxygen to help break the bonds of sugar to release the energy.
