Carbon Cycle
What is a carbon sink?
Something that stores carbon
What process do plants use to take in carbon dioxide from the air?
Photosynthesis
What is cancer?
Uncontrollable cell division
What Phases Make Up Interphase.
G1, S, G2
What Does Aerobic Mean?
With oxygen
What is missing: Atmosphere, Geosphere, Hydrosphere, ____________
Biosphere
What are the reactants for photosynthesis?
Light (energy), Water (H2O), and CO2
What does a benign tumor mean?
During which phase of mitosis do the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell?
Metaphase
What are the inputs for cellular respiration?
Glucose, O2
What form of carbon do plants release when they decay or burn?
Carbon dioxide
What are the outputs of photosynthesis
Glucose and Oxygen
What is a carcinogen?
Something that causes cancer
What phase comes right before mitosis begins?
Interphase
What is the powerhouse of the cell?
The Mitochondria
When a carbon sink absorbs CO2, what is the carbon stored as?
What is the equation for photosynthesis?
Light + 6H2O + 6CO2 --> C6H12O6 + 6O2
What gene works to decrease the risk for cancer?
P53
What is the final step of cell division called, when the cytoplasm splits?
Cytokinesis
What product from photosynthesis is used during cellular respiration?
Glucose
This carbon-rich material forms when plant matter doesn’t fully decay in wet, oxygen-poor environments like bogs. It stores large amounts of carbon and can release it when burned or drained.
What is peat
Where does photosynthesis take place in the plant cell?
Chloroplast
What cell can spread throughout the body?
Malignant cell
Which of the following best describes what happens when checkpoint control fails?
The cell divides uncontrollably and may form cancer
What is the reason that cells need to make ATP constantly?
To give the cell energy.
