Ecosystem Organisms
This is where the abiotic form of carbon (Carbon Dioxide) is found
What is Air?
This is the liquid used in photosynthesis.
What is water?
These 3 things are needed to carry out photosynthesis.
What are water, sunlight and carbon (carbon dioxide)?
This is moved from biotic to abiotic matter during cellular respiration.
What is carbon?
Photosynthesis reduces this gas in the atmosphere.
What is carbon dioxide?
This is an example of a biotic part of an ecosystem.
What is -------? (anything that is/was alive)
This is the energy source for photosynthesis.
What is the sun?
This is a process that happens only in producers.
What is photosynthesis?
This is the energy source for photosynthesis.
What is the sun?
These organisms give off carbon dioxide.
What are producers, consumers, and decomposers? (or all living organisms)
an organism that needs to eat to get energy storage molecules
What is a consumer?
This is the energy storage molecule produced during photosynthesis.
What is glucose?
This is the chemical reaction between oxygen and glucose that releases energy into cells.
What is cellular respiration?
These are the products of photosynthesis and what is necessary for cellular respiration.
What are glucose and oxygen?
This gas is necessary for cellular respiration.
What is oxygen?
an organism that can make it's own energy storage molecules
What is a producer?
This is the organelle in plant cells that carries out photosynthesis.
What is the chloroplast?
Name two different types of energy storage molecules.
What are glucose, fat, starch, and/or glycogen?
Give an example of something in an ecosystem that does NOT give off carbon dioxide on its own
What is dead matter? (ex: dead leaves)
Cellular respiration produces this gas.
What is carbon dioxide?
an organism that gets energy storage molecules by breaking down dead matter.
What is a decomposer?
This is moved from abiotic to biotic matter during photosynthesis.
What is carbon?
This is the organelle where cellular respiration takes place.
What is the mitochondrion/mitochondria?
Plants do more of this process to ensure ESMs can be transferred to the rest of the ecosystem.
What is photosynthesis?
These are the three elements found in all energy storage molecules (two of them are gases in their elemental form).
What are carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
