What is chlorophyll?
200

In which organelle does aerobic respiration take place?

What is the mitochondrion (the powerhouse of the cell)

200

What role do decomposers play in nutrient cycles?

What are They break down organic matter and return nutrients to the soil, air, and water?

200
Who goes through the process of photosynthesis?
What are plants (producers) and some bacteria?
200

If I keep a plant locked up in my closet (no windows) and expose it to artificial light it will photosynthesize

TRUE

300

A __________  is an ecosystem that has collapsed: central functions have ceased.

What are Deadzones?

300

What gas is consumed and what gas is released during cellular respiration?

What is Oxygen is consumed, carbon dioxide is released. 

300

Which process converts atmospheric nitrogen (N₂) into usable forms for plants?

What is Nitrogen fixation?

300
Chlorophyll is green because_______________
What is: Chlorophyll absorbs all other colors (red, orange, yellow, blue, indigo, and violet), but reflects green.
300

Aquatic Plants go through photosynthesis.

TRUE

400
The process by which glucose and oxygen break down to release stored energy is called________________.
What is cellular respiration?
400

What molecule is the main energy currency produced by cellular respiration?/What happens to glucose during cellular respiration?
 

What is ATP?
What is It is broken down to release energy, forming CO₂ and H₂O.

400

How do human activities disrupt nutrient cycles?

What is Fertilizer use, deforestation, agriculture, industrial emissions, wastewater discharge, fossil fuel combustion, and soil erosion. 

400

________ Nutrients are those that are scarce
enough that they limit growth: if the organism
runs out, it can't keep growing (or thriving)

What are Limited Nutrients?
eg Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P)

400

What is sugar?
500

How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration connected in the carbon cycle?

What is The products of photosynthesis (glucose and oxygen) are the reactants for respiration, and the products of respiration (CO₂ and water) are the reactants for photosynthesis.
