photosynthesis
What organisms perform photosynthesis?
Plants
respiration uses what molecules to produce energy
oxygen & glucose
when humans burn fossil fuels carbon enters the atmosphere in this form
carbon dioxide
True or False:All organisms decompose in the same way
false
What is CO2
Carbon Dioxide
when carbon go's into a plant, it produces what carbon containing molecule
glucose
these are the two byproducts of respiration
carbon dioxide and water
Name two types of fossil fuels
wood, charcoal or gasoline
these two organisms are the main things that decompose organic matter
fungi and bacteria
Photosynthesis
Process by which plants turn water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide into water, oxygen, and glucose
plants get carbon dioxide from this
the atmosphere
how do plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen
Through photosynthesis
these chemical reactions gives off this
heat
list two scavengers that contribute to decomposition
dogs,wolves,foxes,rats,crows, and vultures
Respiration
The breakdown of glucose using oxygen to produce energy and release carbon dioxide
this is the main pigment used in photosynthesis.
chlorophyll
What is required for respiration, light or complete darkness?
Neither
these are the two reactants of combustion
fuel and oxygen
When fungi and bacteria break down organic matter these two substances are returned to the environment
carbon dioxide and water
Name 3 different form of Carbon in the Carbon Cycle
Carbon Dioxide, Fossil Fuels, Glucose, Rocks/Minerals, Organic Matter/Biomass
how does deforestation affect the atmosphere?
Increases CO2 levels, and raises temperature
what is root respiration
the carbon dioxide (Co2) formed is then released into the soil,diffusing through the pores into the atmosphere
this is the chemical that is formed during a combustion reaction
carbon monoxide
Decomposition releases carbon into which Earth spheres?
Geosphere and atmosphere
Adenosine Triphosphate
The type of energy created by respiration, also known as ATP
