Photosynthesis/Cellular Respiration
Name 2 inputs or things that "go into" Photosynthesis.
sun, water, CO2
Give an example of precipitation.
rain, snow, sleet
What does the arrow mean in a food chain?
Energy
An organism that creates its own energy using photosynthesis
producer
Does photosynthesis or cellular respiration use the sun to make energy?
photosynthesis
glucose
What breaks down nitrogen so that it is usable by plants?
bacteria
Is a secondary consumer the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd consumer in a food chain?
An organism that gets its energy by eating other organisms
consumer
What is glucose?
sugar
Photosynthesis outputs
glucose & oxygen
What is evaporation?
Evaporation is the process by which liquid water turns into water vapor due to heat, usually from the sun. It is a key part of the water cycle.
Does a food chain or a food web have more biodiversity?
food web
The number of living things in an area
population
How can students increase the numbers of oysters in the Chesapeake Bay?
Reducing pollution, volunteering to clean up beaches, participating in Oyster Restoration Programs
What performs photosynthesis and what performs cellular respiration?
producers (plants) and plants/animals
Where is underground water stored?
What percent of energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next? (What percent of energy gets transferred from the producer to the primary consumer?)
10%
Is the tertiary consumer in a food chain the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd consumer?
3rd
a green pigment found in plants, algae, and some bacteria that absorbs light energy for photosynthesis, allowing them to produce food
Chlorophyll
Cellular respiration uses sugar (glucose) and oxygen and releases what?
water, CO2, ATP
In the Carbon Cycle, what do we call a gas in the atmosphere that traps heat from the sun, preventing it from escaping into space and causing the Earth's temperature to rise?
greenhouse gases
Is a producer or a consumer always the first in a food chain (1st trophic level)?
producer
When too much (an overabundance) of algae and plants in water bodies leads to oxygen depletion and "dead zones"
eutrophication
Which part of the plant absorbs CO2, the roots or holes in the leaves?
stomata (holes in leaves)
