Processes
The location where photosynthesis occurs inside a plant
chloroplast
6 essential elements for all living things
CHONPS
In which state of matter would you find MOST carbon in the atmosphere
gas
The gas that traps heat energy from the sun
CO2
The formula for cellular respiration
Glucose + Oxygen --> CO2 + H2O + Energy (ATP)
Monomer of a protein
amino acid
Process that sinks carbon
photosynthesis
What are some solutions to climate change?
Answers will vary
Chemical formula for photosynthesis
6 CO2 + 6 H2O → C6H12O6 + 6 O2
Type of polysaccharide found in a plant's cell wall
cellulose
Fossil fuels were formed when this process did not fully complete...
decomposition
What process has lead to the most CO2 emissions
combustion (burning fossil fuels)
The location where light energy from the sun is converted to chemical potential energy in photosynthesis
inside the bonds of glucose
Identify which is a biological molecule found in plants
Molecule 1
state 3 processes that are carbon sources
combustion, cellular respiration, decomposition
Draw the greenhouse effect and describe what is happening
CO2 is a greenhouse gas. When the sun’s light energy reaches earth, it converts to heat energy. The heat energy is trapped on earth by the greenhouse gases, causing global temperatures to increase.
What process is happening in this closed system based on the data shown in the chart
Cellular Respiration
Identify two ways that plants can use monosaccharides, such as glucose, within their cells
2) bonded together to make polysaccharides 1) broken down to produce ATP
How do humans contribute to the carbon cycle?
Multiple Answers
Describe how a wildfire leads to a positive feedback loop
Fire → release of CO2 → CO2 in atmosphere → heat energy from the sun being trapped → increase in global temperature → more fires
