What is Charles Darwin famous for?
Understanding that over long periods of time, living organisms will evolve/change to suit their environment.
Describe how carbon is cycled through the environment
Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through their leaves and convert it into sugars through photosynthesis. Organisms eat plants and convert the sugars into energy through respiration, and release carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere. Dead organisms are decomposed by bacteria and fungi which also releases carbon dioxide into atmosphere.

Water is absorbed through the roots, travels up the xylem, and passes out of the stomates in the leaves.
it is called translocation.

Outline the 4 different experimental variables
Independent - variable which is changed
Dependent - variable which is measured
Constant - variables which are kept the same
Control - used as a benchmark or a point of comparison against which other test results are measured
