Respiration
What part of the Babool tree absorbs sunlight for photosynthesis?
The leaves
What gas is taken in by the Babool leaves during photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide (CO₂).
What energy do leaves capture from sunlight?
Light energy
What part of a tree absorbs water and minerals from the soil?
The roots.
What makes Babool wood valuable?
A) Soft texture B) Durability C) Fragrance D) Color
B) Durability
How is glucose used in Cellular Respiration?
It's broke down in mitocondria by oxygen then converted by ATP/ Carbon dixode / Water
What process returns CO₂ to the atmosphere in the carbon cycle?
Cellular respiration
What molecule stores the energy made during photosynthesis?
Glucose
What is the main function of the tree trunk?
To transport water and nutrients upward through the xylem.
What is one way the Babool tree benefits soil?
It releases sugar B) It fixes nitrogen C) It removes oxygen D) It produces salt
B) It fixes nitrogen
Why does the population of other consumers decrease in the same way when the population of plants decreases?
This is because of the glucose produced by plants. Plants generate glucose through photosynthesis, which animals and humans consume and obtain energy from. So as the number of plants decreases, so does the number of other consumers.
What are the main inputs and outputs of the Babool tree's photosynthesis?
Inputs: CO₂, water, sunlight.
Outputs: glucose, oxygen.
Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space, such as atoms, molecules, and the physical structures of organisms.
Energy is the capacity to do work or cause change, and it flows through an ecosystem, powering all biological processes like growth, movement, and metabolism
How do leaves contribute to a tree’s survival?
They capture sunlight and perform photosynthesis.
Which part of the Babool tree helps heal wounds?
A) Gum and bark B) Roots C) Flowers D) Thorns
A) Gum and bark
How is sunlight turned into chemical energy?
Chloroplasts use light energy to create glucose through ATP.
Special question: Whole table
Say all the spheres you know. The score will go to the team that spoke the most.
Geosphere (Lithosphere / Asthenosphere)
Hydrosphere (Oceanosphere / Cryosphere / Groundwater sphere / Freshwater sphere)
Atmosphere (Troposphere / Stratosphere / Mesosphere / Thermosphere / Exosphere)
Biosphere ( Terrestrial biosphere / Aquatic biosphere / Microbial biosphere / Eco-sphere)
What happens to matter during photosynthesis and respiration?
It cycles between CO₂, water, oxygen, and glucose
The step of photosynthesis is how it makes glucose.
In leaves, chloroplasts absorb sunlight & roots absorb water --> Light energy splits water into hydrogen & oxygen( Oxygen is released) --> In this process, ATP is out --> This ATP helps fix carbon dioxide, which comes inside through stomata --> Carbon dioxide is changed into glucose
What is one social or cultural role of the Babool tree?
A) Symbol of divine protection B) Used as food C) Worshiped only by farmers D) None
A) Symbol of divine protection
How are photosynthesis and respiration connected?
Photosynthesis fixes CO₂ to make glucose.
In respiration, CO₂ is released from glucose.
Explain how carbon moves through Earth’s spheres. (Explain 1 sphere=100 / 2 sphere=200 / 3 sphere = 300 / 4 sphere=400 / Explain connection between sphere = Bonus point (+ 150)
What is the main difference between energy and matter flow?
Energy flows one way, but matter cycles continuously.
How do energy and matter move through a tree?
Energy flows from sunlight to glucose; matter (including water, CO₂, and O₂) cycles within the system.
What is one economic use of the Babool tree?
A) Produces fuelwood and gum B) Used only for decoration C) Consumed as fruit D) No economic use
A) Produces fuelwood and gum
