Photosynthesis
Animals get the carbon and energy they need by eating this.
Plants
Plant respiration produces this gas
Oxygen
When humans burn fossil fuels carbon enters the atmosphere in this form.
Carbon dioxide?
How many oceans are there?
5
The exchange of carbon between the environment and living things is known as this.
The carbon cycle
Is photosynthesis part of the long of short term carbon cycle?
Short term
Human respiration produces this gas
Carbon dioxide
What are three types of fossil fuels?
Coal, oil and natural gas.
What is the current dominant world superpower?

Photosynthesis
Plants get the carbon for photosynthesis from this.

Why did Russia place a flag under the ice at the North Pole
To claim the land/ resources/ fossil fuels found there
Define a Megacity
Population of 10 million or more
The process of burning a substance.
What is combustion?
During photosynthesis plants use carbon dioxide to make these 2 things.
Energy/glucose/sugar and oxygen
Lightness or darkness is needed in respiration - True or False?
FALSE - neither are needed
Cutting this plant to use for fuel releases large amounts of sequestered carbon into the atmosphere. It is commonly found in northern Europe and Russia.

Sunlight, carbon dioxide, water
