100
Animals get the carbon and energy they need by eating this.
What are plants?
100

Respiration uses this.

What is oxygen?

100
When humans burn fossil fuels carbon enters the atmosphere in this form.
What is carbon dioxide?
100
The exchange of carbon between the environment and living things is known as this.
What is the carbon cycle?
100

what is the greenhouse gas effect?

Natural process that warms Earth’s surface-Sunlight reaches Earth as solar radiation
Greenhouse gases trap part of the heat, keeping the planet warm

200
During photosynthesis plants use carbon dioxide to make this.
What is sugar?
200

what returns carbon to the ground

what are decomposers?

200

This term describes the uptake of CO₂ by oceans, forests, and soils that partially offsets anthropogenic emissions.(this ones hard sorry)

What is carbon sequestration?

200
The basis of the carbon cycle when plants capture energy from the sun and change it into food.
What is photosynthesis?
200

what is one way the carbon cycle relates to VOC's

  • Human activities add extra VOCs from fossil fuels and industry.

  • VOC oxidation in the atmosphere converts them into CO₂ and other products.

  • VOCs affect greenhouse gases through ozone and methane chemistry.

300
Plants get the carbon dioxide from this.
What is air?
300
These are the two byproducts of respiration.
What are carbon dioxide and water?
300

If atmospheric CO₂ increases, what changes would you expect in ocean chemistry?

What is pH?

300
The process of burning a substance.
What is combustion?
300

what does the burning of fossil fuels and biomass release?

what are: CO₂ (complete combustion)

CO (incomplete combustion)

400

What is the largest carbon sink 

What is the ocean?

400
Respiration uses food and oxygen to create this.
What is chemical energy?
400

This compound forms when CO₂ reacts with seawater and is responsible for reducing carbonate ion availability for shell-building organisms.

What is carbonic acid (H₂CO₃)?

400
The breakdown of substances into simpler molecules.
What is decomposition?
400

How is limestone formed

What is shells and skeletons made of CaCO₃ sink and form limestone and other carbonate rocks?

500

3 ways humans interfere with the carbon cycle?

What are 

1. Burning Fossil Fuels

2. Deforestation

3. Industrial Agriculture and Livestock Production

500

These organisms, including phytoplankton and algae, are responsible for nearly half of global carbon fixation. (I'm sorry this isn't art respiration but I'm running out of questions here)

What are marine producers?

500

How can the carbon cycle create a positive feedback loop?

What is: global warming -->ice melting-->less albedo -->more heat

500
Exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between living cells and their environment is this.
What is respiration?
500

explain the steps of the carbon cycle

1. Atmospheric Carbon

2. Photosynthesis

3. Consumption and Food Web Transfer

4. Respiration

5. Decomposition

6. Combustion

7. Ocean Uptake

8. Sedimentation and Rock Formation

9. Geological Processes

10. Human Influence
