Photosynthesis
What is the chemical formula for photosynthsis?
CO2 + H20 ---> C6H12O6 + O2
What is the chemical formula for cellular respiration?
C6H12O6 + O2 ----> CO2 + H2O ATP
Where does the earth's energy originate from?
The sun
What is a carbon pool?
a place that can store, release, or accumulate carbon
What is a heterotroph?
An organism that relies on other organisms for food
What are the reactants for photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide and Water
What are the products of cellular respiration?
CO2 + H2O ENERGY
What is an autotroph?
An organism that creates its own food.
A producer
Does photosynthesis
List three different carbon pools
Ocean, atmosphere, soil, sediment, fossil fules, organic matter
What trophic level is positivly affected by the prinary consumer dying?
The producer/ autotroph
What happens to the glucose that is produced in photosynthesis? (2 things)
Growth or energy
to make energy (ATP)
How much energy moves through a trophic level?
10%
How does Carbon travel in the atmosphere compared to the lithosphere?
It can get trapped in the lithosphere and in the atmosphere is cycles around.
What is the difference between a food web and a food chain?
Food webs are made up of several food chains.
What is the light capturing chemical in leaves?
Chlorophyll
How do organisms that do not have oxygen available obtain energy?
Through anaerobic respiration
What happes to the rest of the energy in a trophic level that is not passed on?
Lost as heat
lost during metabolic processes
What is the role of photosynthesis in Carbon cycle?
Converts CO2 to glucose
Name the trophic level above the secondary consumer
tertiary consumer
Where in the cell of the leaf does photosynthesis take place?
Chloroplast
What is the byproduct of human anaerobic respiration?
Lactic Acid
Does energy in an energy pyrimad ever move backwards?
No- only forward
What are two human impacts on the Carbon cycle?
Buring fossil fuels, transportation, deforestation...
How does biodiversity relate to ecosystems health?
The more organisms, the helathier the ecosystem is.
