Climate Change
The gas that is released by burning coal and oil (fossil fuels)?
What is Carbon Dioxide?
Greenhouse gas that is the BIGGEST contributor to HUMAN-CAUSED global warming?
Carbon Dioxide
An organism that can make its own food.
What is a Plant?
The location inside a plant cell where photosynthesis takes place.
What are Chloroplasts
Gases in the atmosphere that trap heat
What are greenhouse gases?
The layer of gases that surrounds the planet
What is the Atmosphere?
The gas plants take in during photosynthesis
What is Carbon Dioxide?
What are the 3 main ingredients for photosynthesis (a.k.a. reactants)?
Carbon dioxide, water, sunlight (driving force)
As the suns energy reaches Earth, some of it gets reflected back to space. This process traps some of the heat in the atmosphere, keeping earth warm and habitable.
What is the Greenhouse Effect?
Greenhouse gas emitted by cows, and the second-largest contributor to climate warming after carbon dioxide.
Methane (CH4)
The gas plants release during photosynthesis
O2 (Oxygen)
What is the chemical formula for glucose?
C6H12O6
A natural, non-human event that puts carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
What are Volcanic eruptions
A long-term shift in the typical weather patterns in an area, resulting in more extreme and unpredictable weather events.
What is Climate Change?
A simple sugar that is an important energy source in living organisms.
What is Glucose?
What do you call the pigment that fills chloroplasts and absorb light?
Chlorophyll
The increase in global temperatures over the past 150 years primarily caused by human activity.
What is Global Warming?
The most abundant gas in the atmosphere.
What is Nitrogen?
The process in which producers use sunlight (light energy) to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (chemical energy)
What is photosynthesis?
Why makes green plants green.
All colours of the light spectrum are absorbed except for green whcih is reflected. The Chlorophill is green.
