Vocabulary
What is the difference between climate and weather?
Climate: The prevailing long-term weather conditions found in an area.
Weather: Specific short-term atmospheric conditions of temperature, precipitation, sunlight, and wind.
What percent of the earth is covered in water? (must get within 5%)
71%
Name the inputs and outputs of photosynthesis
Inputs: Carbon dioxide, water, sunlight
Outputs: Oxygen, glucose
Name the inputs and outputs of cellular respiration
Inputs: oxygen, glucose
Outputs: carbon dioxide, water, ATP
What is homeostasis?
The process by which an organism maintains a stable internal environment, even when conditions outside the body change
What are stomata?
Tiny pores on the underside of a leaf that regulate water loss and gas exchange
Name 3 states of matter
Solid, liquid, gas
What is the main purpose of photosynthesis?
Plants are producers and need to make glucose for themselves to break down and use as energy
How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration related?
They are opposite processes. The inputs of one are the outputs of another.
Body temp regulation, water balance, blood glucose regulation, breathing/heart rate, stomata opening and closing, etc.
What is the science that studies the interactions between organisms and their environment?
Ecology
How many bones are in the human body?
206
What is the reverse process of photosynthesis? What process happens in a plant after the glucose is made?
Cellular respiration
Where in the cell does cellular respiration primarily take place?
mitochondria
Fruit ripening, child labor, blood clotting, etc.
This consists of all the organisms in a particular region, along with nonliving components.
Ecosystem
Give five examples of an abiotic factor.
1) Soil Type
2) Temperature
3) Climate
4) Water
5) Wind
What plant organ AND organelle is in charge of photosynthesis?
Organ: leaves/green parts
Organelle: chloroplasts
What is the main purpose of cellular respiration in living organisms?
To convert glucose into ATP for body cells to use as energy
Negative
What is the greenhouse effect?
A process that occurs when gases in Earth's atmosphere trap the Sun's heat. CO2 is a greenhouse gas.
What is the largest organ in the human body?
The skin
What is the FULL equation for photosynthesis?
6 CO2 + 6 H2O + sunlight --> C6H12O6 + 6 O2
What is the FULL equation for cellular respiration?
C6H12O6 + 6 O2 --> 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ATP
A flower attracts a pollinator which, in turn, results in more pollinators visiting the site. Positive or negative feedback?
Positive
