Photosynthesis
This gas is taken in by plants during photosynthesis and is used to make glucose.
What is carbon dioxide?
What is the main purpose of cellular respiration in living organisms?
What is to produce energy from food.
When dead plants and animals decompose, they release carbon back into the soil and atmosphere through this process.
What is decomposition?
In a chemical reaction, the total mass of the input is equal to the total mass of the output. This illustrates this law.
What is the Law of Conservation of Mass?
This type of scientific statement explains a basic principle that always occurs under certain conditions, such as gravity.
What is a law?
This process happens in a plant’s leaves and uses sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create food.
What is photosynthesis?
In what cell structure does most of cellular respiration take place?
What is the mitochondria.
This term describes carbon that has been stored underground for millions of years in the form of coal, oil, or natural gas.
What are fossil fuels?
When a piece of wood burns, the mass of the wood is not lost but is transformed into these substances.
What are gases (such as carbon dioxide) and ash?
This type of scientific explanation is based on evidence and tested repeatedly, but it may change or evolve as new evidence is discovered.
What is a theory?
Name the part of the plant cell where photosynthesis occurs.
What is the chloroplast?
What gas do organisms take in for cellular respiration?
What is oxygen?
This process is used by factories that use fossil fuels and releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere
In a closed system, the total amount of energy before and after a reaction is the same. This is an example of this law.
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?
This organelle functions as a storage compartment.
What is a vacuole?
The green pigment in plants that captures light energy from the Sun.
What is chlorophyll?
This is the name of the sugar molecule broken down during cellular respiration to release energy.
What is glucose?
This is the process by which plants take in carbon dioxide and produce oxygen.
What is photosynthesis?
In an experiment where a candle burns, the mass of the wax and oxygen in the air before and after the candle burns is the same, even though new substances are formed. This demonstrates the principle of this law.
What is the Law of Conservation of Mass?
This organelle contains genetic information.
What is a nucleus?
These are the two main products of photosynthesis.
What are glucose and oxygen?
What is/are the output(s) of cellular respiration?
What is water, carbon dioxide, and chemical energy?
This reservoir stores carbon in icebergs and glaciers.
What is the cryosphere?
When you heat water on a stove, the heat energy transfers to the water, but the total amount of energy remains constant. This is an example of this law in action.
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?
Arrows in food webs represent this process.
What is energy flow?
