Water Cycle
What is precipitation.
Carbon in the atmosphere is most often in this form.
What is carbon dioxide?
This gas taken in by plants
What is carbon dioxide?
This gas is taken in by animals.
What is oxygen?
Name the four main spheres of the Earth.
Atmosphere, Hydrosphere, Lithosphere/Geosphere, Biosphere
When water vapor turns into a cloud.
What is condensation?
Carbon dioxide is this type of a gas.
What is a greenhouse gas?
The reactants of photosynthesis.
What is water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight?
What are oxygen and glucose?
Which process moves water from the hydrosphere to the atmosphere?
Evaporation
When water flows back to the ocean.
What is runoff?
True or false: all carbon in the atmosphere comes from natural sources.
False
The products of photosynthesis.
What are glucose and oxygen.
The products of photosynthesis.
What are water, carbon dioxide, and ATP?
In the carbon cycle, which process adds carbon dioxide to the atmosphere?
Respiration or combustion.
When water turns into a gas from the leaves of plants.
What is transpiration?
True or false: As the amount of carbon dioxide in the air increases, Earth's temperature also increases.
True
The formula for photosynthesis.
What is 6CO2 + 6 H20 -> C6H12O6 + 6 O2?
The formula for respiration.
What is C6H12O6 + 6 O2 -> 6 H20 + 6 CO2 + ATP
What do decomposers release back into the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide.
When ice turns into a gas
What is sublimation?
True or false: Carbon dioxide is the only greenhouse gas.
False
Plants use photosynthesis to create this energy storage molecule.
What is glucose (sugar)?
Animals get their energy from this.
Explain how the biosphere and atmosphere interact during photosynthesis and respiration.
Plants (biosphere) take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere for photosynthesis and release oxygen. Animals and plants use that oxygen for respiration and release carbon dioxide back to the atmosphere.
