Carbon exists in what?
200
The middle of the stream, so that you don't get all the Sediment
Where should transparency be measured from?
200
When something happens a negative feed back loop makes it harder to happen again
What is a Negative feedback loop
200
A Nucleus which is located at the center of the atom and contains atoms and neutrons. A energy field which is located around the nucleus contains all the electrons
What the structure of an atom?
300
Oxygen
what does Bacteria absorb?
300
Respiration- The release of CO2 through breathing, by plants, animals, and most bacteria Combustion- burning of fossil fuels Deforestation- Slash and burn rain forest removal Diffusion- allows carbon to transfer in and out of the ocean by movement of atoms from higher to lower concentrations.
How is carbon released in the atmosphere?
300
The Sun
When reading the transparency What should be behind you?
300
in rugby when a team scores points, they start with the ball again.
What is an example of a Positive feedback loop?
300
a variation of an atom that has gained or lost neutrons resulting in a different mass.
What is an isotope?
400
Lightning and bacteria
What breaks up nitrogen?
400
Photosynthesis- Plants absorb sunlight and CO2 from the atmosphere to make sugars. Diffusion
How is carbon removed from the atmosphere?
400
Transparency should be recorded when all of the target is seen
When should transparency be recorded?
400
Mario kart is an example because if your in the back you get a rocket to boost you up to the middle of the pack, if your in front someone behind you will get a blue shell that will knock you back to the middle of the pack.
What is an example of a negative feedback loop?

500
Food Chain- Humans and animals get their carbon through eating plants. Fossil Fuels- Over time(millions of years) Heat and pressure can transform decayed plant material into fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gases
What are some other Carbon transfers?
500
Excessive Fertilizer
What are some causes of excessive algae growth
500
If you studied well you'll get a good grade on your test, but if you didn't study well you, most likely, will not get a good grade and that will encourage you to do better on your next test
What is an example of a scenario where bothe feed back loops happen?
500
Non- metals- Low shine/dull; poor conductor; breakable/brittle; tend to gain electrons. Metelloids- Share properties with both metals and non-metals; shiny or dull; solids Noble gases- All part of group 8; Full outer shell; naturally occur in gas phase
Characterize all three classifications of the periodic tabel of elements
