The Carbon Cycle Review

Photosynthesis

100

Name two things plants "bring in" to start the process of photosynthesis.

Carbon Dioxide & Water

200

This organelle in a plant cell performs the "magic trick" of turning CO2 and water into food.

Chloroplast

300

During photosynthesis, solar energy is stored in these new molecules

Glucose (Chemical Energy)

Respiration

100

Name the specific organelle where respiration happens to release stored energy

Mitochondria

200

These are the two "inputs" humans and animals need to start the process of respiration.

Glucose (food) & oxygen

300

Respiration rearranges atoms to create these two "output" products.

Water & Carbon Dioxide

The Water Cycle

100

This process occurs when liquid water changes to a gas because of heat from sunlight.

Evaporation

200

This is the name for the process where plants release extra water through their leaves.

Transpiration

300

This layer of the atmosphere is where water vapor moves and eventually condenses into liquid.

Troposphere

Ecosystems & Atoms

100

An ecosystem is an area that contains these two types of "things" (living and non-living)

Biotic and Abiotic

200

These two things are constantly moved around the ecosystem through different processes.

Atoms & Energy

300

This is the primary source that adds energy to the ecosystem to keep the cycle going.

The Sun 

Mixed Bag

100

This gas is produced by plants during photosynthesis and is required by humans to survive.

Oxygen

200

This specific substance inside the chloroplast is what actually rearranges the atoms.

Chlorophyll

300

This term describes the continuous cycle where plants make food/oxygen and animals make CO2/water.
