Vocabulary Terms to Know Chapter 3 • Ecosystem- A particular location on Earth distinguished by its mix of interacting biotic and abiotic components. • Producers/ Autotrophs-organisms that use the energy of the Sun to produce usable forms of energy • photosynthesis- the process by which producers use solar energy to convert CO2 and water into glucose. • cellular respiration- the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy‚ carbon dioxide‚ and water. •

amount of the Earth’s freshwater (0.003%) is contained within biological bodies and manufactured products.[2]Water on Earth moves continually through the water cycle of evaporation and transpiration (evapotranspiration)‚ condensation‚ precipitation‚ and runoff‚ usually reaching the sea. Evaporation and transpiration contribute to the precipitation over land. Water used in the production of a good or service is known as virtual water. Safe drinking water is essential to humans and other lifeforms

9.1.2 3 difference between monocots and dicots 3 differences between monocots and dicots 1. Monocots have parallel venations along their leaf 2. Dicot roots have X-shaped xylem whereas monocots are organized into a ring 3. Dicot stem xylem form a ring around the outside whereas monocot xylems are scattered 9.1.3 Distribution of tissues in leaves and functions In the leaf you have xylem and phloem tissues. Xylem tissues act like transport tubes‚ transporting water and minerals. Phloem tissues

There has been debate over the present-day characteristics of the biome of tropical regions. For some they are viewed as a natural response to the climate of the area. Whereas for others they are regarded as a product of human interferences. Discuss this statement in the context of the biome you have studied. The Amazon rainforest is affected by both human interference such as deforestation as well as the climate contributing to global warming and causing both harm and extinction towards the species

some of the water may evaporate back into the atmosphere or 2) the water may penetrate the surface and become groundwater. Groundwater either seeps its way to into the oceans‚ rivers‚ and streams‚ or is released back into the atmosphere through transpiration. The balance of water that remains on the earth’s surface is runoff‚ which empties into lakes‚ rivers and streams and is carried back to the oceans‚ where the cycle begins again. Lake effect snowfall is good example of the hydrologic cycle at

CHAPTER ONE 1.1 Introduction Earth is the water planet with more than two-thirds of its surface covered by water. Most of life on Earth is also primarily composed of water; our cells‚ and those of plants and animals are composed of approximately 70 percent water. Vast quantities of water also cycle through the Earth ’s atmosphere‚ oceans‚ land‚ and biosphere over both short and long time scales. This grand cycling of water is called the hydrologic cycle. Precipitation‚ evaporation
