The Carbon Cycle Poppy Matless Carbon is present in all living organisms. When organisms die‚ the carbon is recycled for future generations. 1. Carbon is released as CO2 via respiration and combustion 2. CO2 is absorbed by producers (grass‚ plants etc) 3. Animals feed off of the plant‚ passing on carbon throughout the food chain‚ losing some carbon as CO2 respiration. 4. When the animal dies‚ it is eaten by decomposers‚ and the carbon returns to the atmosphere 5. If decomposition

6/7 Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Review 1. _Energy__ is required for transport of certain materials‚ movement‚ growth‚ and reproduction. 2. Define autotroph and heterotroph. Name the organisms that make up each. Autotrophs use the suns energy to produce their food. Heterotrophs consume other organisms to obtain food. Plants Animals 3. ___Sun__ is the ultimate source of energy for all living things on Earth based on the cycle of photosynthesis and cellular respiration. 4. What

When pyruvic acid is changed to acetyl co-A‚ is it being oxidized or reduced? 8. Summarize all of the important products (and their quantities) yielded after one pyruvic acid molecule “leaves” glycolysis and goes through the acetyl co-A formation stage. 9. What is another name for the Krebs cycle? Citric acid cycle 10. How is the 6-carbon

Lab 7 – Cellular Respiration Objectives: • To be able to define cellular respiration and fermentation. • To give the overall balanced equations for aerobic respiration and alcoholic fermentation. • To distinguish between inputs‚ products‚ and efficiency of aerobic respiration and those of fermentation. • Understand the relationship between respiration and photosynthesis. Note: You should perform experiments as described in this handout‚ which are adapted from Starr and

Photosynthesis and Respiration Objectives: In this activity we will review the process of photosynthesis and cellular respiration‚ and become familiar with the use of a pH indicator for investigating these processes. Following this activity your group will generate a new research question about photosynthesis or respiration‚ and utilize the pH indicator system for the experiment that your group will design‚ implement and interpret. Introduction: Photosynthesis is the process by which plants and

SURFIN’ THROUGH STAAR Session 2: Cellular Processes Background Information: Cell Transport When molecules move from a high to low concentration it is called moving DOWN the concentration gradient. When molecules move from a low to high concentration it is called moving AGAINST the concentration gradient. When the concentration of a solute is the same throughout a system‚ the system is at EQUILIBRIUM. What kind of transport DOES NOT require energy? PASSIVE What kind of transport requires

Carbon Cycle Living organisms are significant in the recycling of numerous elements contained in an ecosystem. One of the elements is carbon. Carbon is nonmetal‚ forms over ten million different compounds‚ found in minerals‚ oceans‚ and is the main component of biological compounds. So how do living organisms and their biochemical reactions contribute to the recycling of carbon? Carbon moves through the ecosystem in a cycle‚ in which the living organisms take and release

nature. I will start by describing the carbon cycle and how elements of my lifestyle impact the cycle. Photosynthesis converts the Carbon dioxide gas that exists in the atmosphere and in dissolved water to organic carbon. Organic carbon is brought back into carbon dioxide gas by a process called respiration. There are sources of organic carbon underground in the form of fossil fuels‚ human emissions and volcanic activity brings the stored carbon back into the cycle. As a human being who feed‚ move‚ breath

Topic 9 - The Carbon Cycle Aspects of the carbon cycle are similar to the hydrologic cycle because both are good examples of “Interactions between the systems". Textbook – topic not covered in text. http://www.windows2universe.org/earth/ The Carbon Cycle Neglecting the small amount of carbon (C) added to Earth by meteorite impacts‚ there is a fixed amount of carbon on Earth (~800‚000 billion tonnes). All living things are made of carbon but carbon is also a part of the ocean‚ air‚ and

The carbon cycle is the exchange of carbon among three reservoirs or storage places: the land‚ the oceans‚ and the atmosphere The atmosphere has the least amount of carbon‚ followed by the land with it plants and animals‚ also
