⩥ Types of fluxes. Answer: Photosynthesis, cellular respiration,
consumption, combustion, decomposition, diffusion/dissolving,
biomineralization
⩥ Photosynthesis. Answer: The process by which plants use sunlight to
make sugar from carbon dioxide and water; carbon dioxide is fixed
⩥ cellular respiration. Answer: The process by which cells derive energy
from glucose; carbon dioxide is produced(released into air)
⩥ Do terrestrial plants perform cellular respiration or photosynthesis.
Answer: Both
⩥ Consumption. Answer: Process by which carbon from food goes into
an organism and some is stored to produce ATP through cellular
respiration, some is exhaled as CO2 and some becomes biomass
⩥ Combustion. Answer: Burning; produces carbon dioxide
, ⩥ What kind of life forms are we. Answer: Carbon-based
⩥ Temperature anomaly. Answer: The difference between the long-term
average temperature and the temperature that is actually occurring
⩥ Evolution does not necessarily. Answer: Tend towards complexity
⩥ Mutations occur. Answer: randomly
⩥ What can happen during dna replication. Answer: A base pair change
can change how much of
⩥ Once an advantageous genotype occurs. Answer: It can be selected for
⩥ A mutation that changes just some nucleotides. Answer: Creates an
allele(not a gene)
⩥ Adaptation. Answer: A trait that allows some individuals to survive
and reproduce in certain environments, evolve by genetic change that
occurs over generations in response to natural selection in a population
⩥ Acclimation. Answer: Physiological changes in an Indian that occur
over a short period allowing the individual to thrive in that environment
