The Cycling of Matter and Energy
Photosynthesis - correct answer-process by which plants and some other
organisms use light energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen
and high-energy carbohydrates such as sugars and starches
Cellular Respiration - correct answer-Process that releases energy by
breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen
cellular respiration equation - correct answer-C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 +
6H2O + ATP
photosyntheis equation - correct answer-carbon dioxide + water + light energy
--> glucose + oxygen
6CO2 + 6H2O--> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Chlorophyll - correct answer-Green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy
used to carry out photosynthesis
Matter - correct answer-Anything that has mass and takes up space
Energy - correct answer-The ability to do work or cause change
Ecosystem - correct answer-A system formed by the interaction of a
community of organisms with their physical environment
Law of Conservation of Energy - correct answer-The law that states that
energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be changed from one form to
another
Law of Conservation of Mass - correct answer-The law that states that mass
cannot be created or destroyed in ordinary chemical and physical changes
Energy Pyramid - correct answer-A diagram that shows the amount of energy
that moves from one feeding level to another in a food web
Water Cycle - correct answer-The continuous process by which water moves
from Earth's surface to the atmosphere and back
