4.2 Flashcards
Nitrogen Fixation
Bacteria that takes atmospheric nitrogen and changes it into energy plants can use
Nitrification
The process of combining or filling with nitrogen or one of its compunds
Detrification
Nitrates –> back to atmosphere as nitrogen gas
Photosynthesis outputs
Oxygen and glucose
Photosynthesis inputs
Light, carbon dioxide, and water
Cellular Resperation (CR) outpouts
energy in form of ATP
CR inputs
glucose and oxygen
Organisims that perform the processes of photosynthesis and CR
Plant cells + bateria and algea
Humans effecting carbon and nitrogen cycles?
Burning of fossil fuels and deforestation
BTB yellow?
Carbon
BTB blue?
Less carbon
Predict how BTB will change color in a test tube depending upon light
Green after being placed in the light because the plant would remove CO2 by photosynthesis; yellow after being placed in the dark because the plant would release CO2 by respiration.
