Carbon cycle Flashcards
How did the atmosphere measured in ppm
Carbon dioxide
Burning fuels releasing CO2, coal, oil, wood, gas all hydrocarbons
Combustion
Too much carbon dioxide throughout the atmosphere
Greenhouse effect
Increase of burning fossil fuels
increase in CO2 in atmosphere
Global warming
What are the two destinies of CO2
Co2 - Carbohydrate - consumed - Energy for body fuel
Co2 - Carbohydrate - Consumed - Builds dna/body parts (plants, skin, blood, hair, etc.
Transfer from biotic to abiotic parts of the ecosystem
biogeochemical cycle
What’s the photosynthesis formula
6 CO2 + 6 H2O = light = C6H1206 (glucose) + 6O2 (oxygen)
What’s the cellular respiration formula
C6H12O6 + O2 = 6CO2 + 6H2O
Pigments
