Q

what happens to the hydrogen bonds in water when it heats and cools?

A

Bonds break as heat is absorbed and reform when heat is released.

11
Q

What process of the Calvin Cycle?

A

Carbon fixation (binds CO2 to RuBP to make 3PGA) Reduction (addign electron from NADPH - converts 3pga to g3p) Regeneration of RUBP to start overs. one of the G3Ps is broken off to make sugar

17
Q

How do bodies of water help the enviroment?

A

help maintain stable temperatures by ABSORBING heat,

18
Q

What are the most common type of plants

A

C3

19
Q

What are the function of pigments?

A

trap light energy to generate ATP

20
Q

What are the temporal plants knwon as?

A

CAM

21
Q

What plants have a really high photorespiration and what do they do when temps get high?

A

C3 Plants / close off their stomatas to allow oxygen buildup but shuts off photosynthesis.

22
Q

How is light measured?

A

Photon waves

23
Q

Where does photosynthesis occur?

A

The chloroplast

24
Q

What is the biogeochemical cycle?

A

the flow of chemicals throughout the ecosystem.
