Ecology - Task 4

Question 1

Cellular respiration

Answer 1

A process that releases energy from organic molecules, especially carbohydrates, in the presence of oxygen.

Question 2

Fermentation

Answer 2

A process that releases energy from organic molecules especially carbohydrates in the absence of oxygen.

Question 3

Greenhouse gases

Answer 3

Atmospheric gases they prevent heat from leaving the atmosphere, thus increasing the temperature of the atmosphere.

Question 4

Greenhouse effect

Answer 4

The warming of earth as result of greenhouse gases, which trap some energy that would otherwise leave earth.

Question 5

Acid precipitation

Answer 5

Rain, snow, or fog are unnaturally acidic due to gases in the atmosphere that react with water to form acids.

Question 6

Biosphere

Answer 6

The regions of earth where living organisms exist.

Question 7

Photosynthesis

Answer 7

The process of turning solar energy into chemical energy.

Question 8

Photosynthesis formula

Answer 8

light energy + 6CO2 + 6H2O = C6 H12 O6 + 6O2

Question 9

Cellular respiration formula

Answer 9

C6 H12 O6 + 6O2 = 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy

Question 10

Cellular respiration word formula

Answer 10

Glucose + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water + energy

Question 11

Photosynthesis word formula

Answer 11

light energy + carbon dioxide + water = glucose + oxygen
