Science 5-4/5-3

Question 1

Carbon Cycle

Answer 1

Carbon is transferred between the ocean, soil, atmosphere, and living things over time

Question 2

Cellular Respiration (CC)

Answer 2

When oxygen is used to change glucose into ATP

Question 3

The 3 main cycles in an ecosystem

Answer 3

Carbon, Nitrogen, Water

Question 4

2 main types of energy involved in the Greenhouse Effect (GE)

Answer 4

Ultraviolet Energy (short wavelength) and Infrared Energy (long wavelength)

Question 5

Decomposition (NC)

Answer 5

Bacteria decompose plants and animals, releasing their nitrogen (as well as carbon) back into the atmosphere and Earth

Question 6

Runoff (WC)

Answer 6

Water moving along the surface of the Earth

Question 7

Photosynthesis (CC)

Answer 7

Plants use Carbon dioxide and the energy from the sun to produce glucose

Question 8

Nitrogen Uptake (Assimilation) (NC)

Answer 8

Organic Nitrogen is absorbed by plants through their roots for their nitrogen needs. Animals consume plants or other animals for their nitrogen uptake

Question 9

Water Cycle

Answer 9

A cycle which the water moves from the ground and into the atmosphere, repeating itself

Question 10

Nitrogen Cycle

Answer 10

A processes where nitrogen moves through both living and nonliving things

Question 11

Evaporation (WC)

Answer 11

Liquid water from oceans, lakes and rivers receive energy from the sun and turn into water vapor, rising into the atmosphere

Question 12

Nitrogen Fixation (NC)

Answer 12

Nitrogen in the atmosphere is turned into ammonium or nitrogen dioxide. This is done mostly by bacteria in soil, some plants, and lightning strikes

Question 13

Condensation (WC)

Answer 13

As the water vapor rises into the atmosphere, it begins to cool and turns back into a liquid form (Clouds)

Question 14

Decomposition (CC)

Answer 14

Organisms breakdown organic material and release CO2 back into the atmosphere

Question 15

3 major greenhouse gases (GE)

Answer 15

Carbon dioxide (CO2), Water Vapor, and Methane

Question 16

Precipitation (WC)

Answer 16

Water falling from the sky in the form of Snow, Sleet, Rain, or Hail

Question 17

Combustion (CC)

Answer 17

Burning wood and fossil fuels releases CO2 into the atmosphere as it radiates

Question 18

The Greenhouse Effect

Answer 18

Greenhouse gases trap the Sun’s heat, also causing the earth to warm up

Question 19

Atmosphere Nitrogen (NC)

Answer 19

There is plenty of nitrogen in the air but most living organisms CANNOT use it

Question 20

Transpiration (WC)

Answer 20

Amount liquid water from plants exits through the leaves and enters the atmosphere
