Water Cycle
All cells need water to dissolve oxygen and nutrients (cytoplasm).
Parts of water cycle
1.Evaporation- Liquid form to gas form
2.Condensation- Gas to liquid
3.Precipitation- Water returning to the surface
4. Transpiration- Water loss by plants
5.Lake- Fresh, 1% of Earths water
6.Run-off- Flowing over the surface, 1% of Earths water
7.Groundwater (aquifer)- Fresh, 1% of Earths water
8.Water table- Top of ground water
9.Ice- 2% of Earths water, fresh
10.Sublimation- Solid to gas
11.Oceans- Salt water, 97% of Earths water, 70% surface
Carbon cycle
Needed to make the organic molecules of carbohydrates (energy), fats, and protein and DNA.
Parts of carbon cycle
1.Co2
2.o2
3.02
4.Co2
5.Co2
Reaction A- Photo synthesis
Reaction B- Cellular Respiration
