23
Q

Cellular respiration

A

A set of metabolic reactions and processes that place in the cell of an organism to convert chemical energy from oxygen molecules or nutrition into power

24
Q

Formula for aerobic cellular respiration

A

Fuel+oxygen = co2 + h20

C6h12o6 + 6o2 = 6co2 + 6h2o + energy(atp)

25
Q

Formula for an Anerobic respiration

A

Fuel = lactic acid+ energy

26
Q

Glucosesis

A

Is the metabolic or mathematical pathway that converts glucose into prior to a sequence of 10 enzymes catalyse reactions

27
Q

Herbivore

A

Only eat plants

28
Q

Carnivores

A

Only eat meat

29
Q

What is a motorcycle

A

Plants (consumer) = herbivor(1st level consumer) = carnivore(2nd consumer) = decomposer

30
Q

What is biomagnification

A

Biomagnification is a process where the concentration of a toxin increases as it moves through a food web

31
Q

Example of biomagnification

A

Plaktin(1ppm) = anemone(2ppm) = lobster(8ppm) = human(50ppm)

32
Q

What is an energy pyramid

A

energy is passed along the food chain from trophic level to trophic level only 10% of its energy is passed along

33
Q

And example of an energy pyramid

A

Plants(100 units) = herbivor(10 units) = carnivore(1 unit)

34
Q

What is biomass

A

The weight of all living things

35
Q

What is an edge to spaces

A

And introduced species is one that has been released into an exit ecosystem where it does not naturally occur at food web is delicately as delicate especially with new spaces

36
Q

What is carrying capacity

A

Maximum population in an ecosystem

37
Q

What is exponential growth

A

Population quickly rising at an increasing rate

38
Q

What is a biosphere

A

The strip around the earth that supports life

39
Q

What is a food web

A

I web of consumers and a graphical representation of what it’s white and ecological

40
Q

What is the food chain

A

A food chain is a lane network of links in a food web starting from reduce produce organise an ending and X prejudice basis

41
Q

Formula for photosynthesis

A

6co2 + 12h2o = c6h12o6 +oxygen + water

42
Q

Atmosphere what is it

A

A blanket of gases that surround the earth to the height of approximately 445 km mostly nitrogen/oxygen which supports life on earth

43
Q

What is the crust

A

What is the crustThe crust includes landforms rocks and soil mostly solid rock rigid and strong it varies in thickness

44
Q

What is a hydrosphere

A

48
Q

What’s the theory of plate tectonic’s

A

The theory states that the earths solid outer crust the lesser lithosphere is separated into plates that move over earth
