New cards
System---
2 kinds open and closed
2
New cards
Open system
a material system in which mass or energy can be lost to or gained from the environment.
3
New cards
Closed System
 a natural physical system that does not allow transfer of matter in or out of the system
4
New cards
A system is
a type of modle
5
New cards
What kind of system is earth?
The earth is a closed system because only energy is naturally transferred outside the atmosphere.

steps/processes involved in the Carbon cycle

  • Carbon enters the atmosphere as Co2

  • CO2 is absorbed by autotrophs such as green plants.

  • Animals consume plants, thereby, incorporating carbon into their system.

  • Animals and plants die, their bodies decompose and carbon is reabsorbed back into the atmosphere.

13
New cards

steps/processes involved in the Water Cycle

evaporation,

transpiration,

condensation,

precipitation,

and runoff

14
New cards

steps/processes involved in the Energy Cycle

producers,

primary consumers,

secondary consumers,

and tertiary consumers.

15
New cards

What are the Laws of Thermodynamics

a branch of physics and talks about how energy is converted into other forms.

16
New cards

the Laws of Thermodynamics

  • Energy is never created or destroyed, only changed from one form to another form.

  • when energy changes, it gets converted from a useful/concentrated form to a less useful, less concentrated form.

17
New cards

How does carbon enter

1. Breathing out (respiration)

  2. Burning of trees or brush

  3. Volcanoes emit

  4. Diffuses out of oceans

  5. Organisms like decomposers release it when they break down dead things

18
New cards

how does carbon exit

u1. Plants (land based) via PHOTOSYNTHESIS (release oxygen as by-product)

u2. Phytoplankton (water-based) in ocean (sea-version of a plant) via PHOTOSYNTHESIS

u3. Wave Action helps dissolve CO2 concentrated in chemical compounds like Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3)

New cards

Scientific metheod steps

•State the problem.

•Make a hypothesis.

•Conduct the experiment.

•Record/analyze data.

•Make a conclusion.

Report findings to others so they can repeat the experiment

20
New cards

Hypothesis format meaning

•“If” is the manipulated variable.

•“Then” is the responding variable.
