Unit 7 Study Guide

Flashcards based on the Unit 7 Study Guide covering wildfire management, environmental impacts, photosynthesis, and cellular metabolic processes.

How do cultural burns and prescribed burns work together in fire management?

Techniques used in Designing Wildfire Solutions to mitigate fire risks and combine Indigenous fire practices with modern management.

What are the risks and benefits of AI/Wildfire technology for wildfire management?

Key factors evaluated in Designing Wildfire Solutions to address how technology can both assist and challenge management efforts.

How does climate change make wildfires worse?

A central question in wildfire management focused on the relationship between environmental shifts and fire severity.

What are some of the environmental impacts of fast fashion on climate change?

Specific negative effects attributed to the fast fashion industry on the global climate.

How does an increase in global temperatures affect sea turtles?

A biological impact investigated in 'Save the Turtles' resources to determine how rising heat influences turtle populations.

What substances do plants need to do photosynthesis and what are the products?

Plants require specific substances and produce oxygen and glucose as shown in the Photosynthesis Lecture Notes and Simulation.

How do forests help fight climate change?

Forests act as a Carbon Sink, a concept supported by Forest Sink Data Nuggets and Net Ecosystem Exchange analysis.

What substances are needed for aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Chemical requirements for cellular energy processes detailed in the cell respiration lecture notes.

What are the steps of aerobic respiration and what is produced at each step?

A process involving Glycolysis, the Krebs Cycle, and the Electron transport chain which produce specific molecular outputs.

What is the role of $\text{NADPH}$ and $\text{FADH2}$ in the $\text{ETC}$?

Specific molecules that function as electron carriers during the Electron transport chain stage of aerobic respiration.

What is needed for fermentation to take place and what are the products?

Biological process analyzed in the Barf Bag Lab, defining the inputs and resultant products like those found in Biofuel production.

How can fermentation be used to create a renewable fuel source?

The application of fermentation to produce Biofuel as a sustainable alternative.

What are the downsides to widespread biofuel use?

Potential negative consequences or limitations discussed in the Brewing Biofuels resource.

What actions can humans take to reduce their carbon footprint?

Human-driven strategies for Carbon Sink enhancement and general climate change solutions through personal and collective behavioral shifts.

How did the $\text{COVID-19}$ pandemic temporarily influence carbon emissions?

An observed shift in carbon output levels during the pandemic periods, recorded under climate change solutions study.

How does color and light affect the rate of photosynthesis?

Variables tested in the Photosynthesis Leaf Disc Lab and Simulation that influence how quickly plants convert substances into energy.

What is the importance of $\text{Pyruvate}$ and $\text{ATP}$ in cellular respiration?

Key chemical compounds mentioned in cell respiration notes; $\text{Pyruvate}$ is a product of glycolysis and $\text{ATP}$ is the primary energy currency.
