6
New cards

What are the reactants required for Photosynthesis?

6 CO2 + 6 H2O + sunlight

7
New cards

Photosynthesis does not occur in the dark. Why is light energy required for photosynthesis?

Light starts the chain reaction of photosynthesis

8
New cards

What types of living things undergo Photosynthesis?

All green plants

9
New cards

What are the products of Cellular Respiration?

ATP, CO2, and H2O.

10
New cards

Why do all living things need the process of cellular respiration? What does it accomplish?

They need cellular respiration because it turns oxygen and chemical energy into ATP, which is energy.

  • Out of- Photosynthesis. Oceanic absorption, etc

12
New cards

How does carbon move in and out of the biosphere

  • Into- Photosynthesis

  • Out of- Cellular respiration and decomposition

13
New cards

How does carbon move in and out of the geosphere

  • Into- decomposition, creation of fossil fuels, etc

  • Out of- volcanoes, weathering, getting fossil fuels to use, etc

14
New cards
