What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll, converting carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and water from the soil into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What spheres are involved in the carbon cycle during photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon is moved from the atmosphere to the biosphere during photosynthesis.

Front

What is the sulfur cycle?

Back

The sulfur cycle is the series of processes by which sulfur moves between rocks, waterways, and living systems. Volcanoes release sulfur into the atmosphere, contributing to this cycle.

Front

What do climatograms represent?

Back

Climatograms are graphical representations of climate data, showing two variables: precipitation and temperature.

Front

How do temperatures typically vary in a climatogram?

Back

In a climatogram, temperatures are usually lower in winter months and higher in summer months.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, producing carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.

Front

What is biodiversity?

Back

Biodiversity refers to the variety of life in a particular habitat or ecosystem, including the diversity of species, genetic variation, and ecosystem diversity.

Front

What is an ecosystem?

Back

An ecosystem is a community of living organisms interacting with their physical environment, including both biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) components.

Front

What is ecological structure?

Back

Ecological structure refers to the organization of a biological community, including the relationships between different species and their environment.

Front

What is ecological dynamics?

Back

Ecological dynamics refers to the changes and interactions within ecosystems over time, including population changes, species interactions, and environmental changes.
