Carbon and Water Cycle

Front

What process removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert carbon dioxide into glucose using sunlight.

Front

Where can carbon be found in the environment?

Back

Carbon can be found in the atmosphere, inside the Earth, and in fossil fuels.

Front

What is the primary source of energy that drives the water cycle?

Back

The sun is the primary source of energy that evaporates water from Earth's surface.

Front

What process converts sugar into carbon dioxide and water?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process that converts glucose (sugar) into carbon dioxide and water, releasing energy.

Front

How do clouds affect evaporation in the water cycle?

Back

Clouds shield water sources from the sun, reducing evaporation.

Front

What is the role of photosynthesis in the carbon cycle?

Back

Photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and incorporates it into organic matter.

Front

What is the significance of the sun in the water cycle?

Back

The sun provides the energy needed for evaporation, which is a key process in the water cycle.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

What are fossil fuels?

Back

Fossil fuels are natural substances formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals, containing carbon.

Front

What is transpiration?

Back

Transpiration is the process by which water is absorbed by plants and released as vapor into the atmosphere.
