  3. 8. ___ are non-renewable energy sources created from the remains of ancient plants and animals.
  4. 9. During photosynthesis, ___ as well as glucose are produced as products.
  5. 10. ___ provides the energy for photosynthesis.
  6. 11. Carbon can be found dissolved in water as carbonate and ___
  7. 13. This is partially decomposed plant matter that can be found in bogs and swamps.
  8. 14. C6H12O6 is called ___ and is a product of photosynthesis.
  9. 15. This process adds carbon dioxide to the atmosphere through the burning of fossil fuels and trees.
  10. 17. This process is performed by all living things and it allows them to convert glucose into energy.
  11. 18. ___ and water are the reactants of photosynthesis.
  12. 19. Carbon dioxide is an example of a ___ because it traps heat in the atmosphere and increases our global temperatures.
  13. 21. This fossil fuel is composed mainly of methane gas, and it can be transported using pipelines across the country.
  14. 22. The pigment chlorophyll is this color.
  15. 26. These organisms turn detritus into nutrients in the soil.
  16. 28. A carbon ___ is a storage area for carbon. It keeps it from combining with oxygen and forming carbon dioxide.
  17. 29. These organisms assimilate carbon from producers as well as other consumers.
  18. 30. This solid fossil fuel is found through digging into the land, and often through the removal of mountains.
  19. 31. This is the waste matter and remains of once living organisms.

  3. 3. This process is used by plants in order to create glucose.
  4. 4. Unlike consumers, producers and detritus, fossil fuels represent a ___ carbon reservoir.
  5. 6. In this process carbon can be moved from one biotic component in the food web to the next.

  11. 24. Another term for oil is ___ .
  12. 25. This process converts dead remains into fossil fuels.
  13. 27. Carbon can be stored in ___ carbon reservoirs like producers, consumers and detritus.
