  1. 3. The plant is in _____ equilibrium when it can no longer perform the process of photosynthesis because it is dead.
  2. 5. When a person eats and ______ at a normal rate he/she would be an example of being in dynamic equilibrium because their inputs (glucose and oxygen) to cellular respiration equal their outputs (energy, carbon dioxide, and water).
  3. 8. The carbon cycle is experiencing positive feedback when humans burn _________, coal and oil.
  4. 9. A ________ in the carbon cycle would be the amount of carbon of earth because no more carbon can be added to our amount.
  5. 12. If the plant is given too much water it would be considered ________ feedback because the inputs in photosynthesis will no longer be equal to the outputs.
  6. 13. When a person dies he/she is considered to be in static equilibrium because they can no longer take in glucose and _____ for cellular respiration to produce energy and matter.
  7. 14. After the process of cellular respiration an output is 36 ___.
  8. 16. During cellular respiration, this organelle uses the process of glycolysis, Krebs’s cycle and ETC to create water, carbon dioxide, and energy.
  9. 19. Realizing you are eating too much and then controlling how much food you eat, _____ your intake of glucose for cellular respiration, which is negative feedback.
  10. 21. If a person does not eat enough food it is considered a boundary because it limits the amount of ______ produced for the cells to function.
  11. 22. After photosynthesis this output is used for energy.
  12. 24. In cellular respiration this input, glucose, is considered _____ and energy.
Down
  1. 1. If a person ___ too much they are obtaining too much glucose needed for cellular respiration which is an example of positive feedback.
  2. 2. The amount of _____ is a boundary for photosynthesis because it limits how much glucose the plant can make.
  3. 4. This component of photosynthesis includes chlorophyll which absorbs the sunlight’s energy.
  4. 6. In the carbon cycle carbon is an output which gets released back into the atmosphere by combustion, __________and decomposition.
  5. 7. During photosynthesis the plant is in dynamic equilibrium when it is constantly turning the inputs obtained to an ____ amount of outputs released.
  6. 10. This process is a component of the carbon cycle and happens when living organisms die and carbon is released into the atmosphere
  7. 11. In photosynthesis this input combines and rearranges water and carbon dioxide to create glucose and oxygen.
  8. 15. Growing more plants in a wet area would be considered _______ feedback because you are allowing the plant to absorb only the amount of water it needs.
  9. 17. The carbon cycle is in dynamic equilibrium without ________ because no more carbon dioxide is being released back into atmosphere unnaturally and the input would equal the output.
  10. 18. Negative feedback would take place in the carbon cycle when humans begin to use alternative resources such as hydro, _____, and wind power.
  11. 20. Static equilibrium would occur in the carbon cycle when all ______ organisms are dead.
  12. 23. This element combines with oxygen to form a usable gas to be the input for the carbon cycle.
