Across
- 4. This process is a component of the carbon cycle and happens when organisms die.
- 9. This component has chlorophyll which absorbs sunlight.
- 10. The carbon cycle is in dynamic equilibrium ________ combustion.
- 11. During photosynthesis this molecule input is combined and rearranged with carbon dioxide using sunlight to create glucose and oxygen.
- 12. The electron transport chain in cellular respiration creates 32 of these.
- 13. Humans create positive feedback in the carbon cycle though this process.
- 17. An animals cellular respiration system would be at static equilibrium when they are _____ and can no longer breathe or eat to create energy or matter.
- 18. The carbon cycle has the input of carbon in many _____ one being carbon dioxide.
- 20. The carbon cycle can experience negative feedback when humans use _____ resources like water, solar and windmill power.
- 22. If an animal eats too much their input of glucose is ____ than their output of energy or matter so this would be considered positive feedback.
- 23. After photosynthesis, this output is the plants food.
- 24. In cellular respiration there are 6 of these molecules inputted.
Down
- 1. Static equilibrium in the carbon cycle would occur when all _____ are dead.
- 2. In cellular respiration an animal is in dynamic equilibrium when the food it eats and air it breathes is equal to its outputs of energy and matter.
- 3. The plant is in _____ equilibrium when the plant is absorbing water, carbon dioxide, and solar energy and producing an equal amount of glucose and oxygen.
- 5. This organelle is where energy, carbon dioxide, and water is made through glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain in cellular respiration.
- 6. The _____ of carbon on earth is a boundary to the carbon cycle because there can not be an increase.
- 7. The plant is at _____ equilibrium when it is dead and is no longer able to do photosynthesis.
- 8. If a plant is given too much sunlight than it needs, this would be _____ feedback because the input does not equal the output.
- 14. An example of negative feedback is when a pet owner realizes their pet is eating too much and limit the amount of food they eat to balance their inputs and outputs.
- 15. In photosynthesis the amount of _____ is a boundary because it limits how much glucose the plant can make.
- 16. Humans are part of the carbon cycle because they output carbon through ________ and combustion.
- 19. A boundary of cellular respiration in a person would be how much food they eat because it _____ the amount of energy produced.
- 21. Relocating a plant that does not receive enough sunlight so the input can equal the output would be _____ feedback.
