Carbon Cycle

5. green pigment in plants that allows plants to do photosynthesis.
7. the rocky, non-living part of Earth. Includes mountains, minerals, lava, etc.One of the four spheres.
8. where carbon is stored. Often broken up into atmosphere, terrestrial biosphere, oceans (biotic and abiotic), and sediment. [carbon ________]
11. a molecule made of two oxygen atoms. Created in photosynthesis and released from plants. A reactant of cellular respiration.
12. also H2O, a molecule made of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atoms. Polar. Made in cellular respiration as a waste product and exhaled. Used as a reactant in photosynthesis.
13. type of respiration where metabolic reactions that take place in the mitochondria of the cell that convert chemical energy from oxygen molecules and glucose into ATP and by products.
14. type of energy,Comes from the sun.
15. stands for Adenosine triphosphate. It is an energy-carrying molecule in biotic organisms.
18. type of gases that absorb and emit radiant energy within the thermal infrared range, causing the greenhouse effect.
19. type of respiration where metabolic reactions that take place in the cell that convert chemical energy in molecules into ATP and by products.
20. simple sugar, monosaccharide. Important for aerobic cellular respiration and made in photosynthesis.

1. organelle found in cells. Where cellular respiration occurs in animal cells.
2. series of reactions that lead to the breakdown of glucose.
3. all of Earth’s water. Oceans, rivers, lakes, etc. One of the four spheres.
4. organelle in plant cells. Site of photosynthesis.
6. process where plants use light energy, water, and carbon dioxide to produce glucose and oxygen.
9. all biotic or living things, including people. One of the four spheres.
10. type of respiration that takes place without oxygen in the cytoplasm.
13. air above Earth’s surface. One of the four spheres.
16. the total mass of organisms in a given area or volume.
17. energy that is stored in bonds.
