10826856982PhotosynthesisAutotrophs Cycles-C O H2O Transformation of solar energy to chemical energy- CO2 is removed from the atmosphere and glucose is made. In chloroplasts of producers Removes CO2 from atmosphere and makes food; makes oxygen0
10826905821Respiration1. Both autographs and heterotrophs 2. Carbon and oxygen Cycles- (ATP)+6CO2《--- C6H12O2+6O2 3. Converts biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate and then releases waste product 4. Takes place in Mitochondria 5. Provides energy for living organisms1
10827045029Transpiration1. Autographs 2. Hydrologic cycle. 3. Moisture from the roots of the plant to the pores in its leaves and is changed to vapor and is released into the atmosphere. 4. Leaves of plants 5. Gives the atmosphere water vapor to produce precipitation2
10827099471Runoff1. Water 2. Hydrologic cycle 3. Water moves from the land to rivers 4. On land 5. Recycles water and allows our atmosphere to absorb the water vapor3
10827228673combustion of fossil fuels1. Humans and fires. 2. Carbon cycle and sulfur cycle 3. The burning of fossil fuels creates the release of carbon, water,and ATP into the air or soil. 4. Happen anywhere 5. Contributes to the carbon cycle. May cause global warming increase.4
10827303290Volcanic eruptions1. Volcanoes 2. Sulfur cycle 3. Releases sulfur into gas SO2 4. In volcanoes and atmosphere 5. Helps the sulfur cycle which helps the environment.5
