APES Vocab Flashcards

10826856982	Photosynthesis	Autotrophs 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 oxygen	0
10826905821	Respiration	1. 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 organisms	1
10827045029	Transpiration	1. 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 precipitation	2
10827099471	Runoff	1. 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 vapor	3
10827228673	combustion of fossil fuels	1. 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
10827303290	Volcanic eruptions	1. 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
10827348177	Nitrogen fixation	1. Producers 2. Nitrogen cycle N2+H+e- -->NH3 +H2 3. Converts nitrogen gas into ammonia 4. Plants 5. Without it autographs can't get a usable form of nitrogen	6
10827412022	Assimilation	1. Producers 2. Nitrogen cycle 3. Producers incorporate elements into tissues 4. Roots 5. Process where producers absorb elements which is vital to the cycle.	7
10827476000	Dentrification	1. Decomposes 2. Nitrogen cycle- NO3-->NO2-->NO-->N2O--> N2 3. Converts nitrate into nitrous oxide and then nitrogen gas which is released to atmosphere 4. Soil 5. Keeps nitrogen levels balanced	8
10827546694	Nitrification	1. Producers 2. Nitrogen cycle- NH4--> NO2--> NO3 3. Converts ammonia into nitrite and nitrate 4. Bacteria 5. Plants often use nitrate	9
10827592337	Ammonification	1. Decomposes 2. Nitrogen 3. They break down nitrogen in dead producers and waste products and convert it to ammonium 4. Producers dead bodies or waste 5. Recycles waste into organic products	10
10827635564	Algal bloom	1. Algal 2. Phosphorous cycle 3. Phosphorous inputs causes increase in plants population which increases the biomass 4. Waterways 5. Keeps lake populations balanced	11
10827675202	Decomposition	1. Decomposers 2. Nutrient cycle 3. They break down compounds into small particles 4. Dead organisms or waste 5. Wastes become organic compounds	12
10827696053	Household detergent use	1. Humans 2. Hydrologic cycle 3. Used for cleaning purposes 4. At home 5. Causes the pollution of water	13
10827721690	Rock weathering	1. Environment 2. Sulfur cycle 3. Breaks down rocks 4. Rocks 5. Shapes the earth and moves minerals around	14
10827750263	Acid rain	1. Environment 2. Sulfur and nitrogen cycle 3. Because of pollution the water in the clouds gets contaminated and acidic 4. Atmosphere Harmful to environment	15
