Weathering is the breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces.

Front

What is erosion?

Back

Erosion is the process of moving rocks and soil from one location to another.

Front

What do chemical equations describe?

Back

Chemical equations describe chemical reactions.

Front

What are the products of cellular respiration?

Back

The products of cellular respiration are water, carbon dioxide, and ATP.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

The products of photosynthesis are glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2).

Front

What is an autotroph?

Back

An autotroph is an organism that makes its own glucose through processes like photosynthesis.

Front

What is a consumer?

Back

A consumer is an organism that cannot make its own glucose and must eat other organisms for energy.

Front

What role do producers play in the carbon cycle?

Back

Producers, like plants, convert carbon dioxide into glucose during photosynthesis.

Front

What is the significance of ATP in cellular respiration?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, produced during cellular respiration.

Front

What is the formula for photosynthesis?

Back

The formula for photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2O -> C6H12O6 + 6O2.
