6th grade Cj Flashcard

Front

What process do pea plants use to make energy storage molecules in sunlight?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which pea plants take in carbon dioxide from the air and use sunlight to produce glucose (energy storage molecules).

Front

What is the role of autotrophs in the carbon cycle?

Back

Autotrophs use carbon dioxide to produce glucose, playing a crucial role in the carbon cycle.

Front

Which of the following is NOT a factor influencing the rate of photosynthesis?

Back

The amount of carbon dioxide is NOT one of the three main factors influencing the rate of photosynthesis.

Front

How is carbon moving in living things like zebras?

Back

Carbon is moving into and out of living things at the same time.

Front

What happens to carbon in the water around dugongs and underwater grasses?

Back

Carbon is moving into the water and out of the water at the same time.

Front

Define photosynthesis.

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What do plants release during photosynthesis?

Back

Plants release oxygen as a byproduct during photosynthesis.

Front

What is the significance of glucose in plants?

Back

Glucose serves as an energy storage molecule for plants, providing energy for growth and development.

Front

What are autotrophs?

Back

Autotrophs are organisms that produce their own food from sunlight or chemical energy, such as plants.

Front

What is the carbon cycle?

Back

The carbon cycle is the process by which carbon is exchanged among the atmosphere, land, water, and living organisms.
