Homeostasis Storyline Review 24/25

Front

What is homeostasis?

Back

Homeostasis is the process by which living organisms maintain a stable internal environment despite changes in external conditions.

Front

How does carbon dioxide contribute to global warming?

Back

Carbon dioxide traps heat in the atmosphere, leading to an increase in global temperatures.

Front

What is the relationship between cellular respiration and photosynthesis?

Back

The products of photosynthesis (glucose and oxygen) are the reactants for cellular respiration, and vice versa.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What role do plants play in the carbon cycle?

Back

Plants absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and release oxygen, helping to regulate atmospheric CO2 levels.

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (ATP)

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the significance of oxygen in cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen is essential for cellular respiration as it acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, allowing for the production of ATP.

Front

What is the role of decomposers in the ecosystem?

Back

Decomposers break down dead organic matter, returning nutrients to the soil and maintaining the nutrient cycle.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen and produces more energy (ATP) than anaerobic respiration, which occurs without oxygen.
