Energy and Matter Review

What are the two biggest sources of matter that plants gain as they grow?

What is the equation for Photosynthesis?

If von Helmont measured 1300 Joules of energy reaching this plant each minute, how much of that energy (in Joules) would be converted to leaves, roots, and other plant tissues? The answer is in J/min.

hint: this is not 1 trophic level to another, but energy within a plant

Label each part of this pie chart with the molecules found in the atmosphere.

Identify each statement as describing a proton (p), neutron (n), or electron (e). - Positively charged. - Negatively charged. - No charge. - Orbit the nucleus. - Determines the atom’s elemental identity. - Determines what chemical bonds the atom will form. - Along with protons, determines the atom’s mass.

Identify areas of highest potential energy and highest kinetic energy in this diagram of a coal-fired power plant.​

1.     You see an image online claiming that cell phones release radiation, and thus cause brain cancer. After a quick bit of research, you find that cell phones use an energy frequency of 800-2400 mHz, with a wavelength of about 0.3m.
