1. __________ is a usable form of energy.
2. One molecule of glucose is recycled into ____________ molecules of
carbon dioxide during cellular respiration.
3. Photosynthesis converts _______________ energy to
_______________ energy to be used by organisms in the food chain.
4. The nitrogen cycle requires ______________ to convert nitrogen to
nitrites and nitrates.
5. Energy flows in _____________ direction, and matter
_______________ through the environment
1. ATP is a usable form of energy.
2. One molecule of glucose is recycled into six molecules of carbon dioxide during cellular respiration.
3. Photosynthesis converts radiant energy to chemical energy to be used by organisms in the food chain.
4. The nitrogen cycle requires bacteria to convert nitrogen to nitrites and nitrates.
5. Energy flows in one direction, and matter cycles through the environment.
1. ATP is a usable form of energy.
To answer this question, you would need to know that ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of cells. It is produced during cellular respiration and can be used for various cellular processes.
2. One molecule of glucose is recycled into six molecules of carbon dioxide during cellular respiration.
To answer this question, you would need to be familiar with the process of cellular respiration. During cellular respiration, glucose is broken down into carbon dioxide and water, and in the process, ATP is produced.
3. Photosynthesis converts radiant energy to chemical energy to be used by organisms in the food chain.
To answer this question, you would need to know the basic concept of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants and some other organisms convert radiant energy from the sun into chemical energy in the form of glucose. This chemical energy is then used by organisms in the food chain.
4. The nitrogen cycle requires bacteria to convert nitrogen to nitrites and nitrates.
To answer this question, you would need to understand the nitrogen cycle, a process in which nitrogen is converted into different chemical forms and recycled in the environment. One important step in the nitrogen cycle is nitrogen fixation, during which certain types of bacteria convert atmospheric nitrogen into nitrites and nitrates that can be used by plants.
5. Energy flows in one direction, and matter cycles through the environment.
To answer this question, you would need a basic understanding of energy flow and matter cycling in ecosystems. Energy flows through ecosystems in a unidirectional manner, usually from the sun to producers (plants), then to consumers (animals), and eventually to decomposers. On the other hand, matter, such as nutrients, water, and carbon dioxide, cycles through the environment, being used and recycled by organisms in various processes like photosynthesis, respiration, and decomposition. The carbon and nitrogen cycles are examples of how matter cycles through ecosystems.
