Trimester 2 (The Non-Living enviorment (Carbon Cycle (Step vocab (Step 2:…

- - - - In this process, consumers release CO2 via respiration after consuming producers and converting the sugars consumed back into CO2. Decomposers also convert sugars back into CO2 and release it into the atmosphere, but they convert sugars acquired from both consumers and producers they decompose.
    - - in this process, the small fraction of carbon that is not converted back into CO2 and released into the atmosphere by decomposers is buried and incorporated into ground and ocean sediments. Over time, this carbon becomes petroleum hydrocarbons in the form of coal, oil, and natural gas--the resources humans use to make fossil fuels. The process of fossilization and formation of such fuel reserves takes an incredibly long time.
    - - in this abiotic process, humans extract fossil fuels from subterranean reservoirs, bringing them to the Earth's surface where they can be combusted.
    - - this is the mainly abiotic process in which humans release carbon into the atmosphere through combustion of fossil fuels or intentional fires. However, natural fires (thus, biotic) can also have this effect.
    - - this is the process in which CO2 in the atmosphere and CO2 dissolved in water (particularly the oceans) are constantly exchanged.
    - - producers take in CO2 during the process of photosynthesis, through which they convert the CO2 for storage or to make sugars for energy.
    - - Step 2: Resperation
      - Step 1: Photosynthesis
      - Step 3: Burial
      - Step 4:Extraction
      - Step 5: Combustion
      - "Constant" step: Exchange
  - - - this is changing of a liquid to a gas. In this case of polluted water the pollution is left behind
    - - When the water molocule moves from one place to another
    - - this is the changing of gas to a liquid. Condensation collects on the outside of a cold surface.
    - - this is the falling of water to the Earth. It can fall on the earth as snow, sleet, hail, and rain.
    - - When water collects up somewhere
- - - - Part of Earth that supports life
    - - The place where organisms live
    - - All populations in an ecosystem
    - - All the organisms living in an area and the nonliving features of their enviorment
    - - Anything that restricts the number of individuals in a population
    - - All the organisms in an ecosystem that belongs to the same species
    - - The study of interactions among organisms and their enviorment.
    - - The largest number of individuals of one species that an ecosystem can support over time.
    - - Cant make own food, eat plants and animals
    - - How an organism survives, including its habitat, and how it obtains food and shelter
    - - Gets food from sun
    - - Close relationships between species
  - - - Eats plants
    - - Eats meat
    - - Eats both
    - - Break down materials
- - - - When everything restarts
        
        Volcanoes
    - - When plants have to regrow
        
        Forest Fires
  - - - Coral Reef
        
        diverse ecosystem formed from the calcium carbonate shells secreted by corals
      - Wetlands
        
        a land region that is wet most or all of the year
      - Lakes and Ponds
      - River and Streams
      - Estuary
        
        extremely fertile area where a river meets an ocean; contains a mixture of freshwater and saltwater and serves as a nursery for many species of fish
      - Open Ocean
        
        Top layer of the ocean, where the sun hits
    - - Tropical Rain forest
        
        most biologically diverse biome; has an average temperature of 25 C and receives between 200 cm and 600 cm of precipitation each year
      - Desert
        
        driest biome on Earth with less than 25 cm of rain each year; has dunes or thin soil with little organic matter, where plants and animals are adapted to survive extreme conditions
      - Grassland
        
        temperate and tropical regions with 25 cm to 75 cm of precipitation each year that are dominated by climax communities of grasses; ideal for growing copes and raising cattle and sheep
      - Temperate Rain forest
        
        biome with 200 cm to 400 cm of precipitation each year, average temperatures between 9 C and 12 C, and forests dominated by trees with needlelike leaves
      - Temperate Deciduous Rain forest
        
        biome usually having four distinct seasons, annual precipitation between 75 cm and 150 cm, and climax communities of deciduous trees
      - Tundra
        
        cold, dry, treeless biome with less than 25 cm of precipitation each year, a short growing season, permafrost, and winters that can be ix to nine months long. tundra is separated into two types: arctic tundra and alpine tundra
      - TAiga
        
        Worlds largest biome
