The process that plants use to make energy
What is photosynthesis?
The process of breaking down dead organisms
What is decomposition?
The building block of life— ”Legos of life”
What is carbon?
These are made of the remains of dead organisms
What are fossil fuels?
Examples of fossil fuels include coal, ________, & ______________
What are natural gas and petroleum (oil)?
These players make their own food
What are producers?
These players eat other organisms to get energy
What are consumers?
These players are responsible for breaking down dead organisms
What are decomposers?
These players are responsible for burning fossil fuels
What are consumers?
These players include bacteria and fungi
What are decomposers?
The step in the carbon cycle that involves fungi and bacteria
What is decomposition?
This step includes the burning of fossil fuels
What is combustion?
This step includes producers
What is photosynthesis?
This step can be considered part of combustion and includes animals burning sugar for energy
What is respiration?
The steps that take carbon as a solid and turn it into carbon as a gas
What are respiration and combustion?
This gas is taken from the environment by producers
What is carbon dioxide (CO 2 )?
This gas is taken in by producers as they make sugar
What is carbon dioxide?
This gas is released with the burning of fossil fuels
What is carbon dioxide (CO 2 )?
This gas is responsible for increased global warming through the greenhouse effect
What is carbon dioxide (CO 2 )?
Daily Double:This gas is trapped in the permafrost layer and is expelled by cows
What is methane?
The process that takes carbon from the environment and makes it part of living organisms
What is photosynthesis?
True or False: Consumers take carbon as a solid and change it to a gas.
What is true?
The states of matter in which decomposers return carbon to the environment
What are solid, liquid, and gas? (Coal, petroleum, & natural gas)
Carbon is returned to water in this form
What is calcium carbonate (limestone)?
True or False: Carbon changes from a gas to a solid to a gas back to a solid, liquid, or gas as it goes through the carbon cycle
What is true?
The source of carbon in fossil fuels—where do they come from
What are dead organisms?
These are burned for energy and are formed from the bodies of plants & animals that died millions of years ago
What are fossil fuels?
The process in which the return of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere is an important step
What is the carbon cycle?
Besides reducing fossil fuels, this step could be taken to help reduce the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere
Cut down fewer trees or plant more trees
This problem is caused by the releasing increasing quantities of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere
What is global warming?
Make your wager
This gas is returned to the atmosphere or used by all players in the carbon cycle
Final Question: What is carbon dioxide?
