Study Notes
Earth's Structure and Atmosphere
- The atmosphere surrounds the lithosphere, which is the outermost solid layer of the Earth.
Photosynthesis and Plants
- Chlorophyll's function in plants is to absorb light energy, which is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
- Producers, such as plants and algae, make their own food from sources like light, water, and chemicals in the air through photosynthesis.
Water Cycle
- The primary pathway for water to re-enter the water cycle is through condensation and precipitation.
Energy Conversion
- Cellular respiration is the process by which organisms convert chemical energy from oxygen molecules or nutrients into ATP.
- ATP is generated through the conversion of chemical energy into ATP.
Energy Resources
- Fossil fuels are energy resources formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals.
Phase Changes
- Condensation is the process by which water changes from a gas to a liquid state.
Ecological Perspectives
- Holistic consideration of the biological, geological, and chemical aspects of each cycle is referred to as a systems approach.
