Understand the Problem
The question is a review sheet for an upcoming exam covering various topics in physics, biology, chemistry, and astronomy. It asks for explanations of concepts, definitions, and examples for each subject area listed.
Answer
Photosynthesis converts sunlight to glucose/oxygen; cellular respiration uses them for energy. Biotic factors are living elements; abiotic are non-living.
Photosynthesis converts sunlight into glucose and oxygen; cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen to release energy. They form a cycle essential for energy flow in ecosystems. Biotic factors are living (plants, animals) and abiotic are non-living (water, temperature) elements in an environment.
Answer for screen readers
Photosynthesis converts sunlight into glucose and oxygen; cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen to release energy. They form a cycle essential for energy flow in ecosystems. Biotic factors are living (plants, animals) and abiotic are non-living (water, temperature) elements in an environment.
More Information
Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are interdependent processes that sustain life by maintaining a balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Understanding these processes helps explain energy flow in ecosystems. Biotic and abiotic factors influence species interactions and ecosystem health.
Tips
Confusing the direction of energy flow between photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Remember, photosynthesis stores energy, and cellular respiration releases it.
