What are the elements of Carbohydrates?
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen
What is the function of carbohydrates?
they are the main source of energy
what are the elements of a protein
carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur
what are the elements of nucleic acids?
Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus
Whats the monomer name of a carbohydrate?
monosaccharides
what is the monomer name of a lipid?
glucose and fatty acids
What is nitrification and why does it need to occur?
Its a step in the nitrogen cycle that links to oxidation of ammonia
What are the elements of lipids
carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
what is the monomer name for nucleic acids?
nucleotides
what is the monomer name for proteins?
animo acids
What are the inputs of cellular respiration
glucose and oxygen
what is the function of a protein
puts in most of the work towards the body
How are decomposers a vital component of the nitrogen cycle?
They break down proteins from dead organisms.
Which group of bacteria uses nitrogen gas from the air to produce their own nitrate?
Denitrifying bacteria
how does sugar concentration affect carbon dioxide creation?
It affects the rate of yeast fermentation
How does too much carbon in the atmosphere lead to global climate change
It absorbs less heat per molecule
where does photosynthesis take place and who performs it?
takes place in the chloroplast and plants preform it.
what is the function of nucleic acids?
makes proteins
what is the function of a lipid?
they store energy
What are the steps of photosynthesis?
1) absorb light 2) electron transport 3) generation of ATP 4) conversion of carbon dioxide 5) conversion of co2 into carbohydrates
What are the inputs of photosynthesis?
water, carbon dioxide, and energy
What are the outputs of photosynthesis?
glucose and oxygen
