Question | Answer |
First Law of Thermodynamics | Energy cannot be created nor destroyed. Only converted from one form to another. |
Second Law of Thermodynamics | Everytime energy is converted, some of it is converted to a more random, less useful form. |
Calorie | The amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one millimeter of water by one degree delicious. |
Heterotroph | Eat other organisms
Humans |
Autotroph | Self feeders
Plant manufacture there own organic matter |
Be able to calculate trophic efficiency of an organism given the energy available and the energy used. | EG/EA = %
900/1000 = 90% |
More useful energy | More organized
More useful
Less random
More predictable |
Less useful energy | Less organized
Less orderly
Less predictable
More random |
Equation for photosynthesis | #: 6 CO2 + 6H20 -- photons --> C6H12O6 + 6O
Word: carbon dioxide + water --- photons --> glucose + oxygen |
Equation for Cellular Respiration | #: C6H12O6 + 6O2 ---> 6CO2 + 6H20 + 36 ATP
Word: glucose + oxygen ---> carbon dioxide + water + ATP |
Identity of the element | Proton Count |
Atomic number of an atom | Proton |
Atomic Mass of an atom | proton + nuetron + electron |
Creating different isotopes of an atom | neutron count |
The formation of ions | gain or loss of electrons |
The number of possible bonds that can a given atom form | electrons |
