January 6, 2011

1) RESPOND to the following Regents Question on loose leaf paper or you may post your response on the blog. Be sure to sign your post with your first name and initial of your last name, and your class period. Due Friday, January 7th, 2011.

Describe the cycling of carbon in an ecosystem. In your answer be sure to:

-identify the inorganic carbon compound that is obtained by plants from the environment [1]
-identify the process plants use to form more complex organic molecules from this carbon compound [1]
-describe how herbivores use these complex organic molecules [1]
-identify the process herbivores use to return carbon to the environment [1]

2) Lab 10: Cellular Respiration Lab Report attached to handout due Monday, January 10th, 2011. Your lab report must include:
Lab Title
Purpose (what we will be observing in the lab; summarize the lab objectives in your own words)
Materials (list of equipment used)
Procedure (list all 6 steps as found on the handout)
Data Table (include a title and detailed observations; use a ruler)
Observations (optional for extra credit; include labeled drawings of your results)
Discussion & Conclusion (see below for guidelines)
Responses to the analysis and conclusion questions 1-5 in complete and detailed sentences.

Discussion & Conclusion Guidelines:
1a) How does bromothymol blue indicate for carbon dioxide?
b) How does this link to cellular respiration?
2a) How should temperature affect carbon dioxide production?
b) Did your results agree with this?
3a) What errors could have occurred that may affect your results?
b) What changes could you make to improve the experiment to make it more valid if
repeated?

the inorganic carbon compound that is obtained by plants from the environment are sunlight,co2, and h2o.
Then the plant goes through photosynthesis and synthesis these material in the chloroplast and makes oxygen and sugar. A herbivores use these complex organic molecules by using cellular respiration and in cellular respiration those material are synthesis in the mitochondria and makes carbon, h2o, and ATP that then is recycled into the air so the plant can use.

1)The inorganic carbon compound that is obtained by plant in the environment is oxygen.

2)The process plants use to form this carbon compound is photosynthesis.

3)Herbivores use the complex molecules for energy to survive.

4)The process herbivores use to return carbon to the environment by respiration.

Carbon in an ecosystem is cycled mainly between plants and animals. Carbon dioxide is absorbed by plants and, using the process of photosynthesis, converts it into a more useabe form of energy in food. The plant is then eaten by animals in the area where it provides energy for the animal as glucose in the body. Then, cellular respiration takes place and that energy is turned back into carbon dioxide and ATP. This energy is then absorbed into the bloodstream It is once again. released into the atmosphere as animals exhale and the cycle continues.

Describe the cycling of carbon in an ecosystem. In your answer be sure to:

-identify the inorganic carbon compound that is obtained by plants from the environment [1]
Inorganic Carbon
-identify the process plants use to form more complex organic molecules from this carbon compound [1]
The process plants use to form more complex organic molecules from these compounds is called photosynthesis.

-describe how herbivores use these complex organic molecules [1]
Herbivores take in the
They take in glucose and oxygen to make water, carbon dioxide, and ATP.

-identify the process herbivores use to return carbon to the environment [1]
Herbivores use cellular respiration to return carbon to the environment in the form of carbon dioxide.

The inorganic compound that is obtained by plants from the environment is carbon dioxide. The process plants use to form more complex organic molecules from carbon dioxide is respiration and photosynthesis. Herbivores use carbon dioxide to move its muscles, digest food, excrete waste, and think. The process herbivores use to return carbon to the environment is when a herbivoure dies it can be respired by decomposers and released to the atmosphere, or it can be buried and eventually form fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas and oil. Fossil fuels can be burned which releases carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere.

Plants use many resources from the enviorment. The compound that plants recieve from the enviorment is Carbon Dioxide. They use this Carbon Dioxide to carry out the process of Photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process in which plants produce their own food. During photosynthesis, plant produce Carbon Dioxide. This Carbon Dioxide comes from water and sunlight. Herbivores also use this to their advantage. Herbivores are considered autotrophs. They use other resources from their enviorment to get their food. So, in a way, plants and herbivores share the same process of producing their own food.

The inorganic carbon compound that is obtained by plants from the enviroment is water. Photosyntesis is the process in which plants use to make their own food and organic molecules. Herbivores use these complex organic molecules to make their own food so that they can survive on their own. Cellular Respiration is when plants take in molecules and give carbon dioxide.

-The inorganic carbon compound that
is obtained by plants from the environment is Carbon Dioxide.
-The process plants use to form more complex organic molecules from this carbon compound is Photosynthesis.
-Herbivores use these complex organic molecules such as the sugar that is made from the process photosynthesis, which is stored in the plant, and when the herbivore eats the plant, they get the energy.
-The process herbivores use to return carbon yo the environment is Cellular Respiration.

1: Carbon Dioxide
2: Through the process of photosynthesis plants use carbon dioxide and solar radiation to create complex organic molecules
3: Herbivores eat the plant and absorb the molecules.
4: Herbivores return carbon back into the environment through aerobic respiration and excretion.
