The process that
plants use to make
energy
What is
photosynthesis?
The process of
breaking down
dead organisms
What is
decomposition?
The building
block of life—
”Legos of life”
What is carbon?
These are made of
the remains of
dead organisms
What are fossil
fuels?
Examples of fossil
fuels include coal,
________, &
______________
What are natural
gas and petroleum?
These players make
their own food
What are
producers?
These players eat
other organisms to
get energy
What are
consumers?
These players are
responsible for
breaking down
dead organisms
What are
decomposers?
These players are
responsible for
burning fossil fuels
What are
consumers?
These players
include bacteria
and fungi
What are
decomposers?
The step in the
carbon cycle that
involves fungi and
bacteria
What is
decomposition?
This step includes
the burning of fossil
fuels
What is
combustion?
This step includes
producers
What is
photosynthesis?
This step can be
considered part of
combustion and
includes animals
burning sugar for
energy
What is
respiration?
The steps that take
carbon as a solid
and turn it into
carbon as a gas
What are
respiration and
combustion?
This gas is taken
from the
environment by
producers
What is carbon
dioxide (CO2)?
This gas is released
by producers as
they make sugar
What is oxygen
(O2)?
This gas is
released with the
burning of fossil
fuels
What is carbon
dioxide (CO2)?
This gas is
responsible for
increased global
warming through
the greenhouse
effect
What is carbon
dioxide (CO2)?
This gas is trapped
in the permafrost
layer and is
expelled by cows
What is methane?
The process that
takes carbon from
the environment and
makes it part of
living organisms
What is
photosynthesis?
True or False:
Consumers take
carbon as a solid
and change it to a
gas.
What is true?
The states of
matter in which
decomposers
return carbon to
the environment
What are solid,
liquid, and gas?
(Coal, petroleum,
& natural gas)
Carbon is returned
to water in this
form
What is calcium
carbonate
(limestone)?
True or False: Carbon
changes from a gas to a
solid to a gas back to a
solid, liquid, or gas as
it goes through the
carbon cycle
What is true?
The source of
carbon in fossil
fuels—where do
they come from
What are dead
organisms?
These are burned
for energy and are
formed from the
bodies of plants &
animals that died
millions of years ago
What are fossil
fuels?
The process in
which the return of
carbon dioxide to
the atmosphere is
an important step
What is the carbon
cycle?
Besides reducing fossil
fuels, this step could
be taken to help
reduce the release of
carbon dioxide into
the atmosphere
Cut down fewer
trees or plant
more trees
This problem is
caused by the
releasing increasing
quantities of carbon
dioxide into the
atmosphere
What is global
warming?
Make your wager
This gas is
returned to the
atmosphere or
used by all players
in the carbon cycle
Final Question:
What is carbon
dioxide?
