The Carbon Cycle

Deforestation

Reducing Human Carbon Footprint

Cellular Respiration

  • The clearing of forests
  • Animals and plants ecosystems are being destroyed by humans
  • Scrub ecosystem in California is being treated especially bad
  • Animals are dying out or leaving, leaving behind a deserted ecosystem

Food Web Items

  • Over half the world's population lives in cities
  • Ecosystems are being destroyed in order to build buildings
  • Cities are responsible for over 70% of global CO2 emissions
  • Need to preserve parts of the ecosystem so plants and animals can still survive and not become endangered

Cellular respiration is the process by which the chemical energy of "food" molecules is released and partially captured in the form of ATP.

  • Hot, dry summers
  • Cold, wet winters
  • Very little rain in summer
  • Lots of rain in winter

  • The process by which a cell captures the energy in sunlight and uses it to make food.
  • During photosynthesis, plants and some other organisms use energy from the sun to convert CO2 and water into oxygen and sugars, including glucose.
