Document Summary
Predictions test results: chapter 2, carbohydrates, glucose(c6h12o6) most common + important carb. Phospholipids are primary component of animal cell membranes: hydrophobic side: water repellent side, hydrophillic side: water attracting side. Sun: gravitational pull from moon and sun, geothermal. Light energy + 6co2 (carbon dioxide) + 12h2o (water) c6h12o6 (sugar) + 6o2 (oxygen) + 6h2o (water); simplified version: light energy + 6co2 (carbon dioxide) + 6h2o (water) c6h12o6 (sugar) + 6o2 (oxygen) C6h12o6 (sugar) + 6o2 (oxygen) 6co2 (carbon dioxide) + 6h2o (water) Energy gained per glucose molecule in respiration is only 2/3 of energy input per glucose molecule in photosynthesis. Earliest photoautotroph was cyanobacteria: chemosynthesis: deep-sea bacteria turn carbon dioxide, water, and hydrogen sul de into glucose and other energy. 15 major tectonic plates: most powerful earthquakes: tohoku earthquake. Soil very fertile bc of deposition of silt: riparian forests(riverside forests) very productive and rich in species.
