Relationship between Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Cycling nutrients between plants and animals

List the: Biotic components Abiotic components Nitrogen cycle Phosphorous cycle Different interactions of the spheres

Plants and Animals Link to the Environment How do you think animals (like ourselves) obtain nutrients or gain energy? Retrieve nutrients to form energy from eating other organism Cellular Respiration How do plants obtain nutrients or gain energy? Retrieve energy from the sunlight and convert into energy Photosynthesis How does a decomposer return nutrients to the soil? They breakdown dead organisms, return vital nutrients to the soil. Also seen as chemical energy back into the soil for consumer to eat.

What is the link between Plants and animals?!

Cellular Respiration Sugar + Oxygen Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy Is a chemical process that generates energy in the cell needed for metabolism Takes place in the mitochondria Chemical Equation: Sugar + Oxygen Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy Watch This!

Photosynthesis Carbon dioxide + Water Sugar + Oxygen Sunlight Is a process by which plants use sunlight to produce energy that feed the plant. This process is carried out in the chloroplasts. Equation: Carbon dioxide + Water Sugar + Oxygen Sunlight Click Here!

Compare and Contrast Watch This! Fill in on board with class after they have spent time filling it in individually Watch This!

Story time! On a separate piece of paper create a story that follows the flow of an Oxygen molecule as it travels through cellular respiration and photosynthesis Make sure to include: Animals Plants Environment Gasses Energy Molecules Sunlight Sugar Etc.
