Are there ways to describe a substance that are not properties?
I suppose the only way for it to not be a property is if it a subjective comment for example: 'This chair is comfortable', 'Oxygen is nice', 'Copper Sulfate solution is a lovely colour'. These opinions could be verified by looking at the properties of the substance. For example Oxygen IS nice because it it's properties allow it to be absorbed and then used inside our body for cellular respiration. Which is fundamental for life and thus one could prove that oxygen is 'Nice'. Hope this helps :)
How do organisms transform chemical energy in the food they eat into other forms of energy?
The most common energy producing process in living systems are the pathways of glycolosis, pyruvate processing, Krebb's cycle, and finally the electron transport chain, which results in the production of ATP. Other methods include photosynthesis and similar pathways to the aforementioned processes. The goal in most organisms is to produce ATP. They do this by breaking down different carbon and electron sources such as glucose to produce this high energy compound.
How does carbon in the atmosphere get into the biosphere?
Carbon enters the biosphere in multiple ways. Through photosynthesis, carbon dioxide gas enters a plants stomata and are used in the production of glucose sugar. In cellular respiration, carbon dioxide gas is releases from a plant into the air in order to produce ATP. When a plant is eaten by a consumer, the carbon is usually expelled from the organism through respiration, but traces of carbon will always be found in anything living as is the law of the carbon cycle, which is why we use carbon dating to tell how old something is. In addition, if something living dies, (all organic matter contains carbon) the carbon inside its body can get compressed by heat and pressure over time and the carbon solidifies into either coal or diamond, usually coal. By burning coal the carbon dioxide gas enters the atmosphere again and the cycle starts over.
What are three ways oxygen gas is removed from the atmosphere and use?
Animals respire. Plants respire. Fire uses oxygen. Rusting uses oxygen. Oxygen is removed from the atmosphere by 1. respiration 2. combustion and 3. gradual oxidation process at normal temperature and pressure. It is added to the atmosphere by photosynthesis of green plants.
What 2 ways does it vaporization occur?
the two ways are evaporation ans vaporization
In ways are photosynthesis and cellular respiration similar?
LILLM
What are two ways a cell can get energy from food?
Cells can release energy in two basic processes: Cellular respiration and fermentation. Cellular respiration requires oxygen but fermentation does not. Cellular respiration releases MUCH more usable energy then fermentation does.
List three ways to release the energy stored in glucose?
1:Cellular respiration 2:Aerobic respiration 3:glycolysis
What are the 3 ways to measure cellular respiration?
Measure ATP production, carbon dioxide production, and oxygen use For one molecule of glucose, you will get the most ATP if using cellular respiration as opposed to just glycolysis More carbon dioxide will be produced if using cellular respiration
Why is respiration essential for life?
Respiration is not essential for life. Many forms of bacteria do not undergo cellular respiration and are still considered 'alive'. Respiration, more specificially cellular respiration, is just one of many ways (although one of the more energetically efficient ways) for a cell to produce energy. Human cells are capable of producing energy in one of two ways, depending on the condition the cells are placed in. The most common of the two ways is through cellular respiration. This occurs when there is sufficient oxygen being carried to the cells via the blood. The second occurs when the body's cells do not have enough oxygen to support cellular respiration. This is commonly experienced during heavy workouts. When the body's cells don't have the needed oxygen to undergo cellular respiration, the cells revert to a form of energy creation called 'fermentation,' which DOES NOT require oxygen. Fermentation causes the build-up of lactic acid in muscle cells, which leaves that sore feeling in your muscles after a workout.
3 ways carbon atoms return to the nonliving part of the carbon cycle?
Cellular respiration, combustion, and decomposition.
What are three ways carbon atoms return to thr nonliving part of the carbon cycle?
Cellular respiration, combustion, and decomposition.
Where in an animal is a sugar molecule broken down to release energy?
cellular respiration
Describe three ways in which poisons can interfere with cellular respiration?
Carbon Monoxide is poisonous due to its interaction with hemoglobin, which is what carries the oxygen throughout the body. Carbon monoxide binds to the hemoglobin, cutting off the oxygen supply. Cyanide poisoning requires cyanide ions, and these ions mess with an important enzyme in the mitochondria of the cell, called cytochrome c oxidase. In this way, carbon monoxide prevents the oxygen from getting to the cells, while cyanide prevents the cells from generating the energy.
Why is Respiration important for all living things?

Could you give a venn diagram of cellular respiration and fermentation?
Fermentation: Takes place without oxygen, takes place in cytoplasm. Cellular respiration: Requires oxygen, takes place in cytoplasm and mitochondria. Both: Are ways that organisms produce energy by breaking down glucose.
In what way is photosynthesis and cellular respiration interdependent processes?
the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis requires CO2 (carbon dioxide) organisms that are heterotrophs, like us, which cannot produce their own food consume autotrophs like plants, which do produce their own food. a by-product of cellular respiration is CO2 a by-product of photosynthesis is O2 organisms like us need O2 to live organisms like plants need CO2 to live (and to support us in life--we eat them because they have sugar [i.e., glucose])
