Why is the Calvin cycle called a cycle?
The Calvin cycle is called such because every process produces something that the next process needs, right back to the original step. Carbon fixation produces the molecules needed for reduction, which produces the molecules needed for the regeneration of ribulose, which produces what's needed for carbon fixation.
The process by which carbon moves from inorganic to organic compounds and back is called?
This process is called photosynthesis.
How does the carbon cycle flow to producers to consumers?
Producers take in carbon dioxide in its gaseous form from the air during the process of photosynthesis, and use the carbon from the CO2 to create food molecules such as sugars and starches. When these producers are eaten by heterotrophs, they also take in the carbon that is contained in the food molecules that were created by the plants. Later, while breaking down the food molecules, the consumers release CO2 and water as waste products. When these consumers die, the decomposers break down the heterotroph and return the carbon compounds back to the soil.
Do humans digests starch into glucose?
Plants synthesize Glucose from carbon bi oxide and water with the help of green pigment called chlorophyll present in there leaves. Energy required for this purpose comes from sun light. So the formula for the same is 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O + energy = C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2. Now, these glucose molecules get attached to each other to form starch. there are few thousand glucose molecules in one molecule of starch. In our body these glucose molecules are liberated by enzymes to form glucose molecules and your body burn them step wise (About 20 steps ) to get the energy back. So it is all about game of energy. We give back the carbon bi oxide to plants and this is called Carbon cycle.
When water and useful molecules are drawn back into the blood due to osmotic pressure it is called?
Glomerular Filtration

All organic molecules contain carbon atoms that ultimately can be traced back in the food chain to?
Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Describe the steps of the Calvin Cycle?
1. 6 carbon dioxide molecules combine with six 5-carbon molecules forming twelve 3-carbon molecules. 2. The 12 3-carbon molecules are converted into high-energy forms. 3. 2 of the 12 3-carbon molecules are removed and the plant uses them to produce sugars, lipids, amino acids, and other compounds. 4. The 10 3-carbon molecules change back into six 5-carbon molecules, which combine with 6 more carbon dioxide molecules. The process starts over.
How can carbon dioxide be removed from the air and replaced by oxygen gas in submarine?
They use a 'gas exchange system' - usually chemicals that split the carbon dioxide molecules into atoms of oxygen and carbon. The oxygen is recycled back into the air in the submarine, and the carbon is retained for disposal.

haha is this alex? i cant get this one either
What is the process called when water leaves ponds into the atmosphere and back to the ponds?
Vaporization (aka. evaporation) is the process in which the molecules in liquid water break their intermolecular forces of attraction and become gas molecules. These H2O gas molecules have no where to go, except into the atmosphere. So the process for when these gas molecules change back into liquid molecules and leave the atmosphere, (or when it rains) is called condensation. This water of course goes back into different water sources such as ponds, lakes, and oceans.

A seismic wave in which the molecules in the rock move back and forth in the same direction as the wave is called?
divergent
What happens to cells in respiration?
They burn energy from ATP molecules and produce carbon dioxide. Then they wait for diffusion of oxygen to enter and 'recharge the ADP molecules back into ATP molecules so they can burn them again. As a simpler way to say it: In tissue respiration carbon dioxide is released and oxygen is re-absorbed. This the word equation for celluar respiration: C6H12O6 + 6O2 -------------------> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ~38 ATP
