Optional Practice questions for the test. After you submit your work, re-open the link to check your answers.

Identify which of earth's spheres exchange carbon the Most? Least? Explain

Which two biochemical processes listed in the table above MOST contribute to seasonal changes in carbon dioxide?

Which Potential Energy Diagram represents photosynthesis? Overall, is energy released or absorbed?

Which Potential Energy Diagram represents celluar respiration? Overall, is energy released or absorbed?

What is the difference between an exothermic and endothermic reaction? Explain how a Potential Energy Diagram illustrates this difference.

Which requires less energy and is more stable, indivdual atoms or the molecule(s) they form when they combine?

Identify the state of matter for each: mantle, crust, outer core, inner core

Which states of matter does thermal energy transfer via conduction? Convection?

Choose all statements below that CORRECTLY explain why convection currents occur in the mantle causing plates on the Earth’s crust to move.

Radioactive decay from the Earth’s mantle drives the movement of fluid to rise up and down based on density

Warm particles in the fluid like mantle rise towards the crust while the cooler more dense particles fall

Earth’s sunlight allows the fluid from the mantle to rise and fall

Thermal energy is transferred from colder more dense particles to warmer less dense particles in the mantle

The inner core experiences high temperatures and pressures due to the radioactive reactions and transfer this thermal energy to the outer core and mantle
