agronomy

An agricultural science that deals with crop production and improvement

carbon dioxide

An atmospheric gas made of one carbon atom for each two oxygen atoms

oxygen

An atmospheric gas; a by-product of the light reaction of photosynthesis; Essential to aerobic respiration

chemical bond

An energy-sharing arrangement of atoms to each other as parts of a molecule

Mitochondria

An organelle is responsible for producing energy by the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport of respiration occurs in these organelles

responsibility

Besides giving an earth-home to us, God gave us this to take care of it, of each other, and of ourselves for Himself.

dark

Photosynthesis

CO2+H2O-light----->(CH2O)n+O2

fifty

Each protein molecule is made of at ______least amino acid units.

farming

Evidence from archaeology shows that civilization and this have a common date of origin in history.

Plants provide

Food, shelter, and clothes.

anaerobic

In the absence of oxygen

aerobic

In the presence of oxygen as a gas
