They provide us with a source of nonrenewable energy (oil, coal, or natural gas). 17 The cycle of carbon in which carbon dioxide is used in photosynthesis to form food and growth substances and is later returned to the environment by respiration, decay, and burning 18 Sublimation The process of changing a solid into a gas Both matter and energy can flow through The process of turning a gas into a liquid Is constantly recycled through an ecosystem and does not have to leave the ecosystem. Only energy can flow through this Fossil Fuels The Law of Conservation of Matter The process of changing a liquid to a gas States of Matter The dispenser used to apply the sriracha Size of the taco Substances used by an organism to survive, grow, and reproduce.
