Microbiome
What is it called when something is too small to be seen with the naked eye?
Microscopic
What is the process of the body using molecules for energy and growth called?
Metabolism
What is an instruction for making a protein molecule called?
Gene
What is transferred when two objects/things collide?
Energy
Why are places close to the equator warm?
The closer a place is to the equator the more energy it gets from the sun.
What is all of the microorganisms that live in a particular environment, such as a human body, called?
Microbiome
Which body system is in charge of delivering molecules to the cells?
Circulatory System
1. What is it called when the gene versions are the same?
2. What is it called when the gene versions are different?
1. Homozygous
2. Heterozygous
What is it called when two things end up with the same temperature?
Equilibrium
What is the process by which a gas changes into a liquid?
Condensation
True or False: Anitbiotics only kill bad bacteria
FALSE: Antibiotics kill both good and bad bacteria
What are the three molecules that we have learned about that cells need to function?
Oxygen, Glucose, and Amino Acids
How many copies of each gene do you get from each of your parents?
You get 1 copy from each parent.
True or False: Energy can be created but it cannot be destroyed.
False: It cannot be created or destroyed
How does air get energy?
Energy is transferred from the sun to the Earth's surface and then to the air.
True or False: Cells only make up living things
True: Cells are the tiny structures that make up all living things and are the smallest units able to perform life functions
Which body system is in charge of delivering molecules cells?
Circulatory System
What are the parts of the cell that build protein molecules based on instructions from genes
Ribosomes
Sample A has molecules that are moving very fast.
Sample B has molecules that are moving very slow.
Which sample is hotter and which sample is colder?
Which sample has a higher average kinetic energy?
Sample A is hotter than sample B. Sample A has the higher average kinetic energy.
What two things determine the direction of ocean currents?
Prevailing Winds and the location of continents.
What are two things that helpful bacteria do for us?
Fight off harmful bacteria
Help us digest food
Take up space so harmful bacteria can't grow
What is needed for Cellular Respiration AND what is Cellular Respiration?
Oxygen and Glucose
Cellular Respiration is when Oxygen and Glucose combine to give the cells energy.
Why don't siblings have all the same traits if they have the same parents?
Parents pass down a random combination of their genes each time an offspring is made.
Engineers design computers to cool down quickly so they do not break. What happens to the molecules in a computer when the temperature of the computer decreases?
They slow down and lose energy
Explain how clouds are formed
Water evaporates from the earth's surface and becomes water vapor once it receives enough energy. That water vapor then condenses into liquid water once it loses enough energy. That liquid water is what makes up the clouds.
