Microbiome
When something is too small to be seen with the naked eye it is called this.
What is microscopic?
The process of the body using molecules for energy and growth.
What is metabolism?
A term for a living thing.
What is an organism?
This is transferred when two objects or particles collide.
What is (kinetic) energy?
Earth, air and water near the equator are warmer for this reason.
Why does the equator get more consistent and direct sunlight and thus heat energy?
Looking at the mouse experiment, those with a full and healthy microbiome mostly did not do this while all with a low gut microbiome did.
What is get really sick from salmonella?
The body system in charge of delivering molecules to the cells.
What is the Circulatory System?
What are plant cells?
When two things end up with the same temperature, this is what it is called.
What is equilibrium?
The process by which a gas changes into a liquid.
What is condensation?
One downside of taking antibiotics is that they also do this, in addition to killing bad bacteria.
What is kill good bacteria?
Elisa ended up having this condition which was making her tired because her body couldn't process the glucose she was taking in.
What is diabetes?

What are thermohaline currents?
Patient 23 was finally returned to health after receiving this.
What is a fecal matter transplant?
The body system in charge of processing the food we eat and removing waste from the body.
What is the Digestive System?
The parts of the cell that build protein molecules based on instructions from genes.
What are ribosomes?

Sample B has molecules that are moving very slow.
The sample is hotter is ______ and the sample with a higher average kinetic energy is _______.
What are Sample A and Sample A?
Two reasons that the oceans are salty but most lakes and rivers are not.
What are:
Rivers and streams carry minerals, including salt, to the oceans.
Ocean water evaporates and freezes but leaves salt behind.
Things that helpful bacteria can do in the gut.
What are:

These two molecules are needed for Cellular Respiration, when the cells create usable energy and release carbon dioxide and water as waste products.
What are Oxygen and Glucose?
The outer boundary found in both plant and animal cells.
What is the cell membrane?
Engineers design computers to cool down quickly so they do not break. This happens to the molecules in a computer when the temperature of the computer decreases.
What is: they slow down and lose energy.
Water evaporates from the Earth's surface, condensing in to these as it loses energy before raining back to Earth as part of the water cycle.
What are clouds?
