Light & Matter
you can only see one way out of it
what is a one way mirror
transmit
dose glass reflect or transmit
Any form of water that falls from clouds and reaches Earth's surface (rain, snow, sleet, or hail)
precipitation
A natural occurrence caused by extreme weather or geologic events
Natural Hazard
1 trillion
how many cells
Light reflects from a smooth surface at the same angle as it hits the surface
What does light have to do with reflection from a mirror or mirror-like surface?
is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy in the particles that make up a material
thermal energy
The process of changing a gas (vapor) to a liquid
condensation
A natural hazard that causes harm to humans
Natural Disaster
Controls materials that enter and leave the cell
Cell Membrane
Electromagnetic Spectrum
The complete spectrum of light, including radio waves, infrared light, visible light, ultraviolet light, X rays, and gamma rays.
the energy of motion
kinetic energy
The process of changing a liquid to a gas (vapor)
Evaporation
a giant wave caused by movement of the ocean floor
Tsunami
Proteins
What do Ribosomes make?
Absorption (of light)
The process by which matter absorbs radiative energy.
is the energy stored in the interactions between objects or particles
potential energy
evaporation, condensation, and precipitation, and transpiration.
Water Cycle
a localized, violently destructive windstorm occurring over land, especially in the Middle West, and characterized by a long, funnel-shaped cloud extending toward the ground and made visible by condensation and debris.
Tornado
The storage area of a cell
Vacuole
Transmission (of light)
The process in which light passes through matter without being absorbed.
the average kinetic energy of the particles that make up a material
tempater
The movement of water into the soil or ground surface
Infiltration
a series of vibrations induced in the earth's crust by the abrupt rupture and rebound of rocks in which elastic strain has been slowly accumulating.
Earthquake
Tiny cells that carry out specific functions in the cell
Cytoplasm
