Water Cycle
The continuous process of water changing forms as it moves from the Earth's surface, to the atmosphere, and back
Water Cycle
__________________ resources are resources found in nature without humans intervention
natural resources
All living things are made up of __________
at least one cell
This type of reproduction results in an identical copy of the parent.
asexual reproduction
The energy of motion is ________________
kinetic energy
When water falls from the sky at a liquid or solid
precipitation
The removal of trees and other vegetation from an area; often to make space for buildings, parking lots, etc.
deforestation
This organelle changes nutrients into energy to be used by the cell (often referred to as the powerhouse)
mitochondria
Different versions of a gene are called _________
alleles
During _______________, heat is transferred via direct contact.
conduction
When the temperature of water increases, changing it from a liquid to a gas
evaporation
Resources that formed from the remains of organisms that lived millions of years ago
Fossil Fuels
When oxygen is taken in by the lungs and then transferred throughout the body via blood, which two body systems are working together?
Respiratory and Circulatory
This type of gene requires two copies in order to be expressed in the phenotype (one from each parent)
recessive
During _______________, heat is transferred through waves.
radiation
When the temperature of water vapor in the atmosphere decreases, causing it to change from a gas to a liquid
condensation
________________ are resources that cannot be replaced during our lifetime. They take so long to form that once we've used them, we will not get anymore.
Non-renewable resources
Tiny structures inside a cell that have specific functions
organelles
When an organism changes to better survive in its environment (happens over a long period of time)
adaptation
As mass increases, does kinetic energy increase or decrease?
increase
When water is released from the stomata of plant leaves
Transpiration
A group of organisms with similar genes that are capable of reproducing
species
List two structural differences between a plant and animal cell.
1. Plant cells have a cell wall
2. Plant cells have chloroplasts for photosynthesis
3. Animal cells have many small vacuoles while plant cells have one large central vacuole
4. Plant cells are typically a boxy shape while animal cells come in many shapes and sizes depending on their function
Differences amongst a population of the same species is called genetic _____________________
variation
The total kinetic energy of an object is ________
thermal energy
