Matter & Chemical Reactions
This is a substance that consists of only one type of atom.
What is an element?
This is energy due to motion.
What is kinetic energy?
This is the smallest unit of life.
What is a cell?
This includes all living and nonliving things in a given area.
What is an ecosystem?
This is a trait or behavior that helps a living thing survive and reproduce.
What is an adaptation?
This is the amount of matter in an object.
What is mass?
This is stored energy due to interactions between objects or particles.
What is potential energy?
This is a living thing made of only one cell.
What is a unicellular organism?
This is all the organisms of the same species living in the same area at the same time.
What is a population?
This is the variety of living things in an area.
What is biodiversity?
This is a starting substance in a chemical reaction.
What is a reactant?
This is energy stored in stretched or compressed objects, like springs or rubber bands.
What is elastic potential energy?
This flexible covering protects the inside of a cell from the outside environment.
What is the cell membrane?
This is a factor that can limit the growth of a population.
What is a limiting factor?
This is a close, long-term relationship between two species.
What is symbiosis?
This law says the total mass before a chemical reaction equals the total mass after the reaction.
What is the law of conservation of mass?
This is the transfer of energy to an object by a force that makes it move in the direction of the force.
What is work?
This organelle directs cell activity and contains DNA.
What is the nucleus?
This is an organism that cannot make its own food and gets energy by eating other organisms.
What is a consumer?
This symbiotic relationship benefits both organisms.
What is mutualism?
This type of reaction requires more energy to break bonds than is released when products form.
What is an endothermic reaction?
This law says energy is transferred, but it is not created or destroyed.
What is the law of conservation of energy?
This organelle uses light energy to make glucose from water and carbon dioxide.
What is a chloroplast?
This model shows the amount of energy available at each link of a food chain.
What is an energy pyramid?
This symbiotic relationship benefits one organism while the other is harmed.
What is parasitism?
