Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons
What are the three subatomic particles of an atom?
The number of protons listed for an element on the periodic table
What is the Atomic Mass?
This organelle is known as the powerhouse of the cell
What is the mitochondria?
This system is responsible for sensing and responding to stimuli.
What is the nervous system?
This is an advantage for animals who use sexual reproduction
What is genetic diversity?
These are the two particles found in the nucleus.
What is the proton and the neutron?
This type of mixture has a uniform composition throughout
What is homogenous mixture?
This structure controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell
What is the cell membrane?
This system is involved in gas exchange, providing oxygen to the body
What is the respiratory system?
6CO2+6H2O+light energy→C6H12O6+6O2 is the chemical equation for this process
What is photosynthesis?
Two or more elements chemically combined
What is a compound?
This happens to particle motion when the temperature of a system increases
What is the particle's speed up?
This organelle contains chlorophyll and is the site of photosynthesis.
What is the chloroplast?
Groups of organs that work together to perform complex functions form this
What is an organ system?
These are structural changes to genes on chromosomes and can result in beneficial, harmful, or neutral effects.
What is a mutation?
A mixture that has different properties throughout.
What is a Heterogenous Mixture
When pressure is increased in a gas, this happens to the volume
What is the volume decreases?
This organelle is responsible for storing materials such as water, nutrients, and waste.
What is the Vacuole?
Place these words in order from least to most complex:
organs
organism
cells
organ systems
tissues
Cells, tissue, organ, organ systems, organism
This is the cell division for asexual reproduction but is also used for growth and repair for sexually reproductive animals (hint: it creates identical daughter cells)
What is mitosis?
In any chemical process, matter is neither lost nor gained.
What is the Law of Conservation of Matter?
This type of equation shows that the number of atoms for each element is the same on both sides of the reaction
What is a balanced equation?
This structure helps maintain the shape and rigidity of plant cells.
What is the cell wall?
This process involves all levels of organization working together to maintain life
What is homeostasis?
This is the most abundant gas in the atmosphere
What is Nitrogen?
