The Circle of Life
The living parts of an ecosystem
What is Biotic Factor?
The theory that populations change over time due to changes in traits
What is evolution?
The three subatomic particles of an atom
What are Proton, Neutron, and Electron?
The remains of an organism from millions of years ago
What is a Fossil?
This health basic is used for building and restoring muscle
What is protein?
The organism the makes its own energy in the food web through photosynthesis
What is Producer?
A trait that helps an organism survive better in the environment (Elephant's trunk)
What is Adaptation?
A substance with two or more compounds and elements mixed together that you can easily separate into different groups
What is a Heterogeneous Mixture?
The process to determine how old a fossil is based on location in rock layers
What is Relative Age?
Glucose, Fructose, Sucrose, OH MY ... All of these are examples of this
What is carbohydrate?
The interconnection of energy flow within an ecosystem (diagram)
What is Food Chain or Food Web?
The theory that those best adapted to the environment, survive and reproduce
What is Natural Selection?
The most stable elements on the Periodic Table (Group 18); they do not react with anything
What are the Noble Gases?
The most accurate determination of the age of a fossil or rock
What is Absolute Age?
The basic sugar; it is created during photosynthesis
What is Glucose?
The location where organisms interact with their physical environment (biotic interacts with abiotic)
What is Ecosystem?
They have the same structure but different function (Human arm, Whale arm, Cat arm, and Bat arm)
What are Homologous Structures?
The process that an object undergoes that CANNOT be changed back into the original object
What is a Chemical Change?
This states that the rocks closer to the surface are younger than the rocks closer to the core
What is the Law of Superposition?
The process of taking oxygen and glucose in and transforming it into energy while releasing carbon dioxide and water
What is Cellular Respiration?
The symbiotic relationship where one organism benefits and the other is neither harmed nor benefits
What is Commensalism?
These have no function within an organism (Exs. Appendix/Ear Muscles/Wisdom Teeth in Humans)
What are Vestigial Structures?
The Law that states matter cannot be created nor destroyed
What is the Law of Conservation of Mass?
The time it takes for a radioactive element to break down in half
What is Half-life?
The special nutrients that your body requires in small quantities
(What do Orange Juice, a Banana, and Sunshine have in common?)
What are Vitamins and Minerals?
