Scientific Method Review
The thing which scientists choose to change in an experiment between trials
The IV- Independent Variable
Multicellular eukaryotes, who are heterotrophs, with no cell ways
The Animal Kingdom
We believe the Earth is how old?
4.6 Billion years
Name an organism that is heavily affected by rising pH levels of the ocean due to the absorption of atmospheric CO2
Coral OR Ammonites (we will accept any marine animal with a shell as well)
An organism that makes it own food
Autotroph
The thing which changes as a direct result of the independent variable
The DV- Dependent Variable
Multicellular eukaryotes which have cell walls, and are autotrophs
Plant Kingdom
Cyanobacteria aka Stromatolites
When volcanoes erupt and spew gases into the air, it is an example of what sphere influencing what?
Geosphere influencing the Atmosphere
An organism that CANNOT make its own food
This acronym helps you to remember where to put the IV and DV on the axis of a graph
DRY MIX
Multicellular Eukaryotes with Cell walls that are heterotrophs
The Fungi Kingdom
The ingredients to make the ocean were supplied to the Earth's atmosphere by
Volcanoes erupting and outgassing the ingredients
What is it called when the ocean absorbs too much atmospheric carbon and its pH raises?
Ocean Acidification
An organism who has a massive impact on all the other organisms in an ecosystem
A keystone species
The goals, requirements, or desired features that a successful solution must achieve.
The criteria
Unicellular prokayrotes. They can have cell walls or might not. Some are autotrops/some heterotrophs. They are an ANCIENT organism.
Archea Kingdom
For a long time, water was trapped in our atmosphere as steam. Eventually it cooled down and rained for millions of years creating what?
The Earth's Oceans
When dead organisms are buried for millions of years and become coal or oil this is an example of what sphere influencing what?
The biosphere influencing the geosphere
An organism whose cells do not contain a nucleus or membrane bound organelles
Prokaryote
The term for the limitations, restrictions, or roadblocks that a solution must respect.
Constraint
They are eukaryotes. Can be multicellular or unicellular. Can have cell walls or not. Some make their own food. Some do not.
Protists and Chromista Kingdoms
The very first atmosphere of our planet was made up of-
Hydrogen and Helium
Deforestation is a problem that accelerates the build up of C02 in the atmosphere because usually trees-
Absorb Carbon aka are a Carbon Sink
An organism whose cells have a nucleus and membrane bound organelles
A eukaryote
