Kinetic and Potential Energy
Potential Energy
What is energy stored in the nucleus of an atom?
Nuclear energy
Energy can't be destroyed or created...only ___________
transformed or transferred
single
This type of interaction occurs when one organism hunts and kills another for food.
Predation
The energy of movement or motion
Kinetic Energy
This is the splitting of the nucleus of an atom.
Nuclear fission
Heat moves from objects that are ___________ to objects that are ______________
warm to cool
Resource
The type of interaction where different species eat the same foods in an area
competition
The ability to do work or cause a change
energy
This is the total potential and Kinetic energy in a particle
thermal energy
This type of transfer occurs in a liquid or gas in a circular path. Cooler substances heat and rise, then cool and fall.
convection
All the non-living factors in an environment. Tell me the word and list 2 examples.
abiotic factor, soil, water, sunlight
commensalism
Tell me 3 types of Potential Energy
gravitational potential, elastic potential, chemical potential
The energy in the food you eat, the cells of your body, and the substances that make a light stick glow
chemical energy
This is the transfer of thermal energy from one particle to another through direct contact.
conduction
All the living things in an environment. Tell me the word and some examples.
Biotic Factors - animals, plants
A relationship between organisms where 1 is benefited and the other is harmed.
Parasitism
The energy an object has due to its motion, shape, position, or a combination of those factors
mechanical energy
This is the energy used to power devices
electrical energy
This is the transfer of energy through waves. It does not require matter.
Radiation
All the members of one species that live in a particular area
population
A relationship between 2 organisms in which both benefit.
