Who founded the science of Physics? He also created Calculus by the age of 30.
Sir Issac Newton
The basic unit of life.
Cell
The arrows in a food web point in which direction?
The arrows show the movement of energy. (toward the consumer)
What did Wegener call the super-continent in his theory?
Pangea
What was Wegener's theory that explained how continents move?
Continental Drift (Plate Tectonics)
If the mass of an object is 10 kg and it is moving with an acceleration of 7 m/s/s, what is the force of the object?
70 Newtons
Who founded the theory of Natural Selection?
Charles Darwin
Interconnected food chains that show energy movement are known as what?
Food Web
__________ energy is the energy of movement.
Kinetic
What are the three types of plate boundaries?
Divergent, Convergent, Transform (slip)
The height of a roller coaster is 100 meters, and the mass of the cart is 50 Kg. What is the potential energy of the cart at the top of the hill? (gravity is equal to 9.8m/s/s)
49,000 J ( 50,000 J if estimating)
Which part of the cell is responsible for connecting amino acids together to form proteins?
Ribosoms
What are three common characteristics of all carnivores?
Sharp teeth, eyes on the front of the face, camouflage, and a lot more!
Who really discovered the structure of DNA?
Rosalind Franklin
What were three pieces of evidence that Wegener used to support his theory of continental movement?
Mountain Ranges, Fossil Evidence, Rock Layers, Movement of Glaciers
What is the difference between mass and weight?
Weight is a force because gravity is a part of the equation. Mass is basically weight without the impacts of gravity.
What are the two parts of a cell that are only found in plant cells?
Cell wall
Vacuole
A _________ factor is anything in an ecosystem that is non-living, but has an impact on the overall health of the environment.
Abiotic
Who was the naturalist who developed a theory similar to Darwin's theory of Natural Selection?
Sir Alfred Wallace
What is the driving force within the mantle for plate movement?
Convection Currents
What are the three laws of motion?
*100-point bonus for any group that can name them in order.
1. Law of Inertia
2. Force = mass X acceleration
3. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
What are the three forms of symbiosis?
Mutualism
Commensalism
Parasitism
What is the 10% Rule?
Only 10% of the energy passed on to the consumer.
