Cell Biology
This rigid outer layer provides structure and support specifically to plant cells.
What is the cell wall?
The three states of matter.
What are solid, liquid, and gas?
This type of rock is formed by the cooling and solidifying of magma or lava.
What is igneous rock?
This human body system is responsible for taking in oxygen and removing carbon dioxide.
What is the respiratory system?
This type of mixture is uniform throughout, meaning you cannot see the individual parts, like salt dissolved in water.
What is a homogeneous mixture (or a solution)?
This organelle is known as the "powerhouse" of the cell because it generates ATP energy.
What is the mitochondria?
The sum of all forces acting on an object is called this.
What is a net force?
This process moves weathered rock and soil from one location to another.
What is erosion?
This network of organs and vessels transports oxygen, nutrients, and waste throughout the body.
What is the circulatory system?
This type of energy is the total kinetic energy of all the particles in an object and always flows from warmer objects to cooler ones.
What is thermal energy?
This is the green pigment in plant cells that captures light energy for photosynthesis.
What is chlorophyll?
When these types of forces act on an object, they are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in zero change in the object's motion.
What is a balanced force?
This layer of the Earth is broken into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid mantle.
What is the lithosphere (or crust)?
In plants, these systems function to transport water and food throughout the organism.
What are the xylem and phloem?
This is the substance that gets dissolved in a solution, such as the sugar in a glass of sweet tea.
What is a solute?
The organelle responsible for sorting and packaging proteins to be transported out of the cell.
What is the Golgi body (or Golgi apparatus)?
This is the measurement of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object.
What is temperature?
The four agents of erosion.
What are wind, water, ice, and gravity?
This specialized muscle beneath the lungs contracts and relaxes to allow breathing.
What is the diaphragm?
This law states that matter cannot be created or destroyed during a chemical reaction, meaning the mass of the reactants must equal the mass of the products.
What is the Law of Conservation of Mass (or matter)?
In this cellular process, food (glucose) and oxygen are broken down into carbon dioxide, water, and energy.
What is cellular respiration?
According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, force is equal to mass multiplied by this.
What is acceleration?
Located in the mantel, this change in density and temperature causes movement of the tectonic plates.
What are convection currents?
This is the primary function of the endocrine system.
What is to produce and release hormones that regulate body functions?
Crushing a solid solute increases this property, allowing it to dissolve much faster in a solvent.
What is surface area?
