The 3 parts of cell theory are:
1. All living things are made of cells
2. Cells are the basic unit of life

A shark's tail, also called this:
What is the caudal fin?
Rotates around its axis
This is the main energy source for all weather on Earth
The Sun
Why are cities usually warmer than more rural areas?
Concrete has a lower specific heat so it heats up more than rural areas with more vegetation
The main differences between a plant and animal cell include:
Plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts while animal cells do not

What are ocean currents and what do they do?

1 - Higher highs, lower lows; more variable (Sun, Earth & Moon aligned)
2 - Lower highs, higher lows; more even (Sun and Moon at 90 degree angle)
2 - Neap Tides
These are the conditions needed for a hurricane:

Primary Succession
List the 3 types of adaptations:
1. Structural
2. Behavioral
3. Physiological

These opposite parts of the Earth experience the most seasonal temperature change
The poles (North/South)
When talking about air masses, cP means this and mT stands for this:
cP: Continental Polar (Dry and Cold)
mT: Maritime Tropical (Wet and Warm)
These 4 human activities discussed in class negatively impact the environment:
Overfishing, Deforestation, Urbanization and Pollution
A Punnett square for parents that are CC x cc respectively will produce offspring that are:
All Cc (100% chance of having the dominant trait)
This faint sensory organ, helps sharks detect vibration and movements in the water
