Cells
This organelle protects the plant cell
What is cell wall?
This type of energy is often called "stored energy" or the energy of position.
What is Potential Energy?
This type of eclipse occurs when the Moon passes directly between the Earth and the Sun, temporarily blocking the Sun's light from reaching certain parts of Earth.
What is a Solar Eclipse?
These organisms, typically plants or algae, form the base of every food web by using sunlight to create their own food through photosynthesis.
What are Producers (or Autotrophs)?
At the very top of a roller coaster's first hill, the train has the maximum amount of this specific type of energy.
What is Gravitational Potential Energy? *Potential Energy
This organelle is the powerhouse of the cell
What is the mitochondria?
This is the energy an object possesses due to its movement.
What is Kinetic Energy?
When the visible part of the Moon is growing larger each night as it moves from a New Moon toward a Full Moon, it is described by this "W" term.
What is Waxing?
In a food web diagram, this specific part of the graphic points from one organism to another to show the direction of energy flow.
What is the Arrow?
As a roller coaster zooms down a steep drop, its potential energy is rapidly being converted into this.
What is Kinetic Energy?
This organelle acts as a biological "post office," receiving proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum to be modified, sorted, and packaged into vesicles for transport.
What is the Golgi Apparatus (or Golgi Body)?
If you double the velocity of a moving car, its kinetic energy increases by this many times.
What is four times?
In this specific phase, the Moon has traveled one-quarter of the way around the Earth and appears as a perfect half-circle in the sky.
What is the First Quarter Moon?
This term describes an animal that has no natural predators and sits at the very top of its food web, such as a lion or an orca.
What is an Apex Predator?
To calculate Gravitational Potential Energy, you must multiply mass, the acceleration due to gravity, and this third variable.
What is Height? (PE = mgh)
While animal cells contain many small versions of this organelle, plants typically possess one massive, central version that can take up to 90% of the cell's volume.
What is Vacuole?
This specific form of potential energy is stored in a compressed spring or a stretched rubber band.
What is Elastic Potential Energy?
Unlike a solar eclipse, which requires special glasses, a lunar eclipse is safe to view with the naked eye because you are simply looking at this being cast onto the Moon’s surface.
What is Earth's Shadow?
Often forgotten in simple diagrams, these organisms like fungi and bacteria break down dead matter, returning vital nutrients to the soil for producers to use.
What are Decomposers?
Named after an English physicist, this is the standard SI unit used to measure both kinetic and potential energy.
What is the Joule?
Covered in ribosomes, this "rough" network of membranes serves as the primary site for protein synthesis and folding before sending them off to the Golgi.
What is the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (or Rough ER)?
According to this fundamental law, energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from potential to kinetic (and other forms).
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?
During a lunar eclipse, the Moon enters this specific, darkest part of the Earth's shadow where the Sun is completely obscured.
What is the Umbra?
In the following food chain this is the secondary consumer
Grass--> Bunny--> Snake--> Hawk--> Earthworm
What is snake?
A 2 kg book sitting on a shelf 5 meters high has approximately this many Joules of potential energy
What is 98 Joules?
