What layer of the Earth, made of solid rock, is broken into tectonic plates?
lithosphere
What are the three main types of rocks?
Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks
How many planets are in our solar system?
8 (rip pluto)
What 2 components make up the phospholipids in a plasma membrane?

What happens when two tectonic plates slide past each other?
A transform boundary forms
BONUS: Describe the kinds of earthquakes that occur at transform plate boundaries. 200 pts.
What process turns sediment into sedimentary rock?
Compaction (incredible pressure) and cementation (minerals cementing sediments together)
BONUS: Name an sedimentary rock. 100 pts.
Which planet is known as the "Red Planet"?
Mars
List two functions of the plasma membrane.
1. Provide a barrier for entry against toxins, bacteria, viruses, etc.
2. Allow nutrients and water into the cell.
3. Allow waste to leave the cell.
4. Cell-cell communication.
BONUS: What’s the name of this song? 15 seconds. 100 pts.
What are two organelles that plants have, but animals don’t?
Chloroplast, central vacuole, cell wall, plasmodesmata
What is the process called when new crust forms at a mid-ocean ridge?
Seafloor spreading
BONUS: In which country does the “seafloor spreading” reach above the surface of the ocean? 100 pts.
What drives the rock cycle?
Earth's internal heat and surface processes like erosion
BONUS: List the rock cycle. 300 pts.
What is the largest planet in the solar system?
Jupiter
Why does the plasma membrane form a bilayer?
Hydrophobic tails avoid water, hydrophilic heads love water, bilayer prevents tails from touching water and heads point towards the inside and outside of the cell where aqueous solutions are.
This organelle is like the mailman at the post office! He takes in materials, packages them, and then sends them back out to a different area! What am I?
Golgi apparatus
BONUS: Listen to this song for 15 secs and get 100 pts if you guess the name right.
What two types of plates meet at a subduction zone?
Oceanic plates and continental plates
BONUS: Name the 2 kinds of convergences that occur at these subduction zones and also name the convergence that occurs without subduction. 200 pts.
What’s the term for metamorphic rocks that have layers or bands?
Foliation or foliated
How many moons does Jupiter have? (guess within +/-10)
95
If I have a high concentration of sugar outside of the cell and a low concentration inside of the cell, what would happen and how?
The high sugar concentration would move to a lower concentration. Because sugar molecules are so large, they must go through channel proteins in the plasma membrane.
BONUS: what type of transport is this? 100 pts.
Many diseases are caused by a malfunction or lack of specific organelles. If someone has a disease where their mitochondria in their muscles doesn’t work well, what kind of symptoms would they have and why?
(What does the mitochondria do? How would this affect muscle cells?
Malfunctioning mitochondria = lack of energy for the cell (ATP) =
weakness, fatigue, smaller muscles
BONUS: What is the name of this disease? 100pts.
What geological feature forms when two continental plates collide?
A mountain range
BONUS: What other kind of plate tectonic action creates mountains? Explain the process. 500 pts. (This one can be stolen by other teams!)
Why do intrusive igneous rocks have larger crystals than extrusive igneous rocks?
Because they cool slowly, giving crystals more time to form
BONUS: Name an extrusive igneous rock that doesn’t have any crystals. 100 pts.
