Weather
When air moves from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure.
What is wind?
A boundary between two air masses of different density, moisture, or temperature
What is a front?
The smallest unit of an organism that carries on the functions of life
What is a cell?
A gelatin-like substance that holds other organelles within it.
What is the cytoplasm?
This regulates interactions between the cell and its environment -- it allows substances to move in and out of the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
A large body of air that has properties similar to the part of Earth's surface over which it develops
What is an air mass?
The gentle-sloped boundary that is formed when light, warm air slides over more dense, colder air, causing hours or days of wet weather
What is a warm front?
A place to live, food (energy sources), and water
What are the things that living things need to survive?
These organelles are sent instructions from the Nucleus, through genetic material, to create proteins.
What are ribosomes?
Tough, rigid outer coverings that protect plant cells and give them shape
What are cell walls?
A large body of circulating air with high pressure at its center and lower pressure outside the system
What is a high-pressure system?
When cold air wedges under warm air (like a plow) and as the warm air is lifted, it cools and water vapor condenses, forming clouds (which can bring forth thunderstorms)
What is a cold front?
The two-word naming system used to classify various organisms
What is binomial nomenclature?
In plant cells, food is made in these green organelles
What are chloroplasts?
These are organelles where energy (ATP) is released when food is broken down
What are mitochondria?
A large body of circulating air with low pressure at its center and high pressure outside the system
What is a low-pressure system?
When a boundary between air masses stops moving
What is a stationary front?
The evolutionary history of an organism or how the organism has changed over time
What is phylogeny?
This organelle can be defined as a series of folded membranes in which materials can be processed and moved around inside the cell. There are two types of this type of organelle, smooth (which processes fats and other substances) and rough (which processes proteins).
What is the endoplasmic reticulum?
This organelle consists of stacked, flattened membranes that sort and package proteins and other substances, and send them where they need to go.
What is the Golgi?
A large, swirling, low-pressure system that forms over the warm Atlantic Ocean that causes flooding and severe damage to homes, other buildings, and animals/people.
What is a hurricane?
When a cold air mass moves toward a cool air mass with warm air between the two -- The colder air forces the warm air upward, closing off the warm air from the surface, which can bring forth colder temperatures, strong winds, and heavy precipitation
What is an occluded front?
To be considered ___________, something must: contain organization, grow and develop, respond to internal and external stimuli, maintain homeostasis, use energy, and reproduce.
What is alive? or What is a living thing?
These membrane-bound spaces store water, waste products, food, and other cellular materials.
What are vacuoles?
These organelles contain digestive chemicals that help break down food molecules, wastes, worn-out cell parts, viruses, and bacteria that enter a cell.
What are lysosomes?
