Earth Science
Thick Layer surrounding Earth's outer core
mantle
The shape of the Milky Way can be described as?
a spiral disk
The two gasses that compose the majority of the Earth's Atmosphere
Nitrogen and Oxygen
Highest level on the biological classification scale. ALL living creatures are classified as part of the Kingdom.
kingdom
Further, final breakdown. Ex: Cod are in Gadus Genus to differentiate them form the other fish in the Gadidae family.
The most inside layer of the Earth
Inner Core
What is the moon's position relative to Earth during a lunar Eclipse?
The moon and sun are on opposite sides of the earth
Phase of mitosis when the duplicated chromosomes line up along the equatorial plate of the spindle
Metaphase
Splits animals by major characteristics. Vertebrates (fish, mammals) are in the Chordata Phylum.
Phylum
The final step and pinpoints the exact creature.
Species
Closest to the Inner Core
outer core
Plants are _________ because they produce their own food
producers
The structure responsible for regulating basic functions of the respiration and heartbeat
Brainstem
Distinguishes further. Fish are divided into Chondrichthyes (cartilaginous fish) and Osteichthyes (bony fish).
Class
What are made up of cells: they grow, respond to stimuli, are are capable of reproduction
Must adapt to environmental changes
Carry on metabolic processes: they use and make energy
living things
The most outside layer of the Earth
crust
Animals are called _______ because they cannot make their own food, so they eat plants and/or animals
consumers
A behavioral response from an organism is determined by what two factors?
Heredity and experience
Further differentiates by physical characteristics.
order
Cells that contain a mitochondria but it excretes carbon dioxide and water
plant cells
Mountains are most likely to form along which type of plate boundary?
convergent
Bacteria and fungi are called ________. They eat decaying matter - dead plants and animals and in the process they break them down and decompose them when that happens, the release nutrients and minerals back into the soil.
Decomposers
Number of pairs of chromosomes are within a typical cell in a human body
23 Pairs of Chromosomes
Follows on from order by placing into groups by further physical characteristics. Ex: cod, coalfish, pollock and whiting are all members of the Gadidae family, and share features such as all having three dorsal fins.
family
Has a membrane, contains DNA, requires energy, contains basic chemicals to make metabolic decisions for survival and reproduces
