Cells/Photosynthesis
What are cells made of?
How does population affect the planet?
Overpopulation leads to more natural resources needed for these people to survive causing natural resources to run out.

Inner Core - Outer Core - Lower Mantle - Upper Mantle - Crust
What does it mean for something to be synthetic?
It is made my reacting simple chemical compounds to create something to mimic a natural product.
What are the parts of an atom?
Proton, Neutron and Electron
What is created during cellular respiration?
CO2 and H2O
What is the difference between natural hazards and natural disasters?
Natural disasters are natural hazards that actually happened.
Name three periods in Earth's history.
Quarternary, Tertiary, Cretaceous, Jurassic, Triassic, Permian, Pennsylvanian, Mississippian, Devonian, Silurian, Ordovician, Cambrian
Name three examples of synthetic foods and medicines.
Insulin, Tylenol, Yogurt, Soy Sauce
How is the periodic table organized?
In patterns of trends across as well as up and down.
How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration related?
They are chemically opposite.
Name three examples of geological hazards.
Volcanoes
Earthquakes
Landslides
Avalanches
What geological process creates metamorphic rock?
Heat and Pressure
What is the "formula" of a combustion reaction?

What does it mean for an organism to be heterozygous for a trait?
They have two different alleles (one dominant and one recessive)
What is hazard risk?
What is bathymetry?
The measurement of depth of water in oceans, seas, or lakes.
How are single replacement and double replacement different?
In single replacement, only one component is being replaced with another, while in double replacement, two componenets are swapping spots.
Name two ways you can tell if a chemical reaction has occurred.
Temperature change, gas formation, color change, precipitate formation, odor change, something is burning, light is produced
Name 5 organelles and their functions.
Nucleus - control center of the cell
Mitochondria - powerhouse of the cell
Endoplamic Reticulum - highway of the cell
Golgi Apparatus - post office of the cell
Ribosome - makes proteins
Cytoplasm - jelly-like fluid inside the cell
Lysosome - breaks down waste
Membrane - cell's barriers to the outside
Chloroplast - produces energy through photosynthesis
Cell Wall - structural support to the cell
Vacuole - maintains water balance and nutrients

Radiosones
Airplanes
Doppler Radar
Supercomputers
Satellites
What is permineralization?
When mineralized water enter pores of bones and leaves behind hard deposits.
What tests can we use to identify fibers?
Microscopic observation, burning, thermal decomposition, chemical tests, dye analysis and density
