Green Things
Imagine a factory powered by sunlight that turns carbon dioxide and water into sugar and oxygen. This process is essential for plant growth and sustains life on Earth by producing oxygen. What is the name of the process by which plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into energy?
Photosynthesis
No two humans have the same fingerprint. It is unique to their DNA. Just like zebras don't have the same set of these because it is unique to their DNA.
Stripes
Bodies have the ability to move in a variety of ways. Without these, your body would be one big puddle.
Bones
The electron volt is a measure of which of this e initial word?
Energy
Which scientist is credited with discovering cells?
Robert Hooke
Which of the following atmospheric layers contains the ozone layer?
Stratosphere
Because of their large size and heavy legs, this animal is the only mammal that cannot jump
Elephant
The stomach begins the process of digesting food by producing this type of chemical.
Enzymes
Which of the following reactions always releases heat?
EXOTHERMIC
Global warming has a large impact on our environment. Recently in the northern arctic and subarctic regions of Canada and Siberia, wildfires have abruptly intensified due the thawing of this substance.
Permafrost
These unique plants thrive in nutrient-poor environments by trapping and digesting insects and other small animals to obtain nutrients like nitrogen. What type of plants, such as Venus flytraps and pitcher plants, obtain nutrients by trapping and digesting insects?
Carnivorous Plants
This animal is an arthropod, related to crabs and lobsters that feeds by standing on its head and kicking food in its mouth?
Barnacle
As you age, many parts of your body start to deteriorate. This condition causes weak and brittle bones, increasing the risk of fractures.
Osteoporosis
The pH scale can be used to quantify which of the following properties of a solution?
BASICITY
What process can be described as “descent with modification”, suggesting that all life on Earth shares a common ancestor that gave rise to the fantastic diversity we see today?
Evolution
These trees go through a dramatic seasonal change, losing their leaves in the fall and regrowing them in the spring to conserve energy during the colder months. What type of trees lose their leaves annually in the fall?
Deciduous Trees
In an aquatic system, what are the TWO major microbial producers?
ALGAE AND PHYTOPLANKTON
Put the following four in order from LEAST to MOST complex: 1) organs, 2) molecules, 3) tissues, 4) cells.
MOLECULES, CELLS, TISSUES, AND ORGANS
What is the general term for a device used to measure atmospheric pressure?
BAROMETER
In 1997, for the first time, NASA sent this rover to Mars.
Sojourner
These tiny openings on the underside of leaves are like doors, allowing gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide to pass in and out, playing a key role in photosynthesis and respiration. What are the small openings on plant leaves that regulate gas exchange?
Stomata
Hippos secrete an oily red substance that protects them from this type of radiation
Ultraviolet Rays (UV Rays)
We have 2 but could live with one. It enlarges with the absence of the other. Without it your body would not be able to filter blood to remove waste and excess fluids.
Kidneys
What best describes the nanometers of wavelength for visible light?
380-720
Communication of astronauts is very important for explorations. NASA along with other technology pioneers are working to bring this type communication to the moon.
