If an object __________ light, it means light passes through the object.

  transmits

What is a closed system?

A system where nothing can get in or out. An example would be our cups with a lid on and the straw hole taped shut.

What is a tsunami?

An ocean wave is caused by an underwater earthquake or volcanic eruption.

Cell organelles are filled with enzymes needed to break down certain materials in the cell.

lysosome

How was Mt. Everest formed?

The Indian plate is running into the Eurasian plate.

If an object ___________ light, it means light bounces off the object.

Reflects

According to our Particle Representations handout, what is this image modeling?

The inside of the lid of a closed cup system.

We studied a large tsunami that occurred in Ryoishi, Japan back in 2011. What happened to Ryoishi in the tsunami?

The small community was almost completely destroyed as their seawall was broken.

200

A cell organelle that converts the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use. (the powerhouse of the cell)

Mitochondrion

200

What happens to the rock as your drill farther and farther into the Earth?

It gets warmer

300

When light travels through the lens of our eye what happens to it?

 The light is focused to a point on our retina

300

We did a demonstration with 2 closed cups containing ice water. What did we find out?

The cups gained a little bit of mass from the water droplets that formed on the outside of the cups.

What types of earthquakes typically cause tsunamis?

What types of earthquakes typically cause tsunamis?

300

Match the body system with its function [Nervous System]

collects and responds to information from inside and outside of the body, sends instructions to the rest of the body about what to do

300

What happens at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge?

Two plates are moving apart in a process called seafloor spreading

400

How do we see objects?

Light bounces off the objects and travels to our eyes.

400

Where do the water droplets that form on the outside of a glass of ice water come from?

They come from the water vapor in the air around the glass.

One of the 3 videos we watched during Lesson 3 showed.......

an earthquake which caused a ripple affect of waves which went across the entire Pacific Ocean in about one day.

400

The cytoskeleton is a network of fibers that holds the cell together, helps the cell to keep its shape, and aids in movement

true

400

Subduction zone

Where an oceanic plate goes under a continental plate causing a trench

500

In our unit we have learned that no light reflects, or bounces off, regular glass.

false

500

According to our Particle Representations handout, what is this image modeling?

The space above the liquid of a closed cup system.

500

Where do most tsunamis happen?

Around the ring of fire which surrounds the Pacific Ocean.

Receives the small proteins from the ER and assembles them into larger, more complex proteins. Then, it either stores the large proteins or packages them for shipping to a specific part of a cell.
