What is the pigment found in chloroplasts that absorbs sunlight?
Chlorophyll
What is the name of the 8th planet (from the sun) in our solar system?
NeptunešŖ
What rigid outer layer is only found in plant cells?
The Cell Wall
What is the name of the energy-making process that happens inside the chloroplast?
Photosynthesis
What gas do all animals require for aerobic cellular respiration to happen?
Oxygen
Name the three things a plant requires for photosynthesis to occur.
Carbon Dioxide, Water, and Sunlight
In the water cycle, what do we call the process where water vapor cools down and changes back into liquid water, forming clouds?
Condensation
What is the name of the large organelles that store water and helps keep the plant upright?
The Vacuoles
What organelle's job is to break down waste materials, worn-out cell parts, and invading bacteria?
Lysosome
What chemical energy molecule is created by the mitochondria because of cellular respiration?
ATP
(Adenosine Triphosphate)
What is the main product (food) that photosynthesis makes for the plant?
Glucose (Sugar)
What is Carbon Dioxide on the Periodic Table?
C02
Name a structural component that is found in animal cells but not in plant cells.
Lysosomes
What is the thin, flexible boundary surrounding the cell that controls which substances (like nutrients, water, and waste) can enter and leave, making it selectively permeable?
Cell Membrane
What two products (not chemical energy) does cellular respiration produce that benefit plants?
Carbon Dioxide and Water
What is the gas product of photosynthesis that humans depend on?
Oxygen
What was the object Atlas3i, the large object passing through our solar system, classified as?
An Interstellar Object
This clear, jelly-like substance fills the cell, surrounding the organelles, and is the site of many vital metabolic activities.
The cytoplasm
What is the large, central organelle that contains the cell's DNA and acts as the control center, managing all cellular activities, including growth and reproduction?
What are the two types of cellular respiration?
Anaerobic Respiration and Aerobic Respiration
What are the two types of energy required for the overall process of photosynthesis to work?
Light Energy (from the sun) and Chemical Energy (stored in the resulting glucose)
Which layer of the Earth is the hottest and is made up mostly of molten iron and nickel?
The Core
