Earth Science
This process is when water changes from liquid to gas and enters the atmosphere.
What is Evaporation?
The smallest unit of life that all organisms are made of.
What is a cell?
This is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles.
What is temperature?
Burning fossil fuels releases these gases that contribute to global warming.
What is greenhouse gases?
When heat is added to matter, what happens to particle motion?
What is heat?
Differences in this property of water (caused by temperature and salinity) drive ocean currents.
What is density?
This cell structure controls what enters and leaves the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
Energy always moves from this type of object to a colder one.
What is a hotter object?
This greenhouse gas is produced mainly by this human impact.
What is livestock?
Greenhouse gases trap this form of energy and keep the planet warm.
What is heat or thermal energy?
These are resources that we can consume that damage the environment and they cannot be replaced in a lifetime.
What is nonrenewable resources?
This is an organism that does not have a nucleus but still has DNA.
What is a prokaryote?
When two objects collide they transfer this form of energy.
What is kinetic energy?
This solution for reducing carbon dioxide in the environment uses an organism to reduce carbon dioxide's impact.
What is reforestation?
These two atoms come together to form carbon dioxide.
What is carbon and oxygen?
This effect can cause prevailing winds to change direction and use the Earth's spin to alter the climate.
What is the Coriolis effect?
In the human body we see multiple specialized cells coming together to create these.
What are tissues?
I would use this when I want to minimize energy transfer.
What is an insulator?
Data centers use quite a bit of these two resources.
What is energy and freshwater?
These two compounds are the products of cellular respiration.
What is water and carbon dioxide?
These three things determine climate and ultimately weather.
What is latitude, prevailing winds, and ocean currents?
Offspring from sexual reproduction show variation in traits for this reason.
What is offspring receive and inherit different combinations of genes from each parent?
Why does a large pot of water take longer to heat than a small cup?
The large pot requires more energy because it has more matter.
The damage caused by hurricane Katrina could have been prevented by restoring this natural habitat.
What is wetlands?
Mitochondria in cells use this sugar for energy production.
What is glucose?
