The Pressure is on
This is the weight of the air above a given area.
What is air pressure?
This is the amount air pressure exerted at Earth's surface in pounds per square inch.
What is 14.7 PSI?
This body system coordinates responses to stimuli and sends messages throughout the body.
What is the nervous system?
What form of energy is transformed into chemical energy during photosynthesis?
What is light energy from the Sun?
When you rub your hands together and they become warm, mechanical energy is being converted into this form of energy.
What is Thermal Energy?
This is an area where air pressure is lower than the surrounding areas.
What is a low-pressure system?
This it the color is used to represent a low-pressure system on a weather map.
What is red?
These two body systems work together to deliver oxygen to muscles during exercise.
What are the respiratory and circulatory systems?
During photosynthesis, carbon atoms from carbon dioxide become part of what product?
What is glucose (sugar)?
This method of heat transfer causes a metal spoon to become hot when left in soup.
What is Conduction?
These are the two factors that air pressure depend on.
What is temperature and density?
This is what causes winds to curve as Earth rotates.
What is the Coriolis Effect?
This organ in the digestive system is the main site for absorption.
What is the small intestine?
If this tissue were damaged, water and minerals could not move from the roots to the leaves, causing the plant to wilt.
What is xylem?
As thermal energy increases, this happens to the motion of particles.
What is they move faster?
North of the equator, winds around a high-pressure system rotate in this direction.
What is clockwise?
An area where air pressure is higher than the surrounding areas.
What is a high-pressure system?
These tiny air sacs allow for Carbon Dioxide to leave the lungs and Oxygen to come in
What are Alveolis?
On a hot, dry day, plants may close these structures to reduce water loss through transpiration.
What are Stomata?
A hot air balloon rises because heating the air inside causes the particles to spread out, making the air less dense through this type of heat transfer.
What is convection?
Density is calculated using this equation.
What is mass divided by volume?
This is the term for the swirling motion around a high-pressure system?
What is a Cyclonic Flow?
This is the name of the blood vessel that carries deoxygenated blood away from the heart to the lungs.
What is the Pulmonary Artery?
This is the balanced chemical equation for photosynthesis.
What is 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂?
This scientific law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed.
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?
