Lab Rookie
The process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make their own food and release oxygen.
What is "Photosynthesis" ?
The process by which cells break down glucose to release energy for the organism to use.
What is "Cellular Respiration" ?
The process by which an organism maintains a stable internal environment, such as keeping body temperature constant.
What is "Homeostasis"?
A chemical reaction in which a substance loses electrons, often when it combines with oxygen.
What is "Oxidation"?
The study of heat, energy, and how energy is transferred or transformed.
What is "Thermodynamics"?
A community of living things and the non-living environment where they interact.
What is an "Ecosystem" ?
The process in which one cell divides to produce two identical cells for growth and repair.
What is "Mitosis" ?
The rate at which an object's velocity changes over time.
What is "Acceleration"?
he process of using electricity to cause a chemical reaction, such as splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen.
What is "Electrolysis" ?
A laboratory technique used to separate and identify the different substances in a mixture.
What is "Chromatography"?
The process in which a liquid changes into a gas, usually when heated.
What is "Evaporation" ?
The variety of different living things in a particular area or on Earth.
What is "Biodiversity" ?
The calculation of the amounts of substances involved in a chemical reaction.
What is "Stoichiometry"?
A compound made only of hydrogen and carbon atoms, commonly found in fuels such as natural gas and gasoline.
What is "Hydrocarbon"?
A very large molecule made of many smaller units, such as proteins, DNA, or starch.
What is a "Macromolecule"?
Any living thing, such as a plant, animal, fungus, or bacterium.
What is an "Organism" ?
The transfer of heat through the movement of liquids or gases.
What is "Convection"?
A measure of how strongly an atom attracts electrons when it forms a chemical bond.
What is "Electronegativity" ?
The chemical process in which many small molecules (monomers) join together to form a large molecule called a polymer.
What is "Polymerization"?
Relating to chemical reactions that involve the movement of electrons and the production or use of electricity.
What is "Electrochemical"?
A major change in the body form of an animal as it grows, such as a caterpillar changing into a butterfly.
What is "Metamorphosis" ?
Relating to electricity and magnetism, such as electromagnetic waves that include light, radio waves, and X-rays.
What is "Electromagnetic" ?
A state in which opposing forces or chemical reactions are balanced, so there is no overall change.
What is "Equilibrium" ?
The process by which harmful substances become more concentrated in organisms at higher levels of a food chain.
What is "Biomagnification"?
Describing the movement and recycling of chemical elements, such as carbon or nitrogen, through living organisms and the environment.
What is "Biogeochemical"?
