What is energy?
power derived from the utilization of physical or chemical resources
What is combustion?
In combustion reactions, fuels are burned. The fuel reacts with oxygen to release energy.
What are the 6 senses?
touch, smell, taste, mechanosensation, proprioception, vision
How is combustion useful?
Heaters, powers cars, fires, generates electricity
What other animals use mechanoreception?
salamanders, and fish
What it potential energy
the stored energy in an object due to its position, arrangement, or state, meaning it has the potential to do work
What does fire need ?
fuel, oxygen, heat
What are sensory receptors?
They are like tiny detectors that detect different things and send messages to our brain, which helps us understand what we are experiencing.
What are the five fuels ?
wood, coal, oil, gas, butane
What are taste buds ?
Taste buds are sensory organs located on the surface of the tongue and some other areas of the oral cavity. They are responsible for our sense of taste, allowing us to perceive and distinguish different flavors.
What is kinetic energy?
the energy an object possesses due to its motion
What are fuels?
A fuel is a substance which is burned to release energy. There are lots of different types of fuels. Some are more effective and expensive than others.
What is responsible for detecting smell?
olfactory nerves, tract, and bulb
If you were carrying out a combustion reaction using a Bunsen burner, what safety rules would you suggest?
PPE
What are photoreceptors ?
Photoreceptors are specialized cells found in the retina of the eye that are responsible for detecting and responding to light.
cones and rods
What is drag?
a resistive force that opposes the motion of an object
What color does strontium produce?
red
Hair cells are the sensory receptors responsible for our sense of hearing. They are specialized cells found in the inner ear, specifically in the cochlea. Hair cells play a vital role in converting sound vibrations into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the brain.
What produces a purple color in fireworks?
Potassium
What does the Meissner's Corpuscles do?
Meissner's corpuscles are sensitive to light touch and low-frequency vibrations.
What is gravity ?
a fundamental force of attraction between any two objects with mass
What is oxidation ?
Oxidation is a type of chemical reaction when a substance reacts with oxygen. Combustion is an example of an oxidation reaction.
What are mechanoreceptors?
Mechanoreceptors are sensory receptors that are specialized in detecting mechanical stimuli, such as pressure, touch, vibration, and stretch.
What produces a yellow color in fireworks?
sodium
What does the Olfactory Bulb do ?
This is responsible for processing and interpreting information about different smells detected by our olfactory receptors in the nose.
