Biology
This organelle is the powerhouse of the cell.
What are mitochondria?
This subatomic particle carries a negative charge
What is an electron?
This term describes an object's tendency to resist any change in its motion.
What is inertia?
This is the variety of living organisms found in an ecosystem
What is biodiversity?
This is the star at the center of our solar system
What is the Sun?
This British primatologist is widely considered the world's foremost expert on chimpanzees after spending decades studying them in Gombe Stream National Park.
Who is Jane Goodall?
This periodic trend measures an atom's ability to attract shared electrons in a chemical bond.
What is electronegativity?
This term refers to energy stored due to an object's position, calculated as mass times gravity times height.
What is gravitational potential energy?
This process occurs when plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to make glucose
What is photosynthesis?
This planet is known for its prominent ring system
What is Jupiter?
This type of symbiotic relationship benefits one organism while leaving the other completely unaffected
What is commensalism
This type of mixture is uniform throughout, meaning you cannot see the individual parts.
What is a homogeneous mixture?
This temperature scale has an absolute zero point where all thermal motion ceases.
What is Kelvin?
This ecological concept describes the maximum population that an environment can sustainably support with its available resources
What is carrying capacity?
This force keeps planets and other objects in orbit around stars
What is gravity?
This part of the brain is primarily responsible for regulating basic life functions like breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure
What is the brainstem?
This thermodynamic quantity is a measure of the randomness or disorder in a system.
What is entropy?
This method of charging happens when a charged object is brought near a neutral conductor without touching it, causing a shift in charges.
What is induction?
This is the layer of Earth's atmosphere that contains the ozone layer
What is the stratosphere?
This planet is the largest planet in our solar system and is known for its Great Red Spot
What is Jupiter?
This protective, outer layer of a virus is made entirely of protein and encloses its genetic material
What is a capsid?
This phase change occurs when a solid turns directly into a gas without turning into a liquid first.
What is sublimation?
These electromagnetic rays have the shortest wavelength and highest energy, produced during the decay of radioactive nuclei.
What are gamma rays?
This type of pollution occurs when excess nutrients, like nitrogen and phosphorus, enter bodies of water and cause excessive algae growth
What is eutrophication?
This is the name for a star like our Sun that is in the main stage of its life, producing energy by fusing hydrogen
What is a main-sequence star?
