What is the definition of energy
The ability to do work
An observable characteristic of an organism
trait
What is kinetic energy
Movement energy
Information that has been objectively verified.
Fact
Differences in traits among individuals, partly due to mutations and sexual reproduction.
Variations
What is potential energy
Stored energy
The basic unit of heredity / a segment of DNA
Gene
Heat transfer by direct contact
Conduction
Anything that has mass and takes up space
Matter
The passing of genetic traits from parents to offspring
Heredity
Heat transfer by waves
Radiation
a permanent change in an organism's DNA sequence
Mutation
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted
to search for understanding the natural world using inquiry and experimentation
Science
Molecules made from gene instructions, crucial for cell functions and traits
Protein
Material resisting flow of heat
Insulator
a thread-like structure in the nucleus of a cell, made of tightly coiled DNA and proteins
Chromosome
Material allowing easy flow of heat
Conductor
essential macronutrients made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, serving as the body's main energy source
Carbohydrate
the process where one parent cell divides to create two genetically identical "daughter" cells
Mitosis
Replenishable sources of energy (solar, wind)
Renewable energy
a specialized cell division process that creates four unique cells with half the number of chromosomes as the original parent cell
Meiosis
Finite ( ending) sources of energy
Non-renewable sources
The molecule carrying genetic instructions for development, functioning, growth, and reproduction.
