What is potential energy?

stored energy

100

Name two methods of a liquid converting to a gas.

boiling and evaporation

Name 2 types of muscle.

Smooth, skeletal and cardiac

200

What organelle surrounds plant cells but animals cells lack it?

The cell wall

200

What is kinetic energy?

Kinetic energy is the energy of objects in motion.

200
In descending order list the phases of matter according to kinetic energy.

gas, liquid, solid

200

What type of input does our ear receive?

Mechanical input

300

How does the circulatory system help with breathing?

RBC pick and drop off oxygen and carbon dioxide

300

What are the male and female part of a flower?

The stamen is male and the pistil is female.

300

Name 2 types of potential energy.

gravitational, elastic, chemical

300

In what direction does thermal energy flow?

from hot to cold

300

What type of input does our nose and mouth receive?

chemical input

400

What body system removes toxins from our bodies?

The excretory system

400

Name 3 methods of seed dispersal?

Humans, wind, animals and bursting

400
What are the 2 factors that affect kinetic energy?

Mass and velocity

400

What is the term for a gas converting to a solid?

deposition

400

Explain how our hearing works?

Mechanical input enters our ear canal and vibrates our eardrum. These vibrations detected by hairs and the message is sent to the brain.

500

Name 3 body systems that are involved when we run.

Our muscular system is allowing us to move, the excretory system is producing sweat and the circulatory system is pumping blood faster.

Explain how a protein is made include the organelles.

DNA is transcribed into mRNA in the nucleus. The mRNA then leaves the nucleus to enter the cytoplasm. The ribosomes then translate the mRNA into protein.

500

If KE=1/2mv2, what is the KE of an object that is 10 kilograms in mass and has a velocity of 7 kilometers per hour? Don't forget the units.

245 joules

How does water under the ground return to the atmosphere. Use specific vocabulary.

Plant roots take water from underground to their leaves. The leaves release that water into the atmosphere through transpiration.
500

Explain how our vision works. Use details and vocabulary.

Electromagnetic input enters our eyes through the pupil. The light is focused on the retina by the lens. The rods and cones send information to the visual cortex at the back of our brains.
