Space
These smaller rocky objects mostly orbit between Mars and Jupiter.
What are asteroids?
The rigid pieces of Earth’s crust that move slowly over the mantle.
What are teconic plates?
These are organisms that eat dead plants and animals, helping to recycle nutrients in an ecosystem.
What are decomposers?
This system is responsible for transporting oxygen, nutrients, and waste products throughout the body using the heart and blood vessels.
What is the circulatory system?
This is the system used by scientists to organize and classify living organisms based on their characteristics.
What is taxonomy?
What is Venus?
Earthquakes occur at this type of plate boundary.
What are transform boundaries?
The flow of energy in an ecosystem typically begins with these organisms that make their own food.
What are producers (or autotrophs)?
The levels of organization from simplest to most complex start with this.
What are cells?
Organisms in this kingdom are mostly multicellular, have cell walls made of chitin, and play a crucial role in decomposing organic matter.
What is Fungi?
This set of planets in our solar system are large and are located past the asteroid belt. This group is sometimes referred to as the Jovian planets.
What are gas giants?
Seafloor spreading occurs at this type of boundary where two plates move apart.
This amount of energy is lost as energy moves through an ecosystem, typically in the form of heat.
What is 90%?
This is part of the body that is made up of cells of the same type. Multiple of this term make up organs.
What is tissue?
The broadest and most general classification rank in the taxonomic system is called this.
What is domain?
This is the region in the outermost part of the solar system that is believed to be a source of long-period comets and extends far beyond the Kuiper Belt.
What is the Oort Cloud?
Fossils of the same species found on different continents support this theory.
What is the theory of plate tectonics (or continental drift)?
This cycle describes the movement of carbon between the atmosphere, living organisms, and the Earth’s surface.
What is the carbon cycle?
This system serves as a barrier to protect the body from external threats and helps regulate temperature through skin, hair, and nails.
What is the integumentary system?
This term refers to the process of assigning an organism a scientific name, which includes its genus and species.
What is binomial nomenclature?
This region beyond Neptune contains icy bodies including Pluto.
What is the Kuiper Belt?
These are the longest mountain chains on Earth, formed by seafloor spreading.
What are mid-ocean ridges?
This process, which releases energy stored in glucose, occurs in both plants and animals to provide energy for life processes.
What is cellular respiration?
This system controls and regulates body functions through hormones, including the pancreas, thyroid, and adrenal glands.
What is the endocrine system?
Organisms in this kingdom are eukaryotes and primarily unicellular. They can be found in environments ranging from freshwater to the deep sea.
What is Protista (or Protists)?
