Solar System Patterns
What causes Earth to have day and night?
Earth's rotation
Which moon phases starts the new moon cycle?
New moon
sexual
Which organelle store genetic info and directs cell activity?
nucleus
True or False: humans have different cell types to perform the different functions of each organ
true
What do we call one trip around the sun, which takes 365 days?
Earth's revolution
The pattern of the moon cycle takes how long to complete?
one month
Which type of reproduction involves just one parent, therefore creating identical offspring?
asexual
Which organelle is where photosynthesis occurs?
chloroplasts
arrange these from smallest to largest when building an organism:
tissue cell organ system organ organism
cell - tissue - organ - organ system - organism
Due to the tilt which locations always receives 12 hours of sunlight and 12 hours of night (leaving them with little variation in seasons)?
The equator
Which moon phases would you see about 25 days into the cycle?
Waning Crescent
When we say a trait (like brown eyes) is dominant, what do we mean?
It is a stronger trait, therefore usually more frequent in a population
Which organelles would tell you it was a plant cell, not an animal cell?
cell wall and chloroplasts
(and one large vacuole)
Because bacteria are made up of one cell, do they have levels of organization?
No (they don't have different cell types, therefore different organs and different organ systems)
Due to the revolution of the moon and earth, which type of eclipse happens more often?
Lunar is way more common
(solar is very rare to occur in the same location)
True or False: we see different stars due to Earth's tilt AND where we are at in our revolution.
True
Which type of reproduction creates more offspring, in a short amount of time?
asexual
State an example of a multicellular organism and an example of a unicellular organism
Multi - plants and animals
Uni (one celled) - bacteria
Which human body system is responsible for breaking down food into nutrients?
Digestive
Earth's tilt causes seasons. But what 2 reasons describe how the tilt causes seasons?
-Which locations receive direct (more intense & warmer) sunlight
-the amount of daylight hours that each location receives
What is the name of the North Star?
(which can only be seen in the North Hemisphere)
Polaris (Big Dipper)
Which type of organism can usually reproduce both sexually and asexually?
plants
If you saw a prokaryote - state 2 ways how you would KNOW if was in fact a prokaryote.
I only saw 1 cell
it had very few organelles (only ribosomes and flagella)
its DNA was NOT in a nucleus
Which organ system works with the circulatory system (heart) to take in oxygen and kick out CO2?
Respiratory
