Life Science
All the living and nonliving things and their interactions in an area.
What is an ecosystem?
The amount of matter in an object; measured in grams.
What is mass?
What you need in order to do work or cause change.
What is energy?
The space, conditions, and all the living and nonliving things around an organism.
What is environment?
A characteristic of an organism that it is born with and can pass down to its own offspring.
What is an inherited physical trait?
Any single living thing that eats, breathes, and reproduces?
What is an organism?
The measurable characteristics of matter, such as mass, volume, size, shape, temperature, density, and conductivity.
What is physical properties?
Energy from movement.
What is mechanical energy?
To cause a change to an organism or its environment.
What is impact?
The measurement of how well an object allows energy to flow through it.
What is conductivity?
Something that an organism has (body structure) or can do (behavior) that helps it survive in its environment.
What is an adaptation?
The classification of matter as as solid, liquid or gas.
What is physical state?
Energy that can be sensed by the eye.
What is light energy?
The largest population of living things that an environment can support.
What is carrying capacity?
A combination of two or more substances (ingredients) that keep their own properties and can be easily separated.
What is a mixture?
An organism that can obtain energy by making its own food.
What is a producer?
The measurement of how well a solid can dissolve in a liquid.
What is solubility?
Energy that travels as waves through the air and other objects, and causes vibrations.
What is sound energy?
An organism that obtains its energy by eating other organisms.
What is a consumer?
To make something different without changing what the object is made out of, such as melting, cutting, or folding.
What is physical change?
An interconnected set of food chains.
What is a food web?
The measurement of whether an object will sink or float in a liquid.
What is Relative Density?
Energy that comes from the flow of charged particles, and can move through a circuit.
What is electrical energy?
A group of organisms that are of the same kind and can reproduce with each other.
What is species?
The role an organism plays in its environment.
What is niche?
