Segment 1 Matter
The smallest unit of matter
What is an atom
Color, density, odor, and appearance are examples of these types of properties.
What are physical properties?
The food that plants make during photosynthesis.
What is glucose?
The type of rock that makes up the Grand Canyon.
What is sedimentary rock?
When two diffERent species compete for the same resource.
What is intERspecfic competition?
The Law of Conservation of Matter
What is "matter cannot be created or destroyed but it can be rearranged"?
Used to observe a substance which DOES change it.
What are chemical properties?
The type of energy that plants and animals make in cellular respiration.
Events in Earth's history that take a loooong time, such as the formation of the Grand Canyon.
What is uniformitarianism?
If you want to increase the carrying capacity of a population, you need to increase the availability of this specific type of resource.
What is the limited/limiting resource?
Two or more atoms, the same or different, bonded together.
What is a molecule?
A change in matter in which one or more new substances are produced.
What is a chemical change?
Plants use this molecule in photosynthesis, and both plants and animals make this same molecule in cellular respiration.
What is carbon dioxide?
The scientist who came up with the Theory of Continental Drift.
Who is Alfred Wegner?
Secondary consumers eat these organisms to survive.
What are primary consumers?
The state of matter with the least amount of kinetic energy, the least amount of space between the particles, and the least amount of thermal energy.
What is solid?
Physical change or chemical change:
ice cream melting
What is a physical change?
The organelle where cellular respiration takes place inside the cell.
What is the mitochondria?
The newest rock on Earth is found at the divergent plate boundary in the middle of which ocean?
What is the Atlantic Ocean?
Makes up all living and nonliving things in the ecosystem, except energy.
What is matter?
Examples are diamond, graphite, and table salt (NaCl).
What are extended structures?
A chemical reaction that RELEASES heat.
What is an exothermic reaction?
The products of photosynthesis and the reactants of cellular respiration.
What are glucose and oxygen?
The theory that Earth's crust is broken into pieces that move.
These are small pieces of a food web, made of at least 3 organisms.
What is a food chain?
