Intro to Science
Study the interactions of living and non-living parts of the environment with a focus on human impact.
What is environmental science?
Pure Science that seeks knowledge.
What is basic science?
Anything that has mass and takes up space.
What is matter?
Membrane-bound structures, such as the nucleus and mitochondria.
What are organelles?
The ability to cause change.
What is energy?
Ask a question, Observe, Form a hypothesis, Make a prediction, Experiment, Analyze, and Conclude.
What is parts of the scientific methods?
Uses science to solve a real-world problem.
What is applied science?
Two or more elements chemically bonded to make a new substance.
What is a Molecule?
This domain of life includes bacteria and archaea, which lack a nucleus.
What is a prokaryote?
The energy an object has because of its temperature.
What is heat energy?
What is the types of sciences with environmental science?
What is sustainability?
Ionic and Covalent.
What are chemical bonds?
Structure that contains genetic material.
What is the nucleus?
Process of converting food into energy.
What is metabolism?
Logical thinking that uses related observations to arrive at a general conclusion.
What is Inductive Thinking?
People must proceed carefully when an activity threatens humans or the environment's health.
What is the Precautionary Principle?
A very polar liquid contains hydrogen bonds to keep it a liquid. (Stabilizes temperatures and is the universal solvent)
What is water?
Prokaryotic DNA is found in this region of the cell, which is not surrounded by a membrane.
What is the nucleoid?
The energy of motion.
What is kinetic energy?
Logic used in hypothesis-based science.
(A=B, B=C, A=C)
What is deductive reasoning?
Frontier, Sustainable, and Land
What are types of Ethics?
measurement of acidity or alkalinity (acids and bases)
What is pH?
Helps maintain cell shape and prevent bursting.
What is the cell wall?
the branch of physics that deals with heat, work, and energy transfer. It studies how energy moves and transforms within physical systems, including gases, liquids, and solids.
What is thermodynamics?
