Plants
What substance is a main product that plants produce during photosynthesis and use for growth?
Glucose (Sugar)
Name the most likely reason for the decline in a bird species population after a wildfire."
What is the wildfire destroyed the birds' habitat and nesting sites?
What is reflection?
when light waves bounce off a shiny surface like a mirror
During what phase of the moon, is the moon not visible from earth?
New moon
What happens to light waves when they hit a glass of water with a spoon in it?
The spoons image is refracted (bent)
Besides sunlight and water, name another necessary input for photosynthesis".
Carbon Dioxide
A prolonged drought causing a decrease in water availability is this type of component change."
a physical component change
A black shirt feels warmer in the sun because it does this to more light waves than a white shirt
What is absorption
What is the approximate length of one lunar cycle (from New Moon to New Moon)?
29.5 days
What is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy?
Photosynthesis
This best describes what happens to carbon dioxide and water during photosynthesis".
They are converted to sugar and oxygen using chemical energy.
This type of component change occurs when an invasive plant species reduces the diversity of native plant species in a grassland ecosystem
a biological component change
Sound waves can do this through air, water, and solid walls
Transmit (move through)
Which of the following best describes the path the moon takes around the earth?
an Eclipse
What is the most likely effect of a prolonged drought on the animal populations in a forest ecosystem?
A decrease in the populations of species that rely on water for survival.
Explain how the process of photosynthesis contributes to the balance of these two gases in Earth's atmosphere
photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and releases oxygen?"
What is a keynote species?
an organism that plays a critical role in the structure and function of an ecosystem.
Sunglasses reduce the amount of light that reaches your eyes mainly through this process
Absorption
Why do solar eclipses occur less frequently than lunar eclipses?
The moons orbit is tilted relative to earths orbit.
What is the name of the layer of the atmosphere that contains the ozone layer?
Stratosphere
A student observes a plant growing taller in a sunny location versus a shady location. Explain the BEST reason for this observation in terms of energy
Plants in sunny locations have access to more light energy, which is used for photosynthesis
Name the MOST likely effect on animal populations in an ecosystem that experiences a prolonged drought.
a decrease in the populations of species that rely on water for survival?"
Describe what happens to most light waves when they hit a mirror
most are reflected, and very little is absorbed or transmitted
What are the 2 (really 3) things that effect the amount of Gravity an item has?
Mass (Size and Weight)
Distance
What is Cellular Respiration?
When cells convert the energy stored in food (like glucose) into energy the cell uses to perform its activities.
