What is matter?
Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space.
What kingdom are dogs a part of?
Animalia
Energy of motion.
Is weight the same as mass?
The force of gravity on an object.
What is an ion?
An ion is an atom or molecule that has gained or lost one or more electrons, resulting in a net electrical charge.
What are 3 parts of the water cycle?
evaporation, condensation, precipitation, runoff, and infiltration
What is cellular respiration
Process that converts glucose into energy (ATP)
What is energy transformation?
Energy changing from one form to another.
Friction works in what direction?
What is the difference between an element and a compound?
An element is a pure substance consisting of only one type of atom, while a compound is a substance formed when two or more different types of atoms chemically combine.
Name 2 Gas or Ice Giants
Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus
What does photosynthesis do?
Converts solar energy into chemical energy (glucose)
What are renewable vs non-renewable energy sources?
Renewable energy sources (e.g., solar, wind, hydro) can be replenished naturally, while non-renewable sources (e.g., fossil fuels, nuclear) are finite and will deplete over time.
How many laws of Motion are there?
3
What are the 2 kinds of chemical bonds?
covalent and ionic
What Causes the Tides?
The Sun-Moon-Earth System
What are limiting factors in an ecosystem?
Factors include resource availability, predation, disease, and environmental conditions, which can lead to population growth or decline.
What is the law of conservation of energy?
energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only change forms
What is inertia?
Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion; it is directly related to the object's mass.
What are the components of an atom?
What are Ceres, Makemake, Eris, and Pluto classified as?
Dwarf Planets
Describe how energy flows through the ecosystem.
Energy flows through ecosystems via food chains and food webs, where producers convert solar energy into chemical energy, which is then transferred to consumers and decomposers.
What are 4 forms of energy?
Thermal, chemical, electrical, nuclear, mechanical, and electromagnetic
What is Newton's 3rd law of motion?
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
What is the significance of the periodic table?
The periodic table organizes elements based on their atomic number, electron configuration, and recurring chemical properties, helping to predict element behavior.
