100
The tendency of an organism or a cell to regulate its internal conditions, usually by a system of feedback controls, so as to stabilize health and functioning, regardless of the outside changing conditions
What is "Homeostasis"
100
In a cathode ray tube, the positive electrode. Electrode at which oxidation occurs.
What is "Anode"
100
angle between direction of motion of waves and a line perpendicular to surface the waves are striking
What is "Angle of Incidence"
100
Ecology Growing or occurring in many parts of the world; widely distributed.
What is "Cosmopolitan"
100
the study of living organisms, divided into many specialized fields that cover their morphology, physiology, anatomy, behavior, origin, and distribution.
What is "Biology"
200
A solution that has higher osmotic pressure (or has more solutes) than another solution to which it is compared
What is a "Hypertonic Solution"
200
The time required for half of a reactant to be converted into product(s). The time required for half of a given sample to undergo radioactive decay
What is "Half-Life"
200
measure of light emitted by source in candelas; luminous flux divided by 4pie.
What is "Luminance Intensity"
200
(ecology) the status of an organism within its environment and community (affecting its survival as a species)
What is "Ecological Niche"
200
the branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. The subject matter of physics, distinguished from that of chemistry and biology, includes mechanics, heat, light and other radiation, sound, electricity, magnetism, and the structure of atoms
What is "Physics"
300
A form of syncope (fainting) that occurs as a part of a normal physiologic response to stress (often emotional stress). The individual becomes lightheaded, nauseated, flushed, feels warm and then may lose consciousness for several seconds.
What is "Vasovagal Syncope"
300
Group VIIA elements: F, Cl, Br, I
What is "Halogens"
300
measures the amount of overlap between the magnetic flux produced in one coil and that which passes through a second coil, thus the amount of EMP induced in a secondary coil by the varying flux in the primary coil.
What is "Mutual Inductance"
300
The study of fossil animals and plants in order to deduce their ecology and the environmental conditions in which they lived
What is "Palaeoecology"
300
the branch of science that deals with the identification of the substances of which matter is composed; the investigation of their properties and the ways in which they interact, combine, and change; and the use of these processes to form new substances.
What is "Chemistry"
400
A molecule with a net dipole as a result of the opposing charges from polar bonds arranged asymmetrically.
What is "Polar Molecule"
400
Effect by which all acids stronger than the acid that is characteristic of the solvent react with solvent to produce that acid; similar statement applies to bases. The strongest acid (base) that can exist in a given solvent is the acid (base) characteristic of the solvent.
What is "Leveling Effect"
400
source of diverging light rays; either luminous or illuminated.
What is "Object"
400
Prevalent in or peculiar to a particular locality, region, or people
What is "Endemic"
400
a multidisciplinary academic field that integrates physical and biological sciences, (including but not limited to ecology, physics, chemistry, zoology, mineralogy, oceanology, limnology, soil science, geology, atmospheric science, and geography) to the study of the environment, and the solution of environmental problems.
What is "Environmental Science"
500
formula: C10 H16 N5 O13 P3
What is "ATP (Adenosine TriPhosphate)"
500
The study of the energy transfers accompanying physical and chemical processes
What is "Thermodynamics"
500
A complicated technique using x-rays to "create an image" where no lense to focus the light rays is available
What is "X-ray Diffraction"
500
The successful establishment of a plant or animal species in a habitat
What is "Ecesis"
500
the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment
