Metabolism
what is the definition of Cellular Respiration?
the metabolic process in which cells break down glucose and other organic molecules, typically using oxygen, to release chemical energy and convert it into ATP (adenosine triphosphate)
what is the definition of Gene
the basic physical and functional unit of heredity, composed of specific DNA sequences located on chromosomes
what is the definition of Kinetic Energy:
the form of energy an object or particle possesses due to its motion
what is the definition of chemical reaction
a process where substances (reactants) transform into new substances (products) with different properties by breaking and forming chemical bonds
A cause is something that
brings about an effect, produces a result, or is the reason why something happens
what is the definition of Glucose
Glucose is a simple sugar (monosaccharide) with the molecular formula
what is the definition of Allele
one of two or more alternative versions of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place (locus) on a chromosome
what is the definition of Thermal Energy:
the internal energy present in a system due to the kinetic energy of its atoms and molecules moving or vibrating.
what is the definition of Reactants
the starting substances in a chemical reaction that are consumed or altered to form new substances known as products
An effect is something that
happens as a result or consequence of a specific action, influence, or cause
what is the definition of Oxygen
Oxygen is a colorless, odorless, highly reactive chemical element
what is the definition of Protein
a large, complex biomolecule (macromolecule) essential to life, composed of long chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds
what is the definition of Phase Change
a physical process where matter transitions between solid, liquid, or gas states due to changes in energy (heat) or pressure
what is the definition of Products
a tangible good, intangible service, digital, or hybrid item created through a process (manufacturing, farming, or development) to satisfy a consumer need or desire
Why might cloud shape have more than one cause?
they are formed by a combination of atmospheric instability, moisture levels, temperature changes, and wind conditions.
what is the definition of Digestive System
a complex network of organs and glands that breaks down food into small nutrient molecules—such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats—that the body can absorb for energy, growth, and repair
what is the definition of Mutation
a permanent alteration in the DNA sequence of an organism, involving a change, addition, or deletion of base pairs
what is the definition of Heat
the transfer of thermal energy between systems or objects due to a difference in temperature, flowing spontaneously from a hotter body to a colder one.
what is the definition of Conservation of Matter
matter cannot be created or destroyed in a closed system, meaning the total amount of mass remains constant
Locations near the equator receive __________________ energy.
more direct, intense, or concentrated solar energy
what is the definition of Circulatory System
a vital network consisting of the heart, blood vessels, and blood, designed to transport oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to cells while removing waste products like carbon dioxide
what is the definition of Selective Breeding
the intentional process where humans breed plants or animals to produce desirable, specific traits in future generations
Solid: particles
particles are closely packed together and vibrate in fixed positions.
finish the sentence Atoms are
the basic building blocks of matter that make up all physical substances
Locations farther from the equator receive __________________ energy.
less (or lower intensity)
