what is Static Electricity
an imbalance of electric charges, typically a buildup of excess negative or positive charge on a surface
how do chemical changes work
when the composition of a substance is altered, resulting in the formation of new substances with different properties
what is life science
the broad study of living organisms and life processes, encompassing disciplines like biology, zoology, botany, and microbiology.
what is a organs
a distinct structure within a living organism composed of different tissues, all working together to perform a specific function.
what is a converging boundary
a tectonic plate boundary where two plates move towards each other, colliding and potentially causing one to subduct (sink beneath the other) or both to collide and uplift.
what is an insulator
rubber, glass, and wood
how do physical change work
the molecules of the substance are rearranged, but the same types of molecules remain
describe an invertebrate
animals that lack a backbone and internal bony skeleton.
what is a single-celled organism
bacteria, protists, and yeast.
what causes magma
when Earth's rock melts due to a combination of temperature, pressure, and the presence of water or other volatile substances.
what kinds of materials make good conductors
what is can chemical changes do but physical change can't
create new substances
describe arthropods
invertebrate animals characterized by having a hard, segmented body covered by an exoskeleton made of chitin.
the genes within each cell
approximately 20,000 to 25,000 genes in each cell.
how is a diverging boundary formed
when two tectonic plates move apart from each other.
you use Static Electricity but like what.
is a photocopiers, air filters, and even paint sprayers.
what is can Physical changes do but Chemical changes can't
Physical changes can be reversed, while chemical changes are typically irreversible.
name the two groups of animals.
vertebrates and invertebrates.
ls bacteria a plant or an a animal
Bacteria are neither plants nor animals.
what causes an earthquake?
the sudden release of energy within the Earth's crust, typically along faults, where tectonic plates move and collide.
what does it mean when something is neutral
not taking sides, favoring one option over another, or expressing a strong opinion or feeling.
what is the difference between Chemical vs Physical change
Physical changes alter the appearance or state of matter without changing its chemical composition, while chemical changes result in the formation of new substances with different properties.
where do most invertebrates live
from the depths of the ocean to the highest mountain peaks, and everything in between.
what is a multi-celled organism
composed of more than one cell, with groups of cells differentiating to take on specialized functions.
how sand sand dunes formed
when wind deposits sand in a location, typically an obstacle like vegetation or an existing dune, and the sand is then blown up the windward side and slides down the leeward side.
