Earth & Space
This scale measures the magnitude of earthquakes based on the amount of energy released.
What is the Richter
scale?
This term refers to the variety of all living organisms in an ecosystem, including plants, animals, and microorganisms, as well as the genetic differences within species and the ecosystems they form."
What is biodiversity?
"In this type of chemical reaction, one substance breaks down into two or more simpler substances, requiring a balanced equation to show conservation of mass."
What is a decomposition reaction?
The device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy using the principle of electromagnetism.
What is an electric motor?
It is the continuous range of electromagnetic waves arranged in order of frequency or wavelength.
What is an electromagnetic spectrum?
Why was Wegener’s theory not widely accepted at first?
He could not explain the mechanism that moved the continents
"This part of the female reproductive system is a muscular organ where a fertilized egg implants and develops into a fetus."
What is the uterus?
."This law combines Boyle’s, Charles’s, and Gay-Lussac’s laws into a single equation, represented as PV = nRT."
What is the Ideal Gas Law?
These waves, part of the electromagnetic spectrum, have the shortest wavelength and the highest energy, and are commonly used in cancer treatment."
What are gamma rays?
It is sometimes called “aging eyes” or “old eyes” in as much as it is normal consequence of growing old but cannot be prevented.
What is Presbyopia?
What modern scientific discovery later supported Wegener’s idea of moving continents?
Seafloor spreading and plate tectonics
This process, part of the central dogma, involves the synthesis of messenger RNA (mRNA) from a DNA template."
What is transcription?
The type of reaction : 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O
What is a Synthesis Reaction?
A convex lens can create this type of image, which appears larger and upside down, depending on the object's distance from the lens
What is a real image?
In this genetic disorder, caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21, individuals typically have developmental delays and distinctive facial features
What is Down syndrome?
Why is the Earth not getting larger despite continuous seafloor spreading?
Because old crust is recycled back into the mantle at subduction zones
It produces hormones that help turn the other endocrine glands in your body on and off. It is found at the base of your brain.
What is a hypothalamus?
Substances you start with in a chemical reaction.
What are reactants?
He was considered to be the father of Electromagnetic Theory for having formulated laws on electricity and magnetism.
Who is James Clerk Maxwell?
These are basic units of heredity that are located on chromosomes and determine traits.
What are genes?
What is the modern unifying theory that explains earthquakes, volcanic activity, mountain building, and seafloor spreading?
Plate Tectonics Theory
Structures that have similar function but different origin (e.g., bird wings and insect wings).
What are Analogous Structures?
P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂
What is the formula of the Combined Gas Law?
The point where light rays parallel to the principal axis meet after reflection or refraction?
What is the focal point?
He proposed the Theory of Natural Selection?
Who is Charles Darwin?
