Planets
This is the planet closest to the Sun.
What is Mercury?
The basic unit of life
what is a cell?
The thin, rocky outer layer of the Earth.
What is the crust?
The abbreviation for an element like oxygen or hydrogen.
What is a chemical symbol?
Eye color.
What is a physical trait?
This is the planet in our solar system known for its prominent rings.
What is Saturn?
These are the small structures within a cell that perform specific jobs, like the mitochondria for energy.
What are organelles?
The layer of Earth that is broken into tectonic plates.
What is the lithosphere?
Arranged in horizontal rows called periods.
What are elements?
The study of how traits are inherited.
What is genetics?
This is the red planet, known for its rusty appearance due to iron oxide on its surface.
What is mars?
This outer boundary controls what enters and leaves a cell.
What is the cell membrane?
This is the thickest layer of the Earth, located beneath the crust.
What is the mantle?
Elements in the same vertical column often share similar chemical properties because they have the same number of these outer electrons.
What are valence electrons?
A trait that is learned or developed during an organism's lifetime, like riding a bike.
What is an acquired trait?
This is the largest planet in our solar system.
What is Jupiter?
This is the jelly-like substance that fills a cell and surrounds the organelles.
What is cytoplasm?
The Earth's liquid outer layer, thought to be responsible for our planet's magnetic field.
What is the outer core?
The element with the symbol 'H', is unique as it doesn't neatly fit into any single group due to its electron configuration.
What is hydrogen?
The set of genes an organism carries.
What is a genotype?
This is the only planet in our solar system known to have liquid water on its surface in abundance and to support life as we know it.
What is Earth
This organelle is often called the "powerhouse of the cell" because it produces most of the cell's energy.
What is the mitochondrion?
This layer includes all of the crust and the uppermost, rigid part of the mantle.
What is the lithosphere?
These are the elements found on the far right of the periodic table that are generally unreactive due to their full outer electron shells.
What are the noble gases?
The observable characteristics of an organism, resulting from the interaction of its genes and the environment.
What is a phenotype?
