Earth Science
The three types of rocks
sedimentary, igneous, metamorphic
The basic building block of all matter
atom
The force responsible for holding Earth's atmosphere in place
Gravity
the organisms that capture energy from the sun - use the technical term
autotroph
The offspring of asexual reproduction are
clones of / identical to the parent
The difference between sedimentary rock and igneous rock
sedimentary rock is made from tiny particles forced together, but igneous rock is made from cooled magma
The type of energy stored in the bonds of a molecule
chemical
The type of energy that radiates from the sun
Electromagnetic
The term heterotroph refers to an organism that
gets energy from consuming other organisms
The molecule / hereditary material that makes genes
DNA
The continents rest upon
plate tectonics / tectonic plates
Burning something or dissolving it with acid are examples of
chemical change
When you digest your food, your body transforms chemical energy into (2 things)
kinetic and thermal
the amount of energy that is transferred up each step of the energy pyramid
10%
An allele is
a version of a gene
Surface features like trenches or mountains are created when
The last column on the periodic table are the
Noble gases
The best simple machine for lifting a heavy object off the ground would be a
pulley
CO2 and CH4 emissions are a concern because they can enahance the
greenhouse effect
Complete the punnett square for the genotypes BB x Bb
BB, BB, Bb, Bb
An earthquake occurs when
tectonic plates "slip" against each other
chemicals on the left side of the periodic table tend to be more reactive because
their electrons are easier to remove
The Law of Conservation of Energy states that
Energy can never be created nor destroyed
Extinction of an organism can dramatically impact its ecosystem because
all organisms are interconnected by lines of energy in a food web
In the cross BB x Bb, what is the probability an offspring will have the dominant phenotype (appearance)?
100%: BB, BB, Bb, or Bb all show the dominant phenotype
