Ecology
What are abiotic factors
these are the non-living parts of an ecosystem, such as rocks
What is the Particle Theory of Matter?
This theory states that all matter is made of particles that are always moving and move faster when heated
: What is conduction?
This is the transfer of thermal energy through the direct contact of particles.
What is a shell structure?
This type of structure is hollow with a curved shape, such as a pop can or an eggshell.
What is mutualism?
This type of interaction occurs when both organisms benefit, such as a bee pollinating a flowe
What is water
This substance is known as the "universal solve
What is thermal expansion?
This term describes an object's volume increasing because its warm particles are spreading out.
What is torsion?
This internal force is created when you twist an object, like a towel.
What is a primary consumer
in a food chain of grass, rabbit, fox, and vulture, the rabbit serves as this
What is a mechanical mixture?
A mixture where you can see different substances with your eyes, such as trail mix.
What is sublimation?
This change of state occurs when a solid turns directly into a gas as it gets warmer.
What is a dead load?
In a house, the weight of the walls themselves is an example of this type of load.
What is the sun?
This is the primary source of all energy in an ecosystem, which plants convert through photosynthesis
What is evaporation?
This separation method involves heating a liquid until only the solid remains.
What is absorb?
Dark-colored objects do this to radiant energy, while light-colored objects reflect it.
What is a truss bridge?
This bridge uses triangles supported above the beam to take the force of the load.
What is overfishing?
this occurs when humans catch fish faster than the population can replenish, negatively impacting the ecosystem
what is a Solute
usually the smaller part being dissolved (EX:salt,sugar,protein powder,coffee
What is nuclear energy
This energy source comes from splitting atoms and does not emit greenhouse gases, though it creates radioactive waste.
What is a support base?
To improve stability and prevent tipping, a structure should have a wider version of this and a lower center of gravity.
