What type of rock is formed from the cooling and solidification of magma?
Igneous rock
Which body system is responsible for transporting nutrients, oxygen, and waste products throughout the body?
Circulatory System
What acronym do we use to determine if something is living?
MRS GREN
Movement, respiration, sensitivity, growth, reproduction, excretion, nutrition
Name the process involved in the formation of sedimentary rocks.
Compaction and cementation
How does regular exercise affect heart rate (HR)? Increase, decrease, or no change?
Increase (due to increased demand for oxygen and nutrients during exercise)
What is the difference between a eukaryote and a prokaryote?
- In a Prokaryote the DNA is free floating, and in a Eukaryote, the DNA is contained in a nucleus.
- Prokaryotic cells are only found in bacteria and archaea, while eukaryotic cells are found in animals, plants, fungi, and protists.
Give an example of a metamorphic rock and how it forms.
Example: Marble (from limestone) or slate (from shale). Formation: Heat and pressure acting on existing rocks.
What is the role of the digestive system during exercise?
Break down food into glucose - glucose provides energy for muscles --> cellular respiration
What are the differences between plant and animal cells?

What property of a mineral refers to its tendency to break along planes of weakness?
Cleavage
What is vital capacity?
Vital capacity is the largest volume of air that someone can breathe in or out at one time.
Give two examples of cell specialization.
Red blood cell: Carry oxygen from lungs to rest of the body
Fat cell: Stores energy under skin and surrounding internal organs
What are the five properties used to identify different minerals?
What are the two main processes involved in the respiratory system?
- Inhaling O2 and diffusion into blood
- Exhale CO2 into external environment
What is the level of organization between individual cells and organisms?
Multicellular organisms contain organ systems, contain organs, contain tissues, contain cells.
