100

Label the allele pairs (homozygous, heterozygous)

1. Aa

2. aa

3. AA

heterozygous, homozygous , heterozygous 

200

What happens to thermal energy when you put two objects together so they are touching

Energy will transfer from one object to another until the thermal energy becomes equal.

200

What type of climate is at the 0 degree latitude (equator)? 

Hot, most sunlight 

200
Describe the green house effect

Gases in the atmosphere trap in heat making the planet hotter 

200

 How do microorganisms help humans stay healthy

The good microorganisms help balance the bad microorganisms making it hard for the bad micoorganisms to thrive.

200
What is the job of the gene inside the cell?

The gene codes for the type of protein.

300
Which substance has more thermal energy a pot of boiling water or a gigantic ice berg?

Ice berg because it has more mass

300

If an ocean current is coming from the north pole what temperature water would you expect it to have?

How will this affect the air temperature the ocean current is passing by?

Colder ocean current


Colder air temperature

300

Why are trees so important when talking about climate change?

They absorb carbon dioxide and help cool our planet

300

Why is hand sanitizer a good and bad choice?

Kills good and bad bacteria leaving you defenseless 

300

In sexual reproduction how much genes from each parent does the the offspring inherit? 

1 from each parent 

400

Name the phase change and describe how the atom's motion and arrangement changes

Popsicle on a hot summer day.

melting, spread apart and move faster 

400

How can ocean currents affect your climate? (Think of the two locations ocean currents can be coming from)


Make a place warmer if ocean current is coming from the equator or colder if the ocean current is coming from the poles 

400

Why are cows bad for the environment?

produce methane which is a potent green house gas

400
What role does the digestive system play?

Break down food into glucose, oxygen, and amino acids 

400

Complete a punnett square for a heterozygous sharp tooth dad shark and a homozygous dull tooth mom shark

dad Tt -50%

mom tt -50%


500

Removing heat from a substance makes the molecules move ___________________ and causes them to move  ________________   _______________.

less/slower, closer together 

500

How does being closer to the ocean affect the climate in that area?

Example: Florida vs Arizona

Closer to ocean: wet climate, humid, vegetation, diversity, rainfall

Farther away: dry climate, low diversity, little rainfall, desert

500

Provide 2 ways we can reduce green house gas emission 

1. ride a bike 

2. don't cut down trees

3. eat chicken not beef 

4. plant trees

5. don't use plastic

500

Describe the circulatory system. (Include the 3 main molecules)

Transports all molecules around the body so cells can have what they need to perform their function
