Photosynthesis
Plants need these three things in order to perform photosynthesis?
Water
Carbon Dioxide
Sunlight
"Animal Electricity"
the collection of gases that surround the Earth
atmosphere
When two stars orbit one another
binary star system
Luigi Galvani noticed that when he applied an electrical spark to this, it would twitch
frog's leg
Plants make oxygen in their?
Leaves. Plants only produce oxygen in their leaves and not their stems.
The strength behind the flow of electricity is measure in?
volts
Pores within the leaf that open and close depending on the plants needs
stomata
When three stars orbit one another
trinary star system
Galvani's work inspired this science fiction novel.
Frankenstein
A green pigment, present in all green plants responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for energy for photosynthesis
chlorophyll
Nerves carry electrical signals in order to control muscles, but that electricity doesn't come from dead frog's legs...instead it was coming from?
the different kinds of metals that Galvani touched together while working with them
What happens to the temperature of a gas as it expands without being heated?
Decreases or lowers
When more than three stars orbit one another
multiple star system
Nerves carry electrical signals which start in the?
brain
When it's dark outside plants use (?) to burn the energy in glucose and release (?)
oxygen
carbon dioxide
The mechanism where contact between two dissimilar metals (zinc and copper) creates a potential difference, while the electrolyte (salt water) allows ion flow, producing a steady current.
voltaic pile
What happens when a gas cools down?
Condenses to a liquid
What planet did William and Caroline Herschel discover?
Uranus
Who game up with the term "galvanism" to describe the effects electricity had on animals?
Alessandro Volta
While the leaf is taking in carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen, it is also losing water through
transpiration
batteries
When the sun goes down the leaf no longer can do photosynthesis, so the stomata close to?
conserve the plant's water supply
One famous example of a binary star system is the brightest star in the night sky, Sirius, which is also called?
although it looks like a single star, when examined closely, it is actually two stars orbiting one another. One very large star, called "Sirius A" and the second very small star, called "Sirius B"
The study of the way living organisms respond to electricity is called?
electrophysiology
