This vocabulary word means an experiment in which there is ONE independent variable and many control variables.
Scientific Experiment/Control Experiment
This vocabulary word means any living thing
Organism
This vocabulary word means the actions and reactions of an organism or group in response to internal or external stimuli.
Behavior
This vocabulary word means a mixture of gases ( ex. oxygen gas, carbon dioxide gas, hydrogen gas, nitrogen gas etc.)
Atmosphere
What is the definition of Matter?
Anything that has mass(atoms) and takes up space.
This vocabulary word means the steps used by scientists to carry out a CONTROL experiment.
Scientific Method
This vocabulary word means the processes where plants, algae, and some types of bacteria uses sunlight to convert chemical compounds (specifically carbon dioxide and water) into food.
Photosynthesis
This vocabulary words means a change in the environment which causes an organism to respond (ex. change in temperature, change in light brightness etc.)
Stimulus/Stimuli
This vocabulary word means a naturally occurring, extremely complex substance that consists of amino acid residues joined by peptide bonds. They are present in all living organisms and include many essential biological compounds such as enzymes, hormones, and antibodies.
Proteins
What is the definition of Glucose?
An organic molecule produced by green plants during photosynthesis and used in cellular respiration to produce ATP energy.
This vocabulary word means a proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation.
Hypothesis
This vocabulary word means a pigment that gives plants their green color, and it helps plants create their own food through photosynthesis.
Chlorophyll
This vocabulary word means the process by which an organism slows down their metabolism to conserve energy
Hibernation
This vocabulary word means the preserved remains of plants and animals whose bodies were buried in sediments, such as sand and mud, under ancient seas, lakes and rivers.
Fossils
What is the definition of cell?
The smallest unit of life and the building blocks for all organisms.
This vocabulary word means any factor that can be controlled, changed, or measured in an experiment.
Variable
This vocabulary word means an organism, often a bacterium, fungus, or invertebrate that feeds on and breaks down dead plant or animal matter, making organic nutrients available to the ecosystem
Decomposer
This vocabulary word means when an organism blends into the environment
Camouflage
This vocabulary word means the long-term increase in Earth's average surface temperature, primarily due to the greenhouse effect caused by human activities like burning fossil fuels.
Global Warming
What is the definition of Biosphere?
The living organisms on earth.
This vocabulary word means
Changes in abiotic factors like climate across broad geographic areas affect how plant species and their characteristics are distributed over space and time.
Gradient
This vocabulary word means the position of an organism in the food chain and ranges from a value of 1 for primary producers to 5 for marine mammals and humans.
Trophic Level
This vocabulary word means when an organism imitates another organism or object
Mimicry
This vocabulary word means a thin part of Earth's atmosphere that absorbs almost all of the sun's harmful ultraviolet light
Ozone Layer
What is the definition of Stomata?
Tiny holes in the leaves of green plants through which carbon dioxide gas enters the leaf and oxygen gas and water vapor leaves.
