This theory, proposed by Alfred Wegener, suggests the landmasses have been moving around the Earth's surface
What is continental drift?
300
The process (and one of the letters of MRS C GREN) where living things convert sugar and oxygen into energy, water, and carbon dioxide
What is celluar respiration?
300
This structure that contains your genetic information is made of a long, folded-up piece of DNA, and you have 23 pairs of them in every cell
What is a chromosome?
300
This scale, ranging from 0-14 describes how acidic or basic a liquid is
What is the pH scale?

This force which opposes motion and creates heat energy can be useful - e.g. with brakes and steering, but also wasteful - because you need more thrust from the engine to overcome it
What is friction?
