What is a bar magent?
A number that represents the total number of protons and neutrons.
What is a mass number?
A circuit where items are attached in a sequence/pathway.
What is a series circuit?
Features of an environment that are considered "non-living."
What is an abiotic factor?
The part of a neuron that receives chemical messages from another neuron.
What is a dendrite?
A field that surrounds a magnet, that starts from the North pole and ends in the South Pole.
What is a magnetic field?
A positively charged atom and is often formed by metals.
What is a cation?
A measure of the potential difference between two points in a circuit and is representative of the energy.
What is voltage?
A relationship between two organisms where both benefit.
What is mutualism?
The type of neuron that carrys messages from the brain to the muscles.
What is a neuron?
What is an isotope?
A reaction that releases a large amount of thermal energy.
What is an exothermic reaction?
The mathmatical relationship that connects voltage, current and resistance.
What is Ohm's Law?
The organelle where sunlight is used to generate chemical energy for a plant.
What is a chloroplast?
An automatic response of the body to a stimulus.
What is a reflex?
A type of radioactive decay that releases an electron, and has a neutron change to a proton.
What is beta decay?
A law that dictates the fact that mass remains constant before and after a chemical reacion.
What is the Law of Conservation of mass?
A device used to measure the current of a circuit.
What is an ammeter?
The molecule containing chemical energy formed during photosynthesis.
What is glucose?
The process where the body maintains a constant set of conditions optimal for survival.
What is homeostasis?
A type of radiation that would destroy all life, if not for the Earth's magnetic field.
What is gamma radiation?
A reaction where substances donate hydrogen ions (H+) to neutralise another substance.
What is an Acid-Base Reaction?
A electronic component that disrupts the flow of current when exposed to heat.
What is a thermoresistor?
The phenomenon where the population trend of species at different trophic levels in a food web, constantly vary and mimic each other.
