SCIENCE: Biology&Earth and Formal Science Flashcards
organelle that is not included in plant cell
centriole
organelle needed in muscle contraction
mitochondrion
environment that has a higher solute concentration than the cell which causes both the animal and plant cell to shrink
hypo osmosis
simpler molecules are combined to form a complex structure; an energy yielding process
anabolism
breaks down macromolecules to form simpler units; an energy releasing process
catabolism
cell made up of chitin; cannot manufacture their own food with an absorvative mode of nutrition
fungi
the observable trait of an individual; the outward manifestation of genotype
Phenotype
genetic composition
Genotype
gene expression generally occurs in the nucleus where RNA strand make a copy OF DNA through 3 to 5 direction
Transcription
proposed the “Planetary Model”
Neils Bohr
a relationship where both organelles benefit from each other
Mutualism
a relationship where both organelles benefit from each other
Mutualism
A temporary answer to the problem based on observations and background knowledge
Hypothesis
The standard unit for temperature
Kelvin
Studieds the Earth’s interior composition
Geology
Study of life
Biology
Study of matter and its composition
Chemistry
Study of matter and its behavior
Physics
Formed from magma or lava that cooled
Igneous
Instrument used to measure an earthquake movement
Richter scale
Measures the strength of an earthquake by the amount ot energy released; measured by the Richter scale
Magnitude
Measures the amount of damage produced by an earthquake; measured by the modified Mercalli scale
Intensity
The innermost layer of the atmosphere where atmospheric disturbance occur
Troposphere
A device used to measure humidity
Hygrometer
Source generated from natural resources which can be replenish
Renewable energy
Source that takes a lot of time to be replenished: demand is greater than supply
Non-renewable energy
Happens when the Earth is in between the Sun and the Moon
Lunar eclipse
Happens when the moon is in between the earth and the sun
Solar eclipse
A fragment of a planet, an asteroid, or a comet that has entered the Earth’s atmosphere and burns because of friction; meteors are falling stars
Meteor
