Q

Decomposer

A

30
Q

Radiant energy

A

Travel directly from the sun

31
Q

Thermal energy

A

Present during heating and cooling

32
Q

Light Energy

A

Visible forms of radiant energy

33
Q

What creates glucose or thermal energy from light energy

A

Producer

34
Q

Photosynthesis formula

A

Carbon dioxide + water + energy = sugar + oxygen

35
Q

Reactants and product of photosynthesis

A

Reactant = Carbon + water
Products = Sugar + oxygen

36
Q

What happens to the light energy in the process of photosynthesis

A

Light energy is converted to chemical energy which can later be used by a plant

37
Q

cellular respiration formula

A

Sugar + Oxygen = water + carbon dioxide + energy

38
Q

Reactants and products of cellular respiration

A

Reactants = sugar, oxgyen
Products = water, carbon Dioxide, Energy

39
Q

Trophic level

A

Starting with producers ending with consumers

40
Q

Atmosphere

A

Leather of gases surrounding the Earth

40
Q

Arrows in a food chain represents what ?

A

Shows how energy is being passed along

41
Q

Lithosphere

A

Earth solid Outer layer

42
Q

Hydrosphere

A

All the earths water in solid, liquid, and gas form

43
Q

Biosphere

A

The zone around the earth where life can exist

44
Q

Lithosphere

A

The rocky outer shell of the Earth. (rocks, minerals, mountains, earth’s crust and mantle, etc.)

45
Q

Photosynthesis
Reactants
Products:

A

Reactants: Sugar and oxygen
Products: Carbon dioxide, water , energy

46
Q

Complementary processes:

A

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are complementary processes because the products of one reaction are the reactants of the other reaction.

47
Q

What is the particle theory of matter?

A

It is a way to describe the structure of matter and how it behaves.

48
Q

Pure substance vs Mixture

A

Pure substance: 1 type of particle
Mixture: 2 or more different types of particles

49
Q

Elements vs. Compounds:

A

Elements: A pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances. ( hydrogen, sodium, oxygen, chlorine etc.)

Compounds: A pure substance that contains 2 or more different elements in a fixed ratio. ( salt, sugar, water, carbon dioxide etc.)

50
Q

Homogeneous vs Heterogeneous mixture:

A

Homogeneous: solution– different substances are NOT visible
Ex. salt water, sugar water.

Heterogeneous: mechanical mixture– different substances ARE visible.
Ex. Rock and water, sand and stones.

51
Q

Physical change:

A

A change in a substance that does not produce a new substance, even though it may change state, shape or form.

52
Q

Physical property:

A

Characteristic or feature of a substance.

53
Q

Qualitative physical properties:

A

Colour
State

Toxicity
Stability

56
Q

3 types of galaxies:

A

Irregular Galaxy

57
Q

What type of galaxy is the milky way?

A

Barred Spiral Galaxy.

58
Q

8 planets in order:

A

Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune

59
Q

Inner vs. Outer solar system:

A

Inner= rocky/ terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars)

Outer= gas giant planets (Jupitar, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune)

60
Q

What separates the inner and outer planets?

A

Between mars and jupiter is an asteroid belt which is a region of rocky debris that forms a ring around the sun.

61
Q

Light year

A

Distance light travels in a year.

62
Q

Why use light years?

A

Space is so huge so the use of kilometers would be impractical so we measure distances in space using light years.

63
Q

Rotation

A

An object’s spinning around its own axis. 24 hours

64
Q

Axis

A

An imaginary line that the object rotates around

65
Q

Revolution

A

An object is circling around another object. a year

66
Q

Orbit

A

A regular, repeating path that one object in space takes around another one. ( elliptical – oval shape)

A

Horizontal parallel lines

68
Q

degrees earth is tilted

A

23.5

69
Q

The amount of sunlight we receive IS

A

what causes the climate changes during the seasons.
