Subtest2 Flashcards
Water cycle, What does X represent?
Condensation
Rain drop and gravity- which direction
will it fall? Look at the picture below.
SLIGHT RIGHT- B DIRECTION)
What are the folds of the long digestive system for?
To increase surface area over which the nutrients can be absorbed
What are mutations?
Mutations are a genetic variation that are important for evolution
Compared to the waters of the continental shelf, the surface waters of the open ocean are generally much less productive because they?
Lack of nutrients derived from the land or ocean sediment on the seabed.
Natural selection has to do with variations, overpopulation, competition and reproduction.
A process that causes populations to change over time
Northern hemisphere and winter
SOLSTICES: The days that one of the Earth’s poles is most tilted away from the sun are called SOLSTICES.
The energy from the sun… (know the process of photosynthesis) questions on photosynthesis
(what is the best example of photosynthesis or something).
Plant uses carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose (sugar) and oxygen
- Function of a cell.
RNA molecules are synthesized from DNA template
Question on photosynthesis (what is the best example of photosynthesis or something)
plants take in carbon dioxide and water to create glucose(sugar) and O2
Question about a little boy making a model of an atom, what would be the most accurate?
Having the protons and neutrons in the nucleus. (same wording as the test)
El Nino’s effect on seagulls/fish/fisheries (warms the water)
Less/No plankton
In the Northern Hemisphere, on a day in the winter solstice, which place experiences the longest amount of sunlight?
Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica (24 hours)
Members of what group act as Decomposers?
Fungi
- What has the most ocean life?
Sunlit Zone (euphotic zone
What’s inside the nucleus?
Protons and neutrons are in the nucleus (MIDDLE)
Which of the following is indicated by the size of the minerals in an igneous rock sample?
How long the rock took to cool as it formed
Which of the following changes is an example of natural selection
The percentage of beetles that are genetically darker in color increases in populations that expand from prairie into forest.
Which of the activities take place in the nucleolus of a cell?
RNA molecules are synthesized from DNA template
Which of the following statements about requirements of all living things are true? Same as
All living things need liquid water to distribute nutrients and waste within cells and throughout the body (Same wording as the test)
Earthquakes are most common in what areas?
Near the boundaries where tectonic plates slowly collide
During the N Hemisphere winter, the sun’s path across the sky is shorter and closer to the horizon than it is during the summer. This seasonal change in the sun’s path across the sky is caused by
Tilt on Earth’s rotational axis compared to its orbital plane
N Temperature region which marine environment temperature exhibits highest levels of biological productivity?
sunlit Zone or Estuaries
Humans have a digestive track long with many internal folds. The important function of the folds is to
Increase surface area over which the nutrients can be absorbed. (Exact wording on test)
Which of the following is a characteristic for terrestrial planets and not for gas planets?
Metallic/Metal and Iron at the core
