Third Year Test 1 Flashcards
What is force
Force causes movement
What did Isaac Newton define force as
As allowing/causing stationer objects to move, causing a moving object to change direction, slow down or speed up
What is six types of forces?
- Gravity.2. Magnetic 3. Electric 4. Push.5. Pull 6. Friction
What is the unit of force
Newton
What reduces friction
Lubricants
Tell me about weight
Weight is the force pulling an object to the centre of the Earth. It is measured in neutrons. weight does change as gravity changes.
Define the term mass
It is the amount of matter (solid,liquid,gas) that an object contains. It is measured in kg or g. Does not change as gravity changes
What was hooks law
Hooks law was that as the graph is a straight line to the origin (00) the extension of the spring is directly proportional to the force applied
What is a biochemical process?
A biochemical process chemical reaction takes place in a living thing
Define the term photosynthesis
Photosynthesis is a process of plants trapped light energy to make food
Name five factors that need for photosynthesis
Light,carbon dioxide,water,chlorophyll,temperature
Define the term light
Light is needed to provide energy to form glucose. As light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis increases levels decrease to the lack of CO2 or water
Define the term carbon dioxide in plant photosynthesis
Carbon dioxide is mostly absorbs to the stoma(tiny holes) in a plants leaves. As CO2levels rise the rise of photosynthesis increases other factors límite it example light
Define the term water
Water is observed by the roots need to make glucose and allow enzymes to function
Define the term chlorophyll
Chlorophyll is the green pigments used to absorb the light energy needed to make glucose. It is found in the chloroplast of cells.
Define the term temperature
Most plants enzymes were best between 20°C and 30°C
Define the term respiration
It is the release of energy from food
