22
Q

photosynthesis equation

A

light+water+CO2 –> sugar + O2

23
Q

photosynthesis occurs in what part of the cell

24

A

in the nucleus

25
prokaryote vs. eukaryote cells
prokaryote (no nucleus) Eukaryote (nucleus)
26
Animal v Plant Cells
Both Eukaryote Plant cells -cell wall -chloroplast Animal Cells -no cell wall -no chloroplast
27

deposition
30
solid to gas
sublimination
31
gas to liquid
condensation
32
liquid to solid
freezing
33
charges attract/repel
like charges repel ←⊕⊕→ ←⊖⊖→ different charges attract ⊖→←⊕
34
reactants and products
CO2+H2O+light (reactants) → O2 + C6H12O6 (products)
35
ozone and greenhouse gases
ozone O3 is good and protects us from the sun greenhouse gases are bad and heat the planet
36
percent error
actual - guess ____________________ x 100 actual
37
lute vs. solvent "solution"
solute dissolves in solvent
38
viscosity
"friction for liquids" think: dropping a penny in honey versus milk"
39
conductor vs. insulator
conductor: low resistivity, high current insulator: high resistivity, low current
40
alloy vs. polymer
alloy: metals polymer: plastics
41
amoeba
unicellular and has a nucleus
42
ion vs. isotope
ion: charged particle (change in electrons) isotope: change in mass (neutrons)
43
what does aqueous mean
dissolved in water
44
what is an autotroph? heterotroph?
autotroph: makes its own food/energy heterotroph: consumes other life forms for food/energy
45
abiotic vs. biotic
abiotic: non living biotic: living
46
Doppler Effect
sounds or colors changing as an object gets closer or further away
47
NaCl
salt
48
Sucrose
Sugar
