Q

How does food and water get transport ed through plants?

A

Root hairs absorb the water into the roots that then go up the xylem to the rest of the plant. Food gets made in the leaves through the process of photosynthesis and is transported to the rest of the tree via the phloem.

Ciliary muscle, lens, iris, pupil, cornea, aqueous humour, vitreous humour, retina and optic nerve.
28
What is WHMIS?
Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System
29

Far-sighted
unable to see close objects clearly. Can be fixed with a double convex.
31
Light spectrum
ROYGBIV
32
What are the 5 types of light?
Incandescent, Fluorescent, Phosphorescent, Chemiluminescent, and Bioluminescent
33
Frequency
The number of entire cycles completed by a vibrating object in a unit of time. Measured in hertz (Hz).
34
Amplitude
In a wave, the height of the crest and the depth of the trough.
35
Hertz
(Hz) A unit of frequency equal to one cycle per second.
36
Simple machine disadvantages
Akward to use in some cases.
37
Simple machine advantages.
Decreases effort, make something easier to do, are more convenient.
38
Hydraulics
The transfer of energy through a fluid in a sealed system.
39
Pneumatics
A system in which pressured gases are used to transit energy. Does not have to be a closed system.
40
Compression of liquids and gasses.
Liquids do not compress, gases to compress.
41
Mechanical Advantage (MA)
The comparison of the force produced by a machine to the force applied to it. MA=Load force (FL) divided by Effort force (FE)
42
Output and Input Work
Output: the work a machine does on a load. Input: The total work you do on a machine
43
Effort
The force supplied to any machine to produce a action.
44
Force
Anything that causes a change in motion
45
Distance
The longer the distance on a lever, the easier it is.
46
Classes of Levers
Class 1, Eg, teeter-totter Class 2, Eg, Wheelbarrow Class 3, Eg, Hockey stick (FLE)
47
Pressure
The force acting over a certain area. P=F divided by A
48
Water Table
In the ground, the level beneath which porous rocks are saturated with water.
49
Porous Rocks
Rocks that allow water to pass through tiny gaps in between them.
50
Continental Shelf
The gradually sloping area between a seacoast and the edge of an ocean basin.
51
Continental Slope
A steep slope dividing a continental shelf from an ocean basin.
52
Abyssal Plain
On the deep ocean floor, wide, open, flat plains between the high mountain ranges at the center and deep trenches at the edges
53
Ocean Basins
Deep, wide depressions in earth's surface that contain oceans
54
Ocean Ridges
Long, undersea mountain ridges
55
Trenches
Narrow, steep sided canyons running along some ocean floor margins.
56
What are the purposes of a water dam?
To divert water and create energy.
57
Osmosis
The diffusion of a solvent (usually water) through a selectively permeable membrane.
58
What is the most common water source to the least common?

59
Which countries have the most fresh water?
Brazil (18%), then Canada (9%), then China (9%), then USA (8%), then other countries (56%).
60
Glacier
A large moving mass of snow and ice. They contain a lot of fresh water. Formed by snow being compressed by its own weight into ice. Create U shaped valleys.
61
Ice field
An upland area of ice that feeds two or more glaciers.
62
Valley Glacier
Glaciers that form in a mountain range.
63
Continental Glacier
A huge mass of snow and ice.
64
Ice Fall
Occurs when a glacier slides over a steep cliff and breaks up.
65
Crevasse
A deep fissure or crack in the ice.
66
What is glacial retreating?
When a glacier's tip melts faster then it is growing.
67
Pack Ice
Frozen salt-water sheets rarely thicker then 5m.
68
How are Icebergs formed?
Icebergs are formed when large chances of ice calve from a continental glacier.
69
Striations
Parallel scars or scratches left behind when a glacier passes by stone.
70
Cirques
Bowl-shaped basins eroded by glaciers.
71
Arete
A sharp ridge formed on the side of a mountain.
72
Horn
A sharpened mountain peak formed by 3 or more cirques.
73
Till
A mixture of different sized sediments left behind by a glacier.
74
Morain
A long ridge of material left behind by a glacier.
75
Esker
A winding ridge of sand and gravel
76
Outwash
Material deposits by the meltwater of a glacier
77
Water-cycle
Evaporation, condensation, precipitation,run-off or ground water.
78
River flow rate
How much water is passing through a river at a certain time.
79
Ocean currents
A broad, continuous movement of water in the ocean. Warm currents come from the equator and warm the air around them. Cold currents come from the far north and far south and can cause wind.
80
Ocean biodiversity
Ocean life has the most diversity within the top 180 M from the surface.
81
How do Caddisfly Larvae protect themselves in streams and rivers?
They build a small case around them out of sand and plant material.
82
Potable water
Water that is safe to drink and use.
83

The process of making food using energy from chemical reactions.
84
Sea floor vents.
A crack in the ocean floor that releases heat and minerals.
85
Tides
The slow rise and fall of the ocean surface, caused by the gravitational pull of the Sun and the Moon.
