Night and Day
night and day is dependent on the rotation of the earth, not on the orientation of its axis
Hypothalamus
Maintains homeostasis
troposphere
the lowest and bottom layer of the Earth's atmosphere; where almost all weather occurs; the thinnest layer where we live, breathe. It is also where all the weather occurs
allium cepa
onion
metamorphic rock
forms when a sedimentary rock is subjected to heat and pressure
Higher altitude
Boiling point of water decreases
ribosomes
site of protein synthesis
Doppler effect
change in the apparent frequency of a wave as observer and source move toward or away from each other
Avogadro's number/constant ( 6.02 × 10^23 )
The number of particles in a mole
acquired characteristics
Characteristics of an organism gained during its lifetime, not determined genetically and therefore not transmitted to the offspring; Individuals that survive and reproduce tend to be the ones that have advantageous traits.
Smallpox
caused by 2 virus: Variola major and Variola minor
Gamma rays
Electromagnetic waves with the shortest wavelengths and highest frequencies
Excessive consumption of carbohydrates can lead to obesity. Why did the experts say so?
Sugars are heavy (like pasta, rice) Sugars are addictive because these boost your appetite Sugars, when intake and the liver stores it for future use, if too much the other sugars turn into fats (adipose)
Thyroid Gland
Produces hormones that regulate metabolism, body heat, and bone growth; Endocrine gland that surrounds the trachea in the neck.
Pituitary Gland
Master Gland; The center of control of the endocrine system that secretes a large number of hormones to regulates growth and control other endocrine glands
Niels Bohr
planetary model of the atom; discovered that electrons move around the nucleus in orbits called electron shells.
nebular hypothesis
the theory that the solar and stellar systems were developed from a primeval nebula.
most of sun rays will hit directly at the equator. Ex: Korea and Japan will likely to experience the same climate like the Philippines. They loss their four seasons.
Imagine some cosmic catastrophe that jolts Earth so that its axis is perpendicular to the line between the sun and Earth. The most predictable result of this change would be
streak
The color of a mineral in powdered form
Betelgeuse
Red supergiant star in the Orion Constellation located in the top left of Orion?
Gay-Lussac's Law
Pressure and Temperature
HIV/AIDS
Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome
Red
What light will be produced when we combine Yellow and Magenta lights?
Amylase
Enzyme in saliva that breaks the chemical bonds in starches
12
If a cell has 12 chromosomes, how many chromosomes will EACH of its daughter cells have after 2 rounds of mitosis?
phylum
Members of a class are more alike than members of; Group of closely related classes
Arsenic (33 As 74.9)
metalloid: usually in combination with sulfur and metals, but also as a pure elemental crystal.
Potential Energy
energy that matter possesses because of its location or structure (ex. object placed in a higher position increases Potential Energy)
centripetal force
a force that continuously changes the direction of an object to make it move in a circle
Plutonium (94 Pu 244.1)
It is an actinide metal of silvery-gray appearance that tarnishes when exposed to air, and forms a dull coating when oxidized. used as a fuel in nuclear power plants and in making nuclear weapons ("atomic bombs"). The isotope used for this purpose is plutonium-239. It is used because it will undergo nuclear fission. Very few isotopes will undergo nuclear fission.
law
the rule that describes the specific behavior of something in nature
Warts
Warts are growths on your skin caused by an infection with human papilloma virus, or HPV
Centrifugal Force
the apparent force that pulls a rotating object away from the center of its rotation
photosynthesis and respiration
Photosynthesis stores energy in complex organic molecules, while respiration releases it.
Uranium (92 U 238.0)
A heavy toxic silvery-white radioactive metallic element used in nuclear power stations.
Sirius
Brightest star in the night sky. The "dog" star. Actually a binary star.
length of the year
depends on the revolution of the earth around the sun, if the impact from the cosmic catastrophe is enough to alter the orbit path of earth, a big change in the length of the year would be possible.
Dmitri Mendeleev
Developed the first widely accepted periodic table in 1869
Covalent Bond
Sharing of electrons to complete their octet
Tilt of the earth (Axis)
is the reason why we have diverse climatic pattern on earth.
Ionic Bond
Transfer of electrons to complete their octet
hardness
the resistance of a mineral to being scratched
Inertia
The tendency of an object to resist changes in motion is dependent on mass
[He]2s^2 2p^4
electron configuration of Oxygen
Ernest Rutherford
discovered the nucleus by shooting alpha particles through a thin piece of gold foil
Bone marrow
where White Blood Cells are made
nuclear membrane
Surrounds, protects, and controls what goes in and out of the nucleus; found in eukaryotes but not in prokaryotes
Francium [Fr 87 (eka-caesium)]
It is extremely radioactive; its most stable isotope, francium-223 (originally called actinium K after the natural decay chain it appears in), has a half-life of only 22 minutes
Antoine Lavoisier
"Father of Modern Chemistry" who named oxygen and described its role in combustion
Colloid
Heterogeneous mixture whose particles never settle (ex. fog, milk+water)
