Answers 2024
Host - -a food source
- Decrease in atmospheric pressure - -associated with stormy weather and
precipitation
- Barometer - -an instrument that measures atmospheric pressure
- Anemometer - -measures the speed of wind or gas current
- Hygrometer - -measures humidity of air or gas
- Independent Variable - -quantity that is known, plotted along the X-axis
- Dependent Variable - -quantity that is unknown, plotted along the Y-axis
- Recessive - -little t, an allele that is masked when a dominant allele is
present
- Dominant - -big T, describes a trait that covers over, or dominates,
another form of that trait.
- Commenalism - -a symbiotic relationship where one organism benefits and
the other neither is harmed nor benefited
- Mutualism - -a relationship between two species in which both species
benefit
- Parasitism - -a relationship between two organisms of different species
where one benefits and the other is harmed
- Osmosis - -diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane,
how water enters a plant
- Nimbostratus clouds - -gray rain clouds
- Cumulus cloud - -puffy, cotton like, fair weather
- Cumulonimbus clouds - -developing thunderstorms, hail, lightning, heavy
rain
- Stratus - -associated with wet conditions
, - Scientific questions - -is testable and can be answered by observing,
measuring, and experimenting
- Greatest threat to biodiversity - -destruction of plant and animal habitats
- Tides - -the regular rise and fall of the ocean's surface influenced by the
moon's gravity pulling on earth
- Spring tides - -the highest tides, formed when the earth, sun and moon
are lined up in a row, this happens every two weeks during a new moon or
full moon
- Neap tides - -smaller tides, formed when the earth, sun and moon form a
right angle, this causes the sun and moon to pull the water in two different
directions, happens during a quarter or three-quarter moon
- Mechanical energy - -relates to the energy an object has due to its motion
or position
- Advances in technology support - -increase in carrying capacity and size of
human populations
- Carrying capacity - -number of individuals that the environment can
support over an extended period without causing environmental degradation
- Potential energy - -position of an object, stored energy (ball at the top of a
hill)
- Kinetic energy - -motion of an object (ball rolling down a hill)
- Large bodies of water - -absorb heat and release heat at a lower rate then
the surrounding land air (high specific heat capacity of water)
- Call walls - -enable cells to withstand internal water pressure without
rupturing, protect the cell, the surface area and volume of a cell 4:1 ratio
- Gettysburg Adress - -"all men are created equal", Lincoln gave it after civil
war, purpose was to create a cemetery for the fallen soldiers, wanted to
bring the country together
- US constitution was written to - -establish a national government and
define its powers, places limits on government
- Due process - -constitutional guarantee that no person may be deprived of
life, liberty, or property without fair legal proceedings
