GACE SCIENCE Exam Study Guide.
Adaption - Answer✔small genetic changes within an organism
ancient science - Answer✔astronomy
antibiotics - Answer✔used to treat BACTERIAL infections NOT VIRAL INFECTIONS
Atoms - Answer✔building blocks of all matter
benefits of sleep - Answer✔build and repair tissue/muscles
Body Temperatre - Answer✔there is no single number that represents a normal/healthy
temperature. 98.1 is just where the circulatory and respiratory systems regulate the body
temperature
Cardiovascular exercise - Answer✔-involves the large muscles (legs)
-strengthens heart and lungs
Characteristics of Living Things - Answer✔-cells: change to their surroundings
-reproduce: essential for continuation
-DNA: genetic diversity
-grow and develop: have a life cycle
-respond to environment: stimulus/response
-homeostasis: mainting stable internal conditions through sweating or shivering
-energy use (food): make food or receive from others
-evolution: adaptation and evolution
-
stimulus/response - Answer✔mouse/cat stalking mouse
autogrophs - Answer✔Ex: Plants
make own food from the sun's energy through photosynthesis
heterotrophs - Answer✔Ex: animals, people, fungi
get energy from eating other sources

adaptation - Answer✔small changes within an organism to survive
evolution - Answer✔major changes over a long period of time to survive
Chemical Change - Answer✔Something new is formed
bonds are broken and new bonds are formed between different atoms
Ex: decomposition, neutralization, photosynthesis, cooking, oxidation, ripening
neutralization - Answer✔mixing an acid with a base, resulting in water and salt
photosynthesis - Answer✔a process in which carbon dioxide and water are changed into sugars
by plants
oxidation - Answer✔rust or tarnishing
Classification

Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species
climate - Answer✔the usual weather an area has year after year
rainbow - Answer✔a white light, containing all colors of the visible spectrum, form the sun
made up of different colors ROYGBIV
scientific phenomenon - Answer✔vocab word?? (condensation)
condensation - Answer✔change in phase from gas to liquid
Ex: water droplets fallen in form of water on the grass
dew point - Answer✔air temperature at which vapor(gas) begins to condense(turn to liquid)
conduction - Answer✔hot tea and spoon
conductor - Answer✔materials through which electric charges can easily flow
constructive responses - Answer✔paragraph 1 What: define
paragraph 2 How: content knowledge and process
paragraph 3 Why: restate the upper two paragraphs
