Science EOG Review
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| WQ: Why should we be worried about water for the future of the human population? | Our oceans are heavily polluted and we overuse unrecyclable water everyday. |
| WQ: What determines what drainage basin/watershed a person lives in? | A watershed is an area of land that drains water to another water source, so depending how close you are to that area of land. |
| WQ: Why is groundwater often cleaner than surface water? | Rock can act has a filter, as to remove some of the contaminated particles that are in water. |
| WQ: What is the relationship between dissolved oxygen and temperature? | The two depend on each other; there's more dissolved oxygen in water with a lower temperature, and less in water with a warmer temperature. |
| O: Describe what happens when two tectonic plates converge. | If two tectonic plates collide, they "form a convergent plate boundary," however, typically one rises above the other, creating a subduction (which can form deep trenches). |
| O: Describe what happens when two tectonic plates diverge. | Magma rises to take the place between the two plates, and spreads, creating more oceanic crust, and developing a "valley-like rift." |
| O: Why do most organisms live in the neritic zone? | Another name for the neritic zone is the open ocean, which contains many, many organisms and is the largest zone, likely because it has good sunlight and living habits. |
| EH: Explain how fossils form. | There's many different types of fossils, but all are/made from remains of plants or animals. |
| EH: What are index fossils used for? | Index fossils are fossils with a set date, able to find dates of other fossils. |
| EH: Why doesn’t Pangaea exist today? | The continental drift is a theory about how Earth's continents move around over time, explaining why Pangaea doesn't exist today? |
| ER: What is a disadvantage to all renewable resources? | Renewable resources are bad for the environment, and cause a lot of pollution. |
| ER: What gas is released into the air from burning fossil fuels? | Carbon dioxide, and if there's too much of a buildup, our environment will fall apart. |
| ER: What is a disadvantage to using nuclear power? | Nuclear power creates radioactive waste, which lasts and harms for thousands of years. |
| C: What happens to the molecules of water as it heats up? | The molecules in water move faster as the temperature rises |
| C: Give one example of a physical change and one example of a chemical change. | A physical change example is paper ripping, and a chemical change example is paper burning. |
| C: In which kind of mixture can you see the different parts? | Heterogenous mixtures, as hetero means different. |
| M: Describe how bacteria reproduce asexually. | Bacteria reproduces asexually with binary fission, where the organism divides. |
| DO: What do vaccines do for your body’s immune system? | Vaccines give your immune system a sample of what they need to fight off, preparing them if you happen to catch the disease. |
| DO: What is the difference between pandemics and epidemics? | Epidemics are outbreaks that spread quickly but stay local or fixed in one place, and pandemics are outbreaks that spread to two or more countries/areas (possible to start as epidemics). |
| E: How does energy from a top level consumer get recycled back into the pyramid? | Decomposers break down the consumers and transfer that energy back to the producers through the enviroment. |
| E: Why are energy pyramids shaped like pyramids? | Producers have the largest population and the highest energy amount, so they are at the bottom, and top-level consumers have the smallest population and the lowest energy amount. |
| E: Where do producers get their energy needed to grow? | Producers use solar energy, water and carbon dioxide (reactants) to make glucose and oxygen (products). |
| N: What do carbohydrates provide for your body? | Carbohydrates provide endurance, and are a good way to get long-lasting energy because it takes your body a while to digest them. |
| N: What does protein do for your body? | Protein helps you build muscle. |
| MB: What are two careers that involve biotechnology? | Animal technician and food sample inspector. |
| F: What's the main difference between point and non-point pollution? | Point pollution is easier to trace and stop, as it has one source of pollution but non-point has multiple. |
| F: Give two examples of non-point pollution. | Construction pollution and urban runoff. |
| F: List four dissolved gases that are in the ocean. | Nitrogen, carbon dioxide, argon, and oxygen. |
| M: What are the 4 main microbes? | Viruses, parasites, fungi and bacteria |
| DO: Define a disease vector. | An organism that can spread disease (can be through many different ways, such as bites, scratches or other contact) |
| M: Give one difference and one similarity about parasites/viruses. | Both take over hosts, but viruses are non living. |
| N: What does sugar do to you? | Sugar gives you a quick energy boost, but fades quickly and puts you on a "crash." |
| MB: What are some diseases caused by viruses? | Influenza (flu) and Rhinovirus (common cold). |
| MB: Define protists. | Eukaryotic microscopic organisms that hold their genetic material in their nucleus |
