QuestionAnswer
One of the first known classification systems was developed by Aristotle
The science of classifyinf living things is taxonomy
Into how mant kingdoms are organisms classified? five
Viruses are made up of a piece of nucleic acid and a protien coat
The Swedish botanist who is known as the father of modern taxonomy is Carlus Linnaeus
The classification level made up of related spieces is called a spieces
All the following are kingdoms except viruses
The classification level made up of related classes is called a phylum
Grouping things according to their similarities is called phylum
Which of the following groups contains only one kind of organism? speices
The system of giving each kind of organism a two-part scientific name was developed by Linnaeus
Plantlike organisms that lack chlorophyll are fungi
Unicellular organisms that have a nuclus are protists
A virus can enter a cell and do what give off an enzyme, remain dormant, or cause a disese
A bacteriphoge is a virus that infects bacterial cells
Viruses only can reproduce inside a living cell
ONe way viruses are classified is by their type of nuleic acid
All the following describe monerans except euglena
The classification group made up of related phyla is called a kingdom
Genetic material is coiled and located in one region in monerans
Plants that have soft, green tems are called herbaceous
As a result of decreaseing amounts of daylight and cooler tempertures in autumn, leaves change color and stop makeing chlorphyll
The gree leaf-like parts at the bottom of a flower are sepals
Parrellel veins in their leaves and fibrous roots are fetures of monocots
Stomata are opened and closed by Gaurd Cells
A roots surface area is greatly increased by ougrowths called root hairs
In flowers, the parts that produce pollen grains are called anther
in flowers, the transfer of pollen to the stigma is called pollination
THe main function of flowers is to aid in a plant's reproduction
Cycads and gingkos are 2 groups of gymnosperms
Gymnosperms are woody land plants that do NOT have covered seeds
The green pigment that traps energy from the sun is called chlorphyll
Gymnosperms that produce seeds in cones and have needles are conifers
Flowering plants are called angiosperms
A seed plant with 2 cotyledons is a dicot
A mature ovary and its seeds is called a fruit
Flowers are organs of sexual reproduction
The seed structure that provides food for the developing plant is a cotyledon
All the following are jobs of the root except makeing food
A taproot system has one large root
Water and minerals are carried up from the roots of a plant by the xylem
THe flowers of angiosperms produce seeds and fruits
The main reproductive organs in a flower are the stamens and the pistils
Pollination between flowers on different plants is cross pollination
The leaf pigments that are responible for the yellow and orange colors are the carotenoids
Any Substance that enters into a chemical reaction is called reactant
The number that describes how many molecules of a substance are involved in a chemical reation is a coefficent
A chemical reaction in which a uncombined element replaces an element that is part of a compund is called a single-replacement reaction
An expresstion in which symbols and formulas are used to represent a chemical reaction is called chemical equation
When a chemical reaction occurs new substances are formed
When 2 substances combine chemically, the properties of the products are different from the proporties of the reactants
In the formula 5CaSO4, the total number of sulfer atoms present is five
Which 2 types of reactions could be considered oppisites? synthesis and decompostion
The number placed below and elemnt's symbol in a formula is called a subscript
An increase in temperture will usually cause the rate of chemical reaction to increase
In a chemical equation, nymbers often appear in front of a chemical formula. These numbers tell you number of molecules or atoms of each substance in a reaction
In a chemical reactions, what does the Principle of Conservation of Mass mean? matter is not created or destroyed
The substance listed on the left side of a chemical eaquestion are the reactants
A chemical equation is made up of the formulas for the reactants and products seperated by an arrow
A chemical equation that shows the same number of each kind of atom on both sides of the eaquation is said to be balenced
The only sure evidence for a chemical reaction is the production of 1 or more substances
Which of the following is said to occur when atoms of an elemnt gain electrons? reduction
A common lubricant in a car's engine is oil
The forward force that helps a plane take off is called thrust
Universal gravatation was discovered by Newton
All the following are forces except mass
As you increase the septh of an object underwater, the water pressure on the object increases
The air pressure at the top of a mountain is higher that the air pressure on an orbital satellite
Lubricants are used to increase friction
The weight of an object tells you how heavy it is
In order to find the amount of pressure exerted on an object you must divide force by area
Steamlining an airplane reduces drag
If the area remains the same, you can increase the amount of pressuse by increaseing the force
The idea that all objects are attracted to one another is called the Law of Gravity
Hail falls to the ground because of the force of gravity
The force that opposes the downward motion of a falling object is called air resistance
According to Bernoulli's Principle, as the spread of a fluid increases, its pressure decreases
Sand is something spread on an icy surface in order to increase friction
A car is traveling at 90km/hr when it suddenly stops. The passengers in the car will continue to move in a straight line
No force is necessary to keep an object doing what it is already doing
Balanced forces are oppisite and equal
For every action, the reaction is equal opposite
What happens when two forces act in the same direction they add together
The tendency of an object to reddish change in it's motion is known as inertia
The greater the mass of an object the greater it's inertia
One way to increase acceleration is by decrease the mass
