2
Negatively charged particle with extremely small
mass found in the space around the nucleus of
atoms.
3
What are electrons?
4
The subatomic particles that have a positive
electrical charge and are found in the nucleus.
5
What are protons?
6
A neutral subatomic particle in an atoms nucleus
that has a mass nearly equal to that of a proton.
7
What is a neutron?
8
Division of an atoms nucleus into two or more
fragments resulting in a release of neutrons and
energy.
9
What is fission?
10
The process in which atomic nuclei with small
masses are combined to form a nucleus with a
larger mass.
11
What is fission?
12
It includes gamma rays, X-rays, ultra-violet,
visible light and microwaves.
13
What is electromagnetic radiation?
14
It is a way to estimate the age of a fossil based
on the remaining amount of Carbon-14
15
What is Carbon Dating?
16
It is caused by the natural heating of Earths
surface by certain atmospheric gases which helps
keep Earth warm enough to sustain life.
17
What is the greenhouse effect?
18
It is a geological explanation for the movement
of continents over Earths thick, liquid interior
19
What is plate tectonics?
20
It is the ancient landmass made up of all the
continents that began to break apart about 200
million years ago.
21
What is Pangea?
22
It is the central membrane- bound organelle that
manages cellular functions and contains DNA
23
What is the nucleus?
24
They are organelles containing chlorophyll that
capture energy from the sun to convert carbon
dioxide and water into simple sugars.
25
What are chloroplasts?
26
The process by which autotrophs such as algae and
plants trap energy from sunlight.
27
What is photosynthesis?
28
They are the cell structures in the nucleus that
carry the genetic material that is copied and
passed on from generation to generation.
29
What are chromosomes?
30
Organelles in eukaryotic cells that transform
energy stored in food molecules into ATP.
31
What are mitochondria?
32
The leading theory about the formation of the
universe which states that the universe was
created about 15 billion years ago after a huge
explosion.
33
What is the Big Bang Theory?
34
It is a massive group of stars, gas, and dust
held together in space by gravity. Ours is the
Milky Way.
35
What is a galaxy?
36
It is a rocky remnant of the early solar system
found mostly between the orbits of Mars and
Jupiter.
37
What is an asteroid?
38
It produces a streak of light when a meteroid
falls toward Earth and burns up in Earths
atmosphere.
39
What is a meteor?
40
A meteroid that does not completely burn up in
Earths atmosphere and strikes Earths surface,
sometimes causing an impact crater.
41
What is a meteorite?
42
The energy of an object due to its motion.
43
What is kinetic energy?
44
It is stored energy resulting from the position
of an object.
45
What is potential energy?
46
It is the force of attraction for all objects
that depends on their masses and the distance
between them.
47
What is gravity?
48
It is a complex macromolecule such as RNA or DNA
that stores genetic information in cells in the
form of a code.
49
What is Nucleic Acid?
50
A structure, behavior, or internal process that
enables an organism to respond to stimuli and
better survive in an environment.
51
What is an adaptation?
