Science Concepts Flashcards

Front

Potential Energy

Back

Energy that is stored and can be used later, usually due to height.

Front

Role of the atmosphere.

Back

The atmosphere provides protection from space.

Front

Southern Virginia's water flows to the North Carolina Sounds.

Back

Northern Virginia's water flows to the Chesapeake Bay.

Front

Chloroplast

Back

Organelles in plant cells that change light energy into chemical energy in the form of sugar (glucose); also in some protists like the Euglena.

Front

Nitrogen Base Pairs

Back

A pairs with T, C pairs with G; Adenosine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine.

Front

Dominant vs. Recessive

Back

Dominant always wins; each box with a capital letter = 25% chance the trait will be dominant.

Front

Annelids

Back

Segments (Worms)

Front

Photosynthesis

Back

The process that allows plants to turn light energy (Sun) into chemical energy (Glucose). It is the opposite of Respiration.

Front

Cooperation

Back

Joint operation or action (e.g., wolves hunting as a pack).

Front

Ecosystem

Back

All living organisms in an area and the nonliving features of their environment.
