807429366An infectious disease is one thatis caused by pathogens
807429367Viruses differ from other types of pathogens because pathogens are alive and viruses arenonliving
807429368Parasites and viruses are similar to each other because they both infecthost
807429369How is malaria able to cause symptoms in so many parts of the body?A parasite enters the circulatory system and travels to all parts of the body.
807429370The body's ability to destroy pathogens before they can cause disease is calledimmunity
807429371A person's weight is the measure ofgravity
807429372A change or signal in the environment that can make an organism react isimpulse
807429373The central nervous system is made up of ___________ and ______________the brain; the spinal cord
807429374The thick column of nerves that links the brain to most of the nerves in the peripheral nervous system is thespinal cord
807429375When an individual's body becomes able to reproduce this main event is known aspuberty
807429376Eggs are produced in theovaries
807429377Where does a fertilized egg develop after it leaves the fallopian tubesthe uterus
807429378Looking at the graph "Motion of Two Joggers" ISN page 8, which jogger shows a constant speedKathy
807429379Explain the motion for Rachel at 8 minutes.she would have jogged 700 meters
807429380Would the motion for Rachel be the same at 8 minutes if this were a speed versus time graph? Explain. Use ISN 10 for help.No, because her motion would stay constant
807429381The steepness of a line graph is called theslope
807429382Write the formula for speedDistance/Time = Speed
807429383Use the formula for speed. What is the speed of a bobsled whose distance-time graph indicates that it traveled 100 m in 25 s?The speed is 4 miles per hour
807429384When you push pairs of surfaces together with the same amount of force, what kind of surface would cause greater friction?Sandpaper
807429385Inertia is not a force, name the forces that act at a distance.Electrical, Gravitational, and magnetic
807429386Name the contact forcesapplied, normal and friction
807429387The strengths of two forces are added when two forces act in the samedirection
807429388When a balanced force acts on an object, the force does not change the ____________ of the object.Mass
807429389The Law of Gravity recognizes that every object exerts force on every object and that the strength of the force is dependent upon what two things?mass and distance above ground
807429390Which object has a greater force upon the other? Two same size objects or two objects where one has more mass.Two objects where one has more mass
807429391Which object has a greater force upon the other? Two same size objects that have a greater distance between them or two same size objects that are close together?Two same size objects that are close together
807429392Heat transfer between two substances that are in direct contact is calledconduction
807429393Forces can be added together only if they are acting on the __________ object.same
807429394What is the main way heat is transferred in the troposphere?Convection
807429395The condition of the Earth's atmosphere at a particular time and place isweather
807429396The three mechanisms by which heat is transferred through the Earth's system areconduction, convection, radiation
807429397Water vapor enters the atmosphere by what process?transpiration
807429398What is the energy source of the water cycle?the sun
807429399How is the heat transferred from the sun to Earth?radiation
807429400The movement of thermal energy from a warmer object to a cooler object is called ______heat transfer
807429401Heat is transferred from one particle of matter to another within an object or between two objects in a process calledconduction
807429402The transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves is called __________radiation
807429403heat transfer occurs only fromhot to cold
807429404Warm ocean currents move to cooler ocean regions of the Earth. What means of energy transfer does this?convection
807429405Energy from the sun warms the air above land and as the air warms, it rises in the atmosphere. Along a coastline area, cooler air from above the ocean flows in toward the land, to replace the rising warm air. What type of energy transfer is described by these processes?convection
807429406What process allows water from lakes, oceans, rivers, and the atmosphere to enter into the water cycle?evaporation
807429407The major source of energy to power the water cycle is __________the sun.
