10969824596	First law of thermodynamics	Energy can change forms, but it cannot be created or destroyed.(conserving energy) -ex: cellular respiration - potential energy in sugar molecules is released heat during exercise - sun's energy is converted into chemical by photosynthesis - solar radiation from sun is reflected by clouds or converted into heat once it is absorbed by the earths surface - 16% of the energy from gas makes a car move, 84% is lost as heat and mechanical energy	10
10969825189	Second law of thermodynamics	energy changes from a more-ordered to a less-ordered state - imputing energy from the outside the system increase order - photosynthesis uses the light dependent reactions and Calvin cycle to fuse CO2 and H2O into glucose C6H12O6 - liquid water will evaporate into gas at room temperature - while playing Jenga, the blocks will eventually find themselves scattered on the table or floor	11
10969825190	Photosynthesis	the process of turning the sun's diffuse light energy into concentrated chemical energy. (Sunlight converts carbon dioxide and water into sugars)	12
10969826114	Cellular Respiration	the process by which a cell uses the chemical reactivity of oxygen to split glucose into its constituent parts, water and carbon dioxide, and thereby release chemical energy that can be used to form chemical bonds or to perform other tasks within the cell (when an animal like a deer eats the leaves of a plant)	13
10969826115	Chemosynthesis	uses energy vents and potential in hydrogen sulfide to produce sugar	14
10969826834	Core	at earth's center is a dense core consisting mostly of iron, solid in the inner core and molten in the outer core.	15
10969826835	Mantle	The layer of hot, solid material between Earth's crust and core. (elastic rock) -asthenosphere: very soft or melted rock	16
10969827527	Crust - (lithosphere)	the harder rock above the asthenosphere is what we know as the lithosphere. The lithosphere includes both the uppermost mantle and the entirety of Earth's third major layer, the crust, the thin, brittle, low-density layer of rock that covers Earth's surface.	17
10969828393	Plate tectonics	The theory that pieces of Earth's lithosphere are in constant motion, driven by convection currents in the mantle.	18
10969828805	Divergent boundary	tectonic plates push apart from one another as magma (rock heated to a molten, liquid state) rises upward to the surface, creating new lithosphere as it cools. (Slicing across the floors of the world's oceans)	19
10969829321	Convergent boundary	where two plates converge or come together, can give rise to different outcomes	20
10969830476	Transform boundary	when two plates meet, might slip and grind along one another. This movement creates friction that generates earthquakes.	21
10969831140	Rock cycle	rocks and minerals that comprise them are heated, melted, cooled, broken down, and reassembled in a very slow process	22
11158556740	Subduction	An example of the convergant plate boundary (where plates collide) -it is when the oceanic plates slides beneath continental crust A. The Cascades, Andes Mountains B. Magma erupts through the surface in volcanoes	23
11158556741	Subduction zones	places where plates are pushed down into the upper mantle - generate tsunamis when there is a sudden downward movement of crust - volcanoes are associated in these zones - they represent places on earth where rock is "recycled" to magma	24
11158556742	Properties of Water	-dissolves other molecules that are vital for life -less dense ice floats on water -it is a neutral solution -water absorbs heat with only small changes in its temperature -waters strong cohesion allows transport of nutrients and waste (comes from its hydrogen bonds) -its polar nature allows it to act as a good solvent -can donate or accept h+ ions	25
11158556743	Hydrogen bonds	weak attraction between a hydrogen atom and another atom - hydrogen bonds connect positive regions of 1 water molecule to negative regions of another molecule	26
11158556744	Solar Radiation	Using solar radiation to produce food -autotrophs (primary producers): organisms that produce their own food --green plants, algae, Cyanobacteria- -photosynthesis: turning the sun's light energy too chemical energy	27
11158556745	Polymerization	joining monomers to form a polymer -ethylene being assembled into the plastic #1, PETE -diagram monomers being linked in plant tissue to form starch molecules -creating the nucleotide backbone in the DNA structure -(PVC) is created by joining long chains of vinyl chloride together	28

10467685320	Carrying capacity	is the maximum number of individuals in a population that the environment can support.	5
10467690763	Exponential population growth	when the resources availability is unlimited in the habitat, the population grows at a constant rate. (represented by a J shaped curve on a graph)	6
10467909549	Disruptive selection	extreme traits are favored over intermediate traits	7
10467911379	Stabilizing selection	intermediate traits are favored over extreme traits	8
10467917634	Directional selection	a single phenotype is favored causing a shift in one direction towards one of the two extreme phenotypes.	9
