COAL, OIL, & GAS Stats from Geohive: US total energy consumption ? ranked 1st worldwide US oil consumption ? ranked 1st worldwide US coal consumption ? ranked 2nd worldwide (behind China) US natural gas consumption ? ranked 1st worldwide I. Oil (15-6) Most important fossil fuel in US economy: used mostly for transportation A. Petroleum or crude oil (oil as comes out of ground) 1.Produced by decomposition of deeply buried dead organic matter from plants and animals under high temperatures and pressures over millions of years 2.Consists mainly of hydrocarbons, with small amounts of sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen impurities 3.Often trapped with natural gas 4.In pores and cracks in rocks, if enough pressure create a gusher when drill B. Oil recovery

AP Biology Lab #1 Animal Behavior The Effect of Different Stimuli on the Behavior of Pill Bugs Asif Sheikh 09/03/13 Mr. Perry ? 5th Period Abstract There were three main purposes for the experiment of placing 10 Pill Bugs in choice chambers with different environmental conditions for 10 minutes. First: to observe and record the behavior of the Pill Bugs, then to expose the Pill Bugs to two different scenarios, wet vs. dry and acidic vs. basic, to determine which environment they preferred. Second: to prove that the Pill Bugs preferred wet conditions over dry and acidic conditions over basic condition. Third: to prove that Pill Bugs displayed taxis behavior in both scenarios.

Chapter 24 Outline Economic Systems and Sustainability A. An economic system produces and distributes goods and services by using natural, human, and physical resources. 1. An economic system produces, distributes and consumes goods and services. 2. Three types of resources are used to produce goods and services, natural resources, human resources (labor and skills), and physical or manufactured resources (tools, machinery, etc) B. A purely free-market system is a theoretical ideal where buyers and sellers interact in markets without interference by government or other interference. 1. In the ideal, all economic decisions are governed by demand and supply and price.

Chapter 9 and 10 Vocabulary Chapter 9- Andes Mountains: In the South American continent they are a part of a chain of mountain ranges that run through the western portion of of North, Central, and South America. Llano: A large, grassy, treeless area in South America, used for grazing and farming. Cerrado: A savanna that has flat terrain and moderate rainfall, which make it suitable for farming. Pampas: A vast area of grassland and rich soil in south-central South America. Orinoco River: A river mainly in Venezuela and part of South America?s northernmost river system. Amazon River: The second longest river in the world, and one of South America?s three major river systems, running about 4,000 miles from west to east, and emptying into the Atlantic Ocean.

Chris Schink Biology Vocab Chapter 29 Parenchyma- In higher plants, the fundamental tissue that is composed of thin walled living cells that function in photosynthesis and storage. Collenchyma- A group of elongated, thick walled plant cells that support the growth of leaves and stems. Sclerenchyma- A type of plant tissue composed of cells that have thickened secondary walls that function in plant support. Epidermis- The outer layer of cells of a plant or animal. Cuticle- A waxy or fatty watertight layer on the external wall of epidermal cells. Tracheid- A thick-walled cylindrical cell with tapered ends that is found in xylem and that provides support and conducts water and nutrients. Pit- In plants, the thin, porous areas of a tracheid cell wall.

Daniel Seo 10/10/13 Period 5 Chapter 6 Thermochemistry Outline 6.1 The Nature of Energy 1. Energy ? capacity to do work (or to produce heat) i. Work ? force acting over a distance (moving an object) ii. Heat ? form of energy. ? chemicals may store potential energy in their bonds that can be released as heat energy 2. The law of conservation of mass ? energy can be converted from one form to another, but cannot be created or destroyed ? is also the first law of thermodynamics. i. Potential energy ? energy due to position or composition ii. Kinetic energy ? energy due to the motion of an object ? K? = 1/2mv2 3. Temperature reflects random motion of particles in a substance 4. Temperature indicates the direction in which heat energy will flow

Warm-Up Your car's gas tank holds 18.6 gallons and is one quarter full. Your car gets 16 miles/gal. You see a sign saying, "Next gas 73 miles." Your often-wrong brother, who is driving, is sure you'll make it without running out of gas. You're not so sure and do some quick figuring: Matter and Change Matter: Anything that has mass and takes up space. Mass: measure of the amount of matter. Matter and Change Atoms: Smallest unit of an element that maintains the properties of that element Elements: pure substance made of one atom. Compounds: made of atoms of two or more elements that are chemically bonded Physical properties and changes Physical properties: quality or condition of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the substance
