Front

What property is being tested when using a magnet on various objects?

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

How is energy transformed during photosynthesis?

What is the definition of a solid?

Back

A solid is a state of matter characterized by its definite shape and volume.

Front

What is magnetism?

Back

Magnetism is a physical phenomenon produced by the motion of electric charge, which results in attractive and repulsive forces between objects.

Back

Balanced forces are forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

What is chemical energy?

Back

Chemical energy is the energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds, like atoms and molecules.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy for photosynthesis.
