Front

What happens to potential energy when a magnet is released from a suspended position?

Back

Magnetic and gravitational potential energy decrease, and elastic potential energy increases.

Front

What three components are essential for photosynthesis?

Back

Water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide.

Front

What occurs when two oceanic plates collide?

Back

The collision results in earthquakes and tsunamis.

Front

How do chloroplasts and mitochondria work together in a plant cell?

Back

Chloroplasts produce glucose and oxygen, which mitochondria use to create ATP for energy.

Front

What type of relationship exists between lions and gazelles?

Back

Predator-Prey.

Front

Define potential energy.

Back

Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or state.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight, which is essential for the photosynthesis process.

Front

What is the difference between kinetic and potential energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy based on position.

Front

What is an ecosystem?

Back

An ecosystem is a community of living organisms interacting with their environment.
