Study #1 for Science Final Exam

What is photosynthesis?

• How Animals use sunlight to produce their own food

• How plants use sunlight to produce their own food

• How cars use sunlight to produce their own food

• How Humans use sunlight to produce their own food

What is Cellular Respiration?

• The process that all living organisms use to unlock energy that is stored in their food as chemical energy

• The process all cars use to unlock energy that is stored in their food as chemical energy

• I don't know

• This is the right answer ;)

What is involved in photosynthesis and cellular respiration? How are they related?

• Photosynthesis has left over oxygen which is released through cellular respiration

• they aren't related

• Cellular respiration has left over oxygen which is released through photosynthesis

What does rotation and revolution cause on The Earth

• Rotation is the spinning of earth on its axis and causes the earth to experience night and day

• Revolution is orbiting of earth around the sun and causes the earth to experience a year

• None of the above

• all of the above

What are the 3 main forms of heat transfer? Which way does heat go?

• Heat moves from colder objects to warm ones

  
  

  Radiation- through space

  Conduction- through touch

  Convection- because of density (warm air/liquid is less dense than cold air/liquid so it rises)

• Heat moves from warmer objects to colder ones

What causes climate at the equator to be the same all year?

• The suns rays hit the earth indirectly at the equator which causes the same warm temperatures year round

• The suns rays hit the earth directly all the equator which causes the same warm temperatures year round

• The climate isn't the same year round

• the climate is cold year round

what causes the seasons?

• The tilt of earth

• How earth spins and rotates

• The revolution of the earth

What is the most abundant gas in Earth's atmosphere?

• Oxygen

• Nitrogen

• Carbon dioxide

• Methane  

In which direction does the moving force of air flow?

• From warm temperatures to cold temperatures

• From areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure

• From east to west

• From high elevations to low elevations

Which effect does an ocean have on the climate?

• Rushing water from tides cool the land

• There is no influence on climate from an ocean

• Cool ocean air causes a cool climate

• Warm ocean air causes a dry climate
