Matter and Energy Quizs

Chemical Energy

• Energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds, such as glucose, that can be released during chemical reactions.

• Energy that can be converted into kinetic energy during motion.

• Energy that is released during nuclear reactions.

• Energy that is stored in the form of heat.

Monomer

• A small molecule that can bond with others to form a polymer, like amino acids forming proteins.

• A large molecule made up of many monomers.

• A type of enzyme that catalyzes reactions in the body.

• A carbohydrate that provides energy to cells.

Anaerobic Respiration

• Cellular respiration that requires oxygen, resulting in high energy production.

• Cellular respiration that does not require oxygen, resulting in less energy production.

• A process that occurs only in plants during photosynthesis.

• A type of respiration that occurs in the presence of light.

Carbon Sink

• A natural or artificial reservoir that absorbs and stores carbon from the atmosphere, such as forests or oceans.

• A process that releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

• A type of renewable energy source.

• A method of carbon capture and storage that involves chemical reactions.

Mitochondria

• Organelles in cells where cellular respiration takes place.

• Structures that store genetic information in cells.

• Components responsible for protein synthesis in cells.

• Membranes that protect the cell from external environment.

Chlorophyll

• The green pigment in plants that captures light energy for photosynthesis.

• A type of carbohydrate found in fruits.

• A protein that helps in cellular respiration.

• A mineral essential for plant growth.

Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

• A gas taken in by plants and used during photosynthesis to make glucose.

• A liquid that plants absorb through their roots.

• A solid compound found in the soil.

• A gas released by animals during respiration.

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)

• The main energy-carrying molecule in cells, produced during cellular respiration.

• A type of protein that helps in muscle contraction.

• A carbohydrate that stores genetic information.

• A lipid that forms the cell membrane.

Food Web

• A simple chain of food producers and consumers.

• A complex network of interconnected food chains in an ecosystem.

• A diagram showing the energy flow in a single food chain.

• A representation of the population dynamics in an ecosystem.

Consumer

• An organism that produces its own food through photosynthesis.

• An organism that eats other organisms to obtain energy.

• An organism that decomposes organic material.

• An organism that relies solely on inorganic substances for energy.
