Study Notes
Wind and Atmospheric Movements
- Trade winds travel air masses from the west to the east.
- Jet streams move air from the Pacific Ocean across the United States.
- Gulf Stream influences air mass movement from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean.
Organisms and Biological Systems
- Amoeba is an example of a single-celled organism.
- Multicellular organisms require transport systems for gas exchange, nutrient supply, and energy needs.
Cardiovascular System Functions
- The cardiovascular system transports gases throughout the body and plays a major role in waste elimination.
Nervous System Function
- The nervous system sends electrical signals coordinating the activities of all other body systems.
Ecosystems and Organism Roles
- Grass is classified as a producer in ecosystems.
- Bacteria play a crucial role in recycling dead plants and animals.
Population Impact and Adaptation
- Housing developments can reduce food availability for woodpecker populations.
- Traits like height and intelligence can be inherited, while scars are not inherited characteristics.
Motion and Speed
- A ball thrown upward experiences varying speeds: slowing down as it rises, stopping, and speeding up as it descends.
- Increasing speed of a moving object is accomplished by a force acting in the same direction.
Physics of Objects
- The mass of launched objects affects their speed; lighter objects like paper clips will generally move faster when the same force is applied.
- Evaporation is responsible for the disappearance of water puddles after rainfall.
Chemical Solutions
- Combining 10 grams of water with 5 grams of salt results in 15 grams of saltwater.
Heat Transfer
- Heat from a campfire is transferred to nearby people via air conduction, allowing them to feel warmth without direct contact.
Human Body Systems
- The digestive system includes structures like the esophagus, stomach, and intestines.
Ecosystem Dynamics
- A drop in eagle populations could lead to overpopulation of snakes, disrupting the ecosystem balance.
Inheritance of Traits
- Offspring inherit traits from both parents, including physical attributes like freckles and eye color.
Environmental Changes
- Rising Pacific Ocean temperatures can cause west U.S. droughts and flooding in South America, often linked to El Niño phenomena.
Unicellular vs. Multicellular
- To determine whether an organism is unicellular or multicellular, one should assess the number of cell types present.
Digestive Process
- The digestive system processes food into energy.
Decomposers
- Mushrooms serve as an example of decomposers in the ecosystem.
Human Impact on Wildlife
- Beach development contributes to sea turtle population decline primarily through habitat loss.
