STAAR CARDS 1 ST 9 WEEKS
CARD 1 1. Hypothesis = is a specific, testable prediction about what you expect to happen in your study. – Theory = is a well-established principle that has been developed to explain some aspect of the natural world. Arises from repeated observations. 2. Independent = variable you are changing/experimenting with Dependent = responding variable due to change. DRY = Dependent, Resonse, Y Axis MIX = Manipulated, Independent, X-axis 3. Graduated Cylinder
CARD 2 4.Quick Term Energy, CHO 5. A. 2B. 2 sugarsC. Polymer 6.long-term energy, CHO
CARD 3 7.contains genetic code for an organisms’s traits (AKA proteins). CHONP 8. Makes up the function and structure of an organism’s body, CHON
CARD 4 9. PRO means NO nucleus or membrane bound organelles (MBO), Eukaryotes are larger and have a nucleus and MBO All living things are made of cells 2. Cells are the basic unit of life 3. Cells come from pre-existing cells 11. Cell Wall, Chloroplast, & Central Vacuole 12. DNA, Cell Membrane, Cytoplasm, & Ribosomes
CARD Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up reactions in our bodies. Ex. Breaking down food
CARD A. Both benefit B. One benefits and one is unaffected C. One benefits and one is harmed D. Predator hunts prey E. Organisms fight for same limited resources 16. Arrow points to where energy is going. Grass grasshopper Mouse Snake Energy is decreasing as we move up, 90% is lost as heat and only 10% passed on per trophic level.
CARD Abiotic = non-living (sun) Biotic = living (tree) 18. observed process of change in the species structure of an ecological community over time. 19. Primary starts with rock & Secondary starts with soil (caused by fires/natural disasters, plowing, deforestation, etc.)
CARD Gases are being trapped in Earth’s atmosphere due to increase output of CO2 in carbon cycle. This is increasing atmospheric temperatures in globe, changing weather patterns. 21.
21. CONTINUED Nitrogen Cycle:
