Final Jeopardy

2. Student Expectations
6.9 C
Demonstrate energy transformations such as the energy in a flashlight battery changes from chemical energy to electrical energy to light energy. (Supporting Standard)
6.12 D
Identify the basic characteristics of organisms, including prokaryotic or eukaryotic, unicellular or multicellular, autotrophic or heterotrophic, and mode of reproduction, that further classify them in the currently recognized Kingdoms. (Supporting Standard)
7.5 A
Recognize that radiant energy from the Sun is transformed into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis.
7.7
Demonstrate and illustrate forces that affect motion in everyday life such as emergence of seedlings, turgor pressure, and geotropism.
7.11
Examine organisms or their structures such as insects or leaves and use dichotomous keys for identification. (Supporting Standard)
7.13
Investigate how organisms respond to external stimuli found in the environment such as phototropism and fight or flight. B
Describe and relate responses in organisms that may result from internal stimuli such as wilting in plants and fever or vomiting in animals that allow them to maintain balance.

3. A-100 ANSWER: energy transformation is shown in the diagram
QUESTION: What is heat (thermal energy) to mechanical energy?

4. A-200
ANSWER:
QUESTION : What type of energy transformation occurs during the process shown above?

5. A-300
ANSWER: Energy is neither created nor destroyed; it changes from one form to another.
QUESTION: What is the “law of the conservation of energy”?

6. A-400 ANSWER: type of energy transformation occurs with a flashlight
QUESTION: What is chemical to electrical to light energy

7. A-500
ANSWER: the energy transformation that occurs in a remote control car that has a battery.
QUESTION:
chemical electrical kinetic energy

8. B-100
ANSWER: The process by which radiant energy from the Sun is transformed into chemical energy in plants
QUESTION: What is photosynthesis?

9. B-200
ANSWER: A pigment that makes the leaves of plants green in color.
QUESTION: What is chorophyll?

10. B-300 ANSWER: carbon dioxide, water, and radiant energy from the sun
QUESTION: What are the raw materials or reactants in the chemical formula for photosynthesis?

11. B-400 ANSWER: Glucose and oxygen
QUESTION: What are the “end products” of photosynthesis?

12. B-500
ANSWER: Chemical energy is stored in this form during photosynthesis
QUESTION: What is glucose(sugar)?

13. C-100
ANSWER: This is the force or pressure that water within the cytoplasm exerts on the cell wall, pushing the plant stem outwards.
QUESTION: What is the “turgor pressure”?

14. C-200 ANSWER: This is a plants response to light
QUESTION: What is phototropism

15. C-300 ANSWER: It caused the plant, shown, to wilt
QUESTION: A decrease in turgor pressure

16. C-400
ANSWER: Plants recognize this force even when turned and will grow their stems upward and their roots downward.
QUESTION: What is “gravity”?

17. C-500 ANSWER: Is another term for “geotropism”.
QUESTION: What is “gravitropism”?

18. D-100

QUESTION: What is a “stimulus”?

24. E-300 ANSWER: Balance or equilibrium within an organism
QUESTION: What is “homeostasis”?

25. E-400
ANSWER: When pathogens like bacteria or virus invade humans, the body responds by releasing chemicals to raise the core body temperature, causing a fever. This is an example of the body responding to…
QUESTION: What is an “internal stimulus?

26. E-500
ANSWER: An animal may respond to an external stimulus, such as the presence of a predator by becoming aggressive or running away.
QUESTION: What is the “fight or flight” response?
