Type of Dependent Clause #1

Parts of speech, sentence type, sentence structure, independent and dependent clauses and capitalization and punctuation

Science Exam Parts of the Atom: The atom consists of a nucleus at its center, containing protons (positively charged) and neutrons (neutral), while electrons (negatively charged) orbit in electron shells around the nucleus. Atomic Number: The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in its nucleus. It defines the element and determines its place on the periodic table. Properties of Metals: Metals have properties like conductivity, malleability (can be flattened into sheets), and ductility (can be drawn into wires). Elements, Compounds, and Mixtures: Elements consist of only one type of atom. Compounds are made of two or more different elements chemically bonded. Mixtures are combinations of substances that are physically mixed but not chemically bonded. Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Mixtures: Homogeneous mixtures have a uniform composition (e.g., saltwater), while heterogeneous mixtures have different phases (e.g., oil and water). Changes of State: Changes like melting, evaporation, and condensation are examples of physical changes of state. Chemical and Physical Properties: Chemical properties describe how a substance can change to form a new substance, while physical properties are characteristics like color, texture, and state (solid, liquid, gas). Physical and Chemical Change: A physical change involves the appearance or state of matter, but the substance remains the same. A chemical change involves the formation of new substances. Chemical Equations: Chemical reactions can be represented with chemical equations that show reactants (what you start with) and products (what is formed). Chemical Formulas: Chemical formulas represent the composition of compounds. For example, NaHCO3 is sodium bicarbonate, consisting of one sodium (Na), one hydrogen (H), one carbon (C), and three oxygen (O) atoms. Energy: Types of Energy: Energy can be kinetic (related to motion), potential (stored energy), thermal (heat energy), electrical, chemical, and more. Units of Energy: Common units of energy include joules (J) and calories (cal). Law of Conservation of Energy: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed from one form to another. Energy Transfer and Transformation: Energy moves from one object to another, changing forms along the way. Useful and Waste Energy: Useful energy is what can be harnessed and used for a specific purpose. Waste energy is energy that is not used and is often lost. Energy Flow Diagrams: These diagrams show how energy is transferred or transformed within a system. Energy Efficiency: Efficiency is a measure of how much useful energy is obtained from a system. It can be calculated using the equation: Efficiency = (Useful Energy Output / Total Energy Input) x 100%. Fossil Fuels and Renewable Energy: Fossil fuels, like coal, oil, and natural gas, are non-renewable sources of energy. Renewable energy sources include solar, wind, and hydroelectric power. Variables: Independent Variable: The variable that is manipulated or changed in an experiment. Dependent Variable: The variable that is measured or observed and is affected by changes in the independent variable. Controlled Variables: Factors that are kept constant to ensure a fair and accurate experiment.

OSTEOBLASTS Mature osteoblasts located at bone tissue surfaces; end away from periosteum secretes organic bone matrix. Cuboidal or columnar looking Synthesize and deposit organic components of bone matrix composed of: Type I collagen Osteocalcin- a vitamin- K dependent polypeptide which binds Ca2+ Matrix vesicles rich in alkaline phosphatase which raises PO4- levels in the area. Has receptors for parathyroid hormone and release osteoclast stimulating factors (OSF)

Create a review game for 9th grade biology students using the following topics Levels of Organization in an ecosystem- population, community, ecosystem, biome, biosphere Abiotic and Biotic Factors Differences between Food chains and food webs Trophic Levels Producers vs Consumers, Autotrophs vs. Heterotrophs Effects of Greenhouse gases and their effects on global systems. Biome examples Photosynthesis vs cellular respiration Types of Consumers Ecological Pyramids 10% rule Cycles of Matter/ Nutrient Cycles- Water Cycle, Carbon Cycle, Nitrogen Cycle, Phosphorus Cycle (note on the diagrams… the bigger the arrow, the larger amount of matter that moves through the cycle from that point to the next. Macromolecules- Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, Nucleic Acids Nitrogen fixation Denitrification Eutrophication The usable form on nitrogen for plants is nitrate Population density and distribution-random, dispersed and clumped Birth rate and death rate Survivorship curves- Type I, II, and III Density dependent factors Density independent factors Exponential growth- J curve = unlimited resources, no limiting factors Logistical Growth-S curve= limiting factors, carrying capacity Symbiotic Relationships- Competition, predation, Herbivory, mutualism, parasitism, commensalism What is an invasive species? Why might countries limit certain species to coming into a new country or area? What is mycorrhizal? Succession- Primary vs Secondary Pioneer Species Climax community Biodiversity Climate change
