What is a Cosmic Ray?
A Cosmic ray detects extremely energetic particles in radiation feilds
What is a High Gain Antenna?
A high frequency radio antenna that sends data to earth.
Carbon Dioxide + A+ Light = b+ oxygen
A: Water B Glucose
What is a form of measurement used to measure the distance between celestial bodies in space?
AU + Light years
Other than distance from the sun, which factor affects the temperature of a planet?
Atmosphere.
Why are planets almost spherical in shape?
Because a planets gravity pulls equally from all sides.

A student made the following observations about astronomical bodies. Observation 1: Mars reverses its direction of motion in the sky. Observation 2: The stars appear brighter at different times of the year. Which observation(s) can be explained using the heliocentric model? Only observation 1 Only observation 2 Both observation 1 and observation 2 Neither observation 1 nor observation 2
Both observation 1 and observation 2.
During which of the following processes would carbon most likely be released? Burning of coal Formation of natural gas Formation of shells Photosynthesis
Burning of Coal
What is released during cellular respiration?
Carbon Dioxide
What is cellular respiration?
Cellular respiration is a metabolic process in all living organisms, that converts glucose to energy. Carbon is conserved during cellular respiration in this way, first, the carbon is made through the combination of glucose, carbon, and oxygen, where it stay until it reaches the mitochondria. Then in the mitochondria when the glucose is reacting and becoming an energy molecule the carbon dioxide " detaches" and, depending on the organism is either used or disposed of. All the while you need to keep in mind the carbon is still retaining its mass though it became carbon dioxide. That is how the mass of carbon is conserved during cellular respiration.
What type of energy transformation takes place when carbon is cycled as animals sweat from movement? (5 points) Thermal energy to thermal energy Chemical energy to chemical energy Chemical energy to thermal energy Mechanical energy to chemical energy
Chemical energy to thermal energy
Part 1: Describe the mass and the surface temperature of dwarf stars. Part 2: Explain using complete sentences where on the HR diagram you would expect to find a dwarf star based on its physical properties.
Dawrf stars have a small amount of mass but have a high surface temperature. On an HR diagram, you would most likely find draw stars on the lower half within the negative Absolute Brightness scale, and it would be far to the left because they are very hot.
Which part of both the geocentric and the heliocentric model were the exact same?
Everything orbited in perfect circles.
True : False The product of the reactants does not have the same mass as the reactants
False
Which of the following waves have the shortest wavelengths? Gamma rays Radio waves Ultraviolet waves X-rays
