2 Facts/Examples/NonExample
characteristics Definition Facts/Examples/NonExample Collection of traits that form the way an organism looks We inherit our traits from our parents So do other organisms 50% from each parent organism EX: hair color, body shape, skin color NONEX: acquired traits such as playing a musical instrument Memory Pictograph

3 Facts/Examples/NonExample
chemical change Definition Facts/Examples/NonExample Change in a substance that produces a new type of substance with new chemical properites Happens because of chemical reactions Chemical bonds are broken and/ or new bonds are formed Cannot be reversed – new substances formed EX: fire, rust, baking soda & vinegar NONEX: physical change such as change in size by cutting paper or wood Memory Pictograph

4 Facts/Examples/NonExample
chemical weathering Definition Facts/Examples/NonExample Process by which rocks are broken down by chemical changes Man-made or natural Dissolves rocks Acids do most of the weathering and erode the surface of the rocks EX: acid rain NONEX: rocks eroded by wind or frost action which are both mechanical weathering Memory Pictograph Acid rain wears down surface by chemical action

5 Facts/Examples/NonExample
chlorophyll Definition Facts/Examples/NonExample Chemical that is used by plants during photosynthesis Gives plants their green color In chloroplasts of plant cells Allows plants to produce their own food EX: all plants NONEX: animals do not produce their own food Memory Pictograph

6 Facts/Examples/NonExample
chromosome Definition Facts/Examples/NonExample Humans have 46 chromosomes 23 chromosomes from each parent “blueprint” of how to build (or repair) a particular organism EX: eukaryotes have chromosomes in the nucleus of the cell NONEX: prokaryotes have DNA but not inside of a nucleus (prokaryotes do not have a nucleus) made of strands of DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms Memory Pictograph

7 Facts/Examples/NonExample
climax community Definition Facts/Examples/NonExample Last step of a natural process called succession Takes a long time Lake dries up, becomes a wetland, then a meadow, then shrubs, then trees then forest Can stay as a forest for many years EX: U of M Dearborn hiking area is a beech-maple climax community NONEX: people cut down all the trees and change natural pattern Memory Pictograph
