Study Guide

Blood Cells

Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.

Moon

Tides are caused by the gravitational interaction of Earth and the Moon.

Proton

A proton is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries a positive electric charge.

Radiation

Radiation occurs when electromagnetic waves transmit heat. An example is the heat from the Sun as it travels to Earth.
