Questions 5
Topics Atom, Genetic Type, Kinetic Energy, Proton, Water Cycle

Study Guide

Atom

An atom is the smallest component of an element that still retains the properties of the element.

Genetic Type

A person's genotype is their genetic makeup and includes both dominant and recessive alleles. Phenotype is how the genes express themselves in physical characteristics.

Kinetic Energy

Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by a moving object. Potential energy is stored energy in a stationary object based on its location, position, shape, or state.

Proton

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

Water Cycle

The water (hydrologic) cycle describes the movement of water from Earth through the atmosphere and back to Earth. The cycle starts when water evaporates into a gas from bodies of water like rivers, lakes and oceans or transpirates from the leaves of plants.
