STUDY TERMS FOR EXAM #1 BIO-102-001 Spring 2010(Gleeson) This is a list of terms I will assume you understand, by “understand” I mean understand what they are in terms of the lecture material (e.g., that methane is a greenhouse gas thought to be present in early atmosphere as well as now, NOT what its chemical formula is, etc. since that was not discussed). It does NOT cover BioNews. This list may be helpful in gauging the level of detail I am expecting you master. I’ve found that much of the material is embodied in a list of terms, since the terms exist in order to refer to the underlying concepts. This approach can help you focus in on the material that you don’t already know – the key to improving your performance most with the least effort. GEOLOGY (& intro) Natural capital, natural resources, natural services, natural capital degradation, sustainability, recycling Scientific method, hypothesis, experiment, knowledge Falsification, transcendent, consistency Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Geology, “way of ignorance” Formation of the solar system, earth Core, Mantle, Crust, elements Proton, neutron, electron, charge Water vapor, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, ammonia, methane, oxygen, nitrogen Crust, continental, oceanic Lithosphere, Asthenosphere, convection cells Tectonic plates, continental drift Divergent plates, trench, convergent plates, subduction, transform fault Volcano, magma, hot spot Earthquake, New Madrid, tsunami Rock cycle, mineral, weathering, erosion, transport, deposition Igneous, Sedimentary, Metamorphic Limestone, shale, sandstone, marble, quartz, slate CLIMATE Atmosphere, hydrosphere Surface temperature Energy, kinetic energy, potential energy Nuclear fusion, electromagnetic waves, photon, wavelength EM waves - Gamma, X, UV, visible, infrared, micro, radio Peak intensity, total energy, energy density, solar constant Dynamic equilibrium, input, output, Reflectance, absorption, re-radiation, greenhouse effect Ice age, sea level Feedback loops, negative feedback, positive feedback, homeostatic Poles, hemisphere, latitude Trade winds, convection cells, Hadley cells Convection, conduction, radiation Topography, altitude, rain shadow Weather, front, warm front, cold front, tornado, hurricane Hydrologic cycle, ground water, evaporation Linkage, energy flow, material cycle BIOSPHERE Percent composition of the atmosphere, CO2, O2, N2 Green slime, photosynthesis, biosphere, carbon monoxide Aerobic metabolism, respiration, ozone Cell, multicellular, biochemical pathway, Element, molecule, reaction, reactant, product Exergonic, endergonic, biosynthesis Resources, ultimate, immediate, organic molecules, glucose Pigment, chlorophyll, carbon fixation
