    What is photosynthesis?

    Plants convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen.

    What are the reactants in photosynthesis?

    Water and carbon dioxide are combined using sunlight.

    What are the products of photosynthesis?

    Glucose and oxygen are produced.

    How does chlorophyll function in photosynthesis?

    It captures sunlight energy for the chemical reaction.

    What happens to thermal energy in a hot room when a window is opened?

    Thermal energy transfers from the warmer room to the cooler outside.

    What is the carbon cycle?

    A process where carbon atoms move through the environment via various processes.

    Fossil fuels cannot be replenished within a human timescale.

    What is the significance of load lines on ships?

    They indicate safe loading levels to prevent capsizing.

    What is density?

    The mass of an object divided by its volume.

    How can density predict whether an object will float?

    Objects less dense than water will float, while denser objects will sink.

    What distinguishes metals from non-metals?

    Metals are typically good conductors of heat and electricity, while non-metals are not.

    What is the role of microorganisms in ecosystems?

    What is the difference between a compound and a mixture?

    Compounds are chemically bonded, while mixtures are physically combined.

    What happens during a chemical reaction?

    Atoms rearrange to form new substances with different properties.

    What is the purpose of scientific enquiry?

    To investigate and understand natural phenomena through observation and experimentation.

    What is the significance of peer review in science?

    It ensures research quality and validity through collaborative scrutiny.
