Light to Cells Study Guide

1. Refer to the back of p. 14 in the binder. 2. Refraction of light causes the pencil to

appear bent. When light travels through a denser object, such as water, it slows down. This decrease in speed causes the object the light is shining on to appear bent.

4. Wave5. A yellow rose absorbs all colors except for yellow. Yellow is

the only color it reflects causing the rose to appear yellow.6. White light is made up of all the colors that make up visible

light (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo & violet).7. The more energy light has the short its wavelength and the

less energy light has the longer its wavelength. 8. The black car absorbs more of the sun’s energy (heat_ than

the white car. 9. Outer space is black because there is nothing to reflect

light.

cells. 2. Cells are the basic units of structure and function in all organisms. 3. All cells come from cells that already exists.

These relate to its function since it carries signals to the brain such as pain or temperature.
