Intro to Biology
Also known as Hypothesis-Driven Science, this method is used for experimentation design.
What is the Scientific Method?
Formed from long chains of individual monomers, these are the most complex carbohydrates, featuring cellulose, starch, and amylopectin.
What is a polysaccharide?
This organelle is responsible for protecting DNA and genetic information.
What is the nucleus?
All chemical reactions that take place within a cell; can be further divided into anabolic and catabolic reactions.
What is metabolism?
Humans have this many chromosomes.
What is 46?
These are concepts that are broadly accepted and researched, having yet to be proven false with current findings.
What is a theory?
This is the process in which molecules are bonded together.
What is dehydration synthesis?
Producing ATP, this organelle is known as the "Powerhouse of the cell", contributing to the cell's energy production.
What is the mitochondria?
Enzymes take on this shape, acting as the lock portion, to fit a substrate more securely.
What is the Induced-Fit Model?
The cell cycle is comprised of 10% actual cell division, and 90% of the prep work needed, in the form of these three subphases in interphase.
What are:
G1 (Gap 1)
S (DNA Synthesis)
G2 (Gap 2)
Experiments consist of a dependent variable being measured, an independent variable being manipulated, and this group, most often used for a standard of comparison.
What is a Control Group?
This substance increases the hydrogen ion (H+) concentration of a solution.
What is an acid?
These smaller organelles take on the role of digesting damaged organelles, macromolecules, and foreign bodies.
What are lysosomes?
Used as a rechargeable battery, produced in the mitochondria, this molecule is responsible for energy in the cell.
What is ATP (Adenosine triphosphate)?
DNA is divided and interpreted in this three step process.
What is:
Replication
Transcription
Translation
Known as natural phenomenon which has incomplete scientific explanation.
What is a Law in science?
These bonds, which exist between hydrogen and electronegative atom, also contribute to polarity.
What are hydrogen bonds?
Containing smaller subunits like the stomata, thylakoids, and chlorophyll.
What are chloroplasts?
These are the three stages of Cellular Respiration.
What are:
Glycolysis
Krebs/ Citric Acid Cycle
Oxidative Phosphorylation/ Electron Transport Chain/ Chemiosmosis
Meiosis doesn't deal with somatic cells, but rather these types of cells, one gained from the father and one from the mother.
What are gametes?
Male - sperm, female - egg
Name three of the seven properties associated with life.
What are:
1.Order
2.Regulation
3.Growth and Development
4.Energy Processing
5.Response to the Environment
6.Reproduction
7.Evolution
These four elements make up the backbone for most biological functions, hence the name THE BIG FOUR.
What are Oxygen, Carbon, Hydrogen, and Nitrogen?
Alcohol metabolism and medication detoxification are some of the roles of this organelle.
What is the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)?
This process is the phenomenon of producing ATP without oxygen, albeit not as effectively, and may give off byproducts like lactic acid and ethyl alcohol.
What is fermentation?
During mitosis, these structures extend from the centrosomes to connect to the centromeres of sister chromatids in preparation for final division.
What is the mitotic spindle(s)?
