Experimental Design
The variable that the scientists changes to explore its impact.
What is the independent variable?
The molecule(s) that can bind to an enzyme
What is/are the substrate(s)?
The types of macromolecules
What are lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids?
The monomer of a protein?
What is an amino acid?
The longest phase of the cell cycle in somatic cells
What is interphase?
The variable measured in the experiment?
What is the dependent variable?
This is the area on an enzyme where the substrate binds
What is the active site?
The monomer of a carbohydrate
What is a monosacharide?
The part of an amino acid that makes one amino acid different from the other.
What is the R group?
The phase where DNA replicates
What is the S phase?
The variable(s) that stay the same in all trials of the experiments.
What are the constants?
The proteins that speed up chemical reactions in living organisms by reducing the activation energy.
The monomer of a nucleic acid
What is a nucleotide?
The process by which water is added to break down a protein.
What is hydrolysis?
The phases of mitosis
What are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase?
The variable that is run for comparison by removing the independent variable.
What is the control variable?
This is the result of proteins when they are exposed to extreme heat or a pH that is extremely outside its optimal pH.
What is a denatured protein?
The two types of nucleic acids
What are RNA and DNA?
The proteins needed for polar, ionic and large molecules to move through membranes
What are transport proteins?
The result of mitosis (number, type, ploidy)
What are two identical diploid cells?
The variable that is plotted on the y-axis
What is the dependent variable?
The enzyme that is responsible for copying DNA in DNA replication
What is DNA polymerase?
The general name given to a molecules that is a collection of monomers being put together to make larger molecules.
What is a polymer?
The process by which water is removed in order to make larger molecules like proteins
What is dehydration synthesis?
The reason cells need to make identical copies.
What is for repair and growth?
