Chapter 1
The variable that is measured during an experiment.
What is the dependent variable?
An atom that has gained or lost an electron.
What is an ion.
The organelle that stores DNA.
Normal cell growth and functions occur during these stages of the cell cycle.
What are G1 and G2 phases of Interphase?
The variable(s) that must remain the same during an experiment.
What are control variables?
Carbon dioxide is categorized as this.
What is a molecule or compound?
Prokaryotic cells do NOT have these.
What are membrane-bound organelles.
The light independent reactions take place here.
What is the stroma of the chloroplast?
The sister chromatids are being pulled apart during this stage of Mitosis.
What is anaphase?
The group that the experimental group is compared to.
What is a control group?
An activated ice pack is this type of chemical reaction.
What is endothermic?
The organelle that packages, sorts, and delivers proteins.
What is the Golgi apparatus?
The reactants of cellular respiration.
Types of external signaling factors ( list 2).
What are hormones/physical & chemical signals/growth factors?
The four characteristics of life.
1. Made of cells
2. Response to environment
3. Need for energy (metabolism)
4. Reproduction and Development (genetic material)
This is the only macromolecule that does not have true monomers or polymers.
What are lipids?
What is the cytoskeleton?
What is glycolysis.
These are the steps of Mitosis in order.
What is
1. Prophase
2. Metaphase
3. Anaphase
4. Telophase
The four themes of biology.
1. Systems of life
2. Structure determines function
3. Evolution
4. Homeostasis
Three properties of water.
1. High specific heat
2. Adhesion
3. Cohesion
The three aspects of Cell Theory.
What are
1. all cells come from existing cells
2. all organisms are made of cells
3. cells are the most basic unit of life
The main purposes of the light dependent AND light independent reactions.
What are absorbing energy from the sun AND using energy to make glucose/sugar?
These phases of the cell cycle have a checkpoint to ensure for accuracy during cell division.
What are the G1, G2, and the M phases.
