A branch of science that deals with living organisms and their vital processes.
What is biology?
The first step of the scientific method.
What is observing and asking a question.
What is a monomer?
A substance that enables a chemical reaction to proceed at a usually faster rate or under different conditions (as at a lower temperature) than otherwise possible.
What is a catalyst?
It's simple, old, and not complex.
What is a prokaryotic cell?
Is made of 1 or more cells, grows and develops, displays levels of organization, has the ability to reproduce, adapts over time, responds to stimuli, maintains homeostasis, and requires energy.
What is a living organism?
An educated guess about how things work
What is a hypothesis?
The polymer of an amino acid.
What is a polypeptide?
Proteins that act as biological catalysts by accelerating chemical reactions.
What is an enzyme?
Stores food, water, and other material
What is a vacuole?
Venus flytraps demonstrate this behavior.
What is responding to a stimulus?
There are several strategies for collecting evidence, or data.
What is performing an experiment?
It's found in sugary drinks.
What are simple carbohydrates?
The chemical reaction that releases/creates a water molecule.
What is dehydration synthesis?
Stores and transports proteins.
What is rough endoplasmic reticulum?
A state of balance among all the body systems needed for the body to survive and function correctly.
What is homeostasis?
Scientists can decide whether the evidence clearly supports or does not support the hypothesis.
What is drawing conclusions and reporting findings?
A rigid straight or bent chain of molecules composed of carbons, hydrogens, and oxygens.
What is a lipid?
Enzymes catalyze reactions by doing this.
What is lowering the activation energy?
Stores proteins and lipids, assists in removing harmful bacteria
What is smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
Living organisms display this characteristic.
What is displaying organization?
Scientists look for patterns that show connections between important variables in the hypothesis they are testing.
What is analyzing data?
A protein folding into its 3D shape.
What is the tertiary structure of a protein?
The chemical reaction in which a molecule of water breaks one or more chemical bonds.
What is hydrolysis?
Created cell theory.
