Study of life
Biology
an organelle that contains most of the cell's genetic material. It also regulates cell growth and metabolism
Nucleus
macromolecules made up of DNA, protein and RNA
Chromatin
Cells power plant
Mitochondria
Plasma Membrane
Contains enzymes that break down biomolecules. They act as the cell's waste disposal
Lysosomes
contains enzymes that break down biomolecules. Acts as the cell's waste disposal
Lysosomes
an individual living thing
Organism
Made up of protein and RNA They convert genetic material into protein
Ribosomes
basic unit of life
cell
Help with cytokinesis (the splitting of a cell)
Centrioles
gives the cell it's shape and prevents it from deforming
cytoskeleton
molecule that stores all genetic information in all organisms
DNA
substance made of only one type of atom that can't be broken down by chemical means
element
Substance made of atoms of different elements that are bonded together in a particular ratio
compound
basic unit of matter
atom
Made up of a gel like substance and is 80% water
Cytoplasm
2. Measurable effect, outcome or response in which the research is interested
3. variable that does not change
Independent variable
dependant variable
constant
Physical environment with different species that interact with one another and with non living things
ecosystem
2 or more atoms held together by covalent bonds
Molecule
2. chemical bond formed when 2 atoms share one or more pairs of electrons
3. attraction between a slightly positive hydrogeng atom and a slightly negative atom
Ionic bond
Covalent bond
hydrogen bond
Made up of RNA and proteins. Transcribes and modifies RNA
nucleolus
attraction between molecules of the same substance
Cohesion
attraction between molecules of different substances
Adhesion
Compound that donates a proton (h+) when dissolved in a solution
acid
