Macromolecules
This type of macromolecule primarily functions in fuel for organisms' metabolisms.
What is a carbohydrate?
What is a prokaryotic cell?
Type of lipid that functions in long-term, high energy storage and insulation
What is a fat/triglyceride?
An explanation of an observed phenomenon; an educated guess; testable
What is an hypothesis?
This system accomplishes transport of nutrients, gases, and wastes to and from every cell in the body.
What is the circulatory system?
This macromolecules has many functions: locomotion, structure, enzymatic reactions, animal immunity, and transport.
What is a protein?
Site of cellular respiration in eukaryotic cells
What is a mitochondrion?
Animals with respiratory systems breathe in order to acquire this requirement for cellular respiration.
What is oxygen?
Component of an experiment that can be manipulated; most important aspect of an experiment
What is a variable?
Body system responsible for nutrient acquisition and waste excretion
What is digestive system?
True or False? Macromolecules (carbon-backbone organic molecules) are a stable way for organisms to store large amounts of chemical energy.
What is TRUE?
Site of protein synthesis in all cells
What is a ribosome?
Primary product of photosynthesis; type of monosaccharide; reactant in cellular respiration
What is glucose?
Type of experiment in which participants do not know what treatment they are receiving, one which an active ingredient or a placebo; negates the placebo effect.
What is blinded?
This system functions in gas exchange, specifically it allows oxygen to enter and carbon dioxide to exit the blood.
What is the respiratory system?
This polysaccharide is a structural molecule for plants and the main component of the cell wall.
What is cellulose?
Provides support and structure as well as locomotion in most cell types
What is cytoskeleton?
Monomers/Subunits that peptide bond together to form proteins; animals must ingest "8 essential of the 20" as they cannot make them.
What is the amino acid?
Process by which scientific findings and publications are evaluated, typically by a third-party not involved in the work but happens to be an expert
What is peer-review?
Portion of the digestive system described as a tube that is continuous with the outside of the body which allows for ingestion, digestion, absorption, and elimination of food/waste.
What is the alimentary canal?
Type of macromolecule whose function is storage of genetic information and monomer is nucleotide
What are nucleic acids?
Four molecules make up the plasma membrane: phospholipid, cholesterol, glycoproteins, and ________
What is transmembrane or transport protein?
Molecule produced during cellular respiration; unstable and produced as needed
What is ATP?
Observation or data point of which there are few; may erroneously link phenomenon
What is anecdotal?
Absorption of nutrients occurs within this organ of the alimentary canal
What is the small intestine?
