What is the title of a person who tries to make sense of the world using evidence?
s____________________
SCIENTIST
What is the name of the system of measurement that scientists use? Give one example
Metric System or S.I. units
meters, centimeters, kilograms, liters, milliliters, etc
What special equipment was invented and revolutionized biology? from our vocab
MICROSCOPE
This SMALL molecule is essential for life, and wherever you find it (in liquid form) on Earth, you will find a living organism.
WATER
This is a person who studies the science of living things.
b______________
BIOLOGIST
What is it called when you put fluid in a petri dish and grow something in it (from Chapter 1?)
CELL CULTURE
Name at least three parts of the SCIENTIFIC METHOD
Observation, Research,
Hypothesis, Experiment, Data Collection, Conclusion, Share Results
This medium sized molecule is the building block for larger COMPLEX CARBOHYDRATES
This is one of the things Mr. Thompson used to research.
MAD COW DISEASE
CANCER DRUGS
What are the two types of ways that living things create copies of themselves? (I'm looking for two vocab terms)
SEXUAL and ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
Name at least 3 things that all living things require to be alive (as far as we know).
Name one of the two very common polymer carbohydrates that we studied so far in our class.
STARCH
or
CELLULOSE:
BONUS for 100: What is the monomer?
Name the person who the book says started the process to disprove spontaneous generation.
What is the fancy word that means to maintain a stable internal environment?
h____________
give THREE examples for humans and what happens if it is not maintained
HOMEOSTASIS
oxygen = lack of would be pass out, death
water = lack of is dehydration, death, too much can also be dangerous, kidneys filter out excess
temperature = must be close to 98 F (37 C), too much causes heat stroke or death, too cold causes hypothermia and possibly death
energy = must eat food to get necessary energy and vitamins, minerals, and other atoms to maintain our body
Explain Redi's experiment to disprove spontaneous generation.
Raw meat, flies, jars, lids, cloth, eggs, etc
This macromolecule essential to all life as we know it carries the information from generation to generation.
NUCLEIC ACIDS
will accept DNA/RNA
Name the person who is credited with finally disproving spontaneous generation by using specialized blown glass equipment.
LOUIS PASTEUR
Explain how and why we discussed ISOTOPES and where they were used in this class.
Carbon 14 is an unstable isotope with a half life of 5700 years, it can be used to figure out how old things are that were once alive and we have a fragment of its formerly living body, for example OTZI the Iceman, King Richard III, any archaeological dig
Food in mouth releases saliva
Bread has STARCH in it, which is too large of a MACROMOLECULE for our cells to use, so it must be broken down into its MONOMER GLUCOSE first, which is done by an enzyme called AMYLASE which is extant in both saliva and in the small intestines.
This MACROMOLECULE is a polymer of amino acids all linked together.
