SCIENTIFIC METHOD
Which tool is used in order to find the MASS of an object?
What is a triple beam balance
What is the smallest living functional unit called?
cell
This organelle is selectively-permeable and controls what enters and exits a cell
cell membrane
The regular sequence of events in which the cell grows, prepares for division, and divides into two daughter cells
cell cycle
sun and glucose
Which term BEST describes the factor in an experiment that the scientist changes or manipulates?
What is an independent variable
microscope
In this process, substances move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration
diffusion
The first stage of the cell cycle before cell division begins
Interphase
what is the chemical equation for photosynthesis
light + CO2 + H2O --> glucose + O2
Ask a question, State a Hypothesis, Plan the Experiment (variables), gather data, analyze data and draw a conclusion.
What are the steps of the Scientific Method
The principles of the cell theory state that all new cells are...
produced from existing cells
The diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane
osmosis
The process where the cell makes a copy of the DNA is called
replication
This organism is able to produce its own food
autotroph
How many independent variables should there be when testing a hypothesis?
one
One of many structures found inside a cell
organelle
The cell membrane takes particles into the cell
endocytosis
List the phases of mitosis
(interphase) prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, (cytokinesis), daughter cells
This type of organism depends on other organisms for food
heterotroph
You want to know how different types of sugars affect the color of the cake (darker or lighter). What is the dependent variable and the independent variable.
Independent = types of sugar
Dependent = color of the cake
cell wall
In this process, cells remove content from the cell
exocytosis
After the completion of mitosis, two new ______________ form
daughter cells
Oxygen and glucose undergo a complex series of chemical reactions inside cells, releasing energy
cellular respiration
