100
A type of cell without a nucleus
What is a Prokaryote?
100
The organelles that capture energy from the sunlight and use it to produce food for the cell
What are chloroplasts?
200
The variable that is measured during an experiment.
What is the dependent variable?
200
These molecules are used for Structure, Hormones, Enzymes, Energy Storage, and Transport
What is a Protein?
200
This is the general name for the process of molecules moving across a cell membrane.
What is the Diffusion?
200
A site in the cell where ribosomes are generated.
What is the nucleolus?
300
The experimental variable that is manipulated by the experimenter
What is the Independent Variable?
300
A lipid consisting of a single glycerol bound to two fatty acids and a phosphate group that makes up the Plasma Membrane
What is a Phospholipid?
300
The organelle that processes and transports proteins and other materials out of the cell
What is the Golgi Apparatus?
300
This type of vesicle is especially large in plant cells.
What is a vacuole?
400
The unchanging variable(s) that is used to eliminate bias and allows the relationship between the other variables being tested to be better understood
What is a Control Variable/Experimental Constant?
400
When an enzyme's activity is stopped or slowed down by a product of its own metabolic pathway.
What is feedback inhibition?
400
network of protein filaments within some cells that helps the cell maintain its shape and is involved in many forms of cell movement.
What is the Cytoskeleton?
400
These structures contain hydrolytic enzymes.
What are lysosomes?
500
A biologist predicts that catalase enzyme placed in boiling water will show a slower reaction rate. This would be the control group used in the experiment.
What is catalase enzyme placed in room temperature water.
500
A molecule that has a similar shape as the substrate and can also bind to the active site of the substrate, blocking the activity of the enzyme
What is a Competitive Inhibitor?
500
These structures are found in all kinds of cells and are responsible for synthesizing proteins.
What are ribosomes?
500
This is the name of the scientific explanation for how mitochondria and chloroplasts became integrated into eukaryotic cells.
