The Scientific Method
Making an educated, testable guess that predicts the answer to your question is an example of which step of the scientific method?
Which type of cells are multicellular, have a nucleus, and have membrane-bound organelles?
What are Eukaryotic Cells
What type of transport requires no energy and moves things from high to low concentration?
What is Passive Transport
What receives a message from another cell?
What is a Receptor?
This type of cell transmits electrical and chemical signals throughout the body to coordinate actions and process information.
What are Neurons
Designing and performing a controlled test to see if your hypothesis is correct is an example of which step of the scientific method?
What is Conducting an Experiment
What type of cell is unicellular, has no nucleus, and has no membrane-bound organelles?
What are Prokaryotic Cells
What type of transport moves things from low to high concentration and requires energy?
Active Transport
What is released in order to communicate with other cells?
What is a Ligan
This part of the nervous system receives sensory information, processes it, and sends out instructions to control thoughts, movements, and bodily functions.
What is the Central Nervous System
A very reliable but not infallible way of reviewing research done by other scientists with knowledge in the same field.
What is Peer Reviewing
What part of the cell controls what goes in and out of the cell, is composed of a phospholipid bilayer, and helps maintain homeostasis within the cell?
What is the Cell Membrane
What type of passive transport moves water from high to low concentration?
What is Osmosis
What type of ligand is sent to a cell's self as a type of signaling?
What is Autocrine signaling?
This type of nervous system controls unconscious, automatic functions like heart rate, breathing, and digestion.
What is the Autonomic Nervous System
Noticing something in your surroundings and gathering initial facts using your senses is an example of which step of the scientific method?
What is an Observation
What are 3 things that both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms have in common?
What is DNA
What are Ribosomes
What is Cytoplasm
What is the Cell Membrane
What are Cell Walls
What type of protein moves large molecules during facilitated diffusion? It is only open on one side at a time.
What are Carrier Proteins
What is Gap Junctions
This part of the neuron carries the electrical signal from the soma to the other cells.
What is the Axon
How many Peer Reviewers are there, not including the editors, before a paper gets published?
What is 3 Peer Reviewers
What part of the phospholipid is Non-polar and hydrophobic
What is the Phospholipid Tail
What type of active transport uses energy from the chemical gradient?
What is Secondary Active Transport
What is a specialized protein that acts as a biological catalyst to speed up chemical reactions?
What is an Enzyme
This type of potential is the critical voltage level that a cell membrane must reach to trigger an action potential. It causes the voltage gated NA gates to open.
What is Threshold Potential
