Scientific Process
This is the information gathered from observations.
What is data?
This is the measurement system scientists use when collecting data and performing experiments.
What is the metric system?
These are the subatomic particles that make up atoms.
What are protons, neutrons, and electrons?
This is the powerhouse of the cell.
What is the mitochondria?
These form estuaries.
Fresh water and salt water meeting.
This is what scientific thinking usually starts with.
What is observations?
This type of microscope uses beams of electrons, rather than light, to produce images.
What is an electron microscope?
Strong forces that bind together protons and neutrons to form this.
What is the nucleus?
This organelle makes proteins.
What are ribosomes?
This is where lipid components of the cell membrane are assembled, along with proteins and other materials that are exported from the cell.
What is the endoplasmic reticulum?
This is the word that applies to a well tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations.
What is a theory?
What is a cell culture?
Do isotopes have the same chemical properties?
Yes, because they have the same number of electrons.
This organelle gets rid of waste.
What are lysosomes?
This is how many biomes that ecologists recognize.
What are ten biomes?
tropical rain forest, tropical dry forest, tropical savanna, desert, temperate grassland, temperate woodland and shrubland, temperate forest, northwestern coniferous forest, boreal forest, and the tundra.
This type of reproduction consists of only one parent.
What is asexual reproduction?
Name some common metric units.
What is length, mass, volume, and temperature?
What is the mass number?
This organelle controls what gets in or out of the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
What are flowing-water ecosystems and standing-water ecosystems?
This is the name scholars gave to the idea that life could arise from non-living things.
What is spontaneous regeneration?
What is cell fractionation?
This is formed by the chemical combination of two or more elements in definite proportions.
This organelle ships proteins around the cell body.
What is the golgi body?
These are the three zones that the ocean is divided into.
