100
In a scientific experiment, this is used to give reliable baseline data to compare variable results with.
What is the control.
100
This is a type of cell that contains a nucleus.
What is a eukaryotic cell.
100
This means with oxygen.
What is aerobic.
100
This is the smallest component of an element having the same chemical properties of the element, consisting of a nucleus containing combinations of neutrons and protons and one or more electrons bound to the nucleus by electrical attraction. The number of protons determines the identity of the element.
What is an atom.
100
This is the copying process by which a cell duplicates its DNA.
What is Replication.
200
In a scientific experiment, this is the factor that is changed in order to test a hypothesis.
What is the independent variable.
200
This is the name for the specialized part of a cell that has a specific function. Also, sometimes called a cell organ.
What is an organelle.
200
This means without oxygen
What is anaerobic.
200
This is a molecule made of atoms from different elements.
What is a compound.
200
This is the process in which part of the nucleotide sequence of DNA is copied into a complimentary sequence in RNA.
What is Transcription.
300
This is a proposed explanation that is based upon limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation.
What is a hypothesis.
300
This is a type of cell that does not have a nucleus.
What is a prokaryotic cell.
300
The process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen.
What is cellular respiration.
300
This is a type of chemical bind that involves the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.
What is an Ionic bond.
300
This is the decoding of a mRNA message into a polypeptide chain.
What is Translation.
400
This is the process of evaluation of a person's work or performance by a group of people in the same occupation, profession or industry.
What is peer review.
400
This is the net passive movement of particles (atoms, ions, or molecules) from a region in which they are in higher concentration to regions of lower concentration. It continues until the concentration of the substances is uniform throughout.
What is diffusion.
400
This is a process that releases energy from food molecules by producing ATP in an anaerobic environment. There are two types of this process; alcoholic and lactic acid.
What is fermentation.
400
This is a type of chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms.
What is a Covalent bond.
400
This is an enzyme involved in DNA replication that joins individual nucleotides to produce a DNA molecule.
What is DNA polymerase.
500
In an experiment this is the measurement of the expected change when the independent variable is changed.
What is dependent variable.
500
The movement of ions or molecules across a cell membrane in the direction opposite that of diffusion, that is, from an area of lower concentration to one of higher concentration. Movement requires the assistance of a type of protein called a carrier protein, using energy supplied by ATP.
What is Active Transport.
500
This is the carbohydrate with the chemical formula C6H12O6. It is used as a source of energy in living things.
What is glucose.
500
This is a biological molecule (protein) that acts as catalyst and helps complex reactions occur everywhere in life.
What is an enzyme.
500
This is a three nucleotide sequence on messenger RNA that codes for a single amino acid.
What is a Codon.
