This is considered the "best" source of scientific information to use while conducting background research.

What is a Scientific Journal?

The concentration of glucose must be maintained within a fairly narrow range in most vertebrates. This statement is an example of this.
What is homeostasis?
100
A cell with numerous ribosomes is probably specialized for this task.
What is protein synthesis? (or, making proteins)
100
In a replicating strand of DNA that reads TCA.GTC, the daughter strand produced would look like this.
What is AGT.CAG?
100

These two taxonomic names make up a scientific name.

What is Genus + Species?

200

This part of an experiment is what the researcher changes intentionally. It is the part that is being tested.

What is the Independent Variable?

200
This macromolecule is a prominent part of animal tissues, which functions in insulation, helping animals conserve heat.
What is lipid?
200
These types of cells do NOT have a nucleus or other membrane-bound organelles.
What are prokaryotic cells?
200

Amino acids link together by peptide bonds to form proteins. This cellular process occurs at which organelle?

What is the ribosome?

200

This theory suggests that organisms with the best adaptations are able to survive and reproduce, passing on their beneficial traits to the next generation.

What is the Theory of Natural Selection? (or, survival of the fittest)

300
A scientist designed an experiment to test the effect of temperature on bacterial growth. He grew three different cultures of the bacterium E. coli under three heat lamps at different temperatures. In this experiment, the bacterial growth is this.
What is the Dependent Variable?
300

This substance ranges between 0-6.9 on the pH scale, and includes things like orange juice, lemonade, and coffee.

What is acid?

300
This organelle is responsible for repackaging proteins into forms the cell can use, expel, or keep stored.
What is the Golgi?
300
This molecule is responsible for carrying DNA's message from the nucleus to the ribosome.
What is mRNA? (or, messenger RNA)
300

This type of succession occurs when a volcano erupts and soil has to be formed before organisms can begin to recolonize the area.

What is Primary Succession?

400
A scientist designed an experiment to test the effect of temperature on bacterial growth. He grew three different types of bacteria under three heat lamps at different temperatures. The source of error in this experiment is this.
What is too many uncontrolled variables? (there should only be one independent variable)
400

These substances speed up chemical reactions.

What are Enzymes?

400

Plant and fungi cells BOTH contain this organelle, while animal cells do not.

What is a cell wall?

400

In pea plants, tall (T) is dominant to short (t). If two heterozygous plants are crossed, the possible offspring will have these GENOTYPE(S).

What are TT, Tt, and tt?

400

Phoresy is a phenomenon where one organism uses another organism for transportation. For instance, mites ride on the backs of beetles, which are unaffected by the presence of the mites. This type of symbiotic relationship can be as this.

What is commensalism?

500

For data to be considered "valid", it must meet these criteria.

What is repeated trials by different people who get the same results?

500

Some carrot sticks are placed in a strong salt water solution, and some carrot sticks are placed in plain water. The result of the above scenario is this.

What is the carrot sticks in the salt water will SHRIVEL and the carrot sticks int he plain water will SWELL.

500
During cellular respiration, ATP molecules are produced by this organelle.
What is the mitochondrion?
500
In dogs, brown fur (B) is dominant to white fur (b). If a homozygous dominant dog is mated with a homozygous recessive dog, the PHENOTYPE(S) of the possible offspring will be this.
What is all offspring will be brown? (all offspring will be Bb = brown)
500

We currently organize all known organisms into a system of classification that is made up of these seven taxonomic ranks. (list them in order -- full names or first letters of each name are both fine)

What are Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species?
