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

This organelle is considered the powerhouse of the cell

What is mitochondria

100

Observable characteristics of an organism

What is a trait

100

These two taxonomic names make up a scientific name (the binomial nomenclature)

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

A genotype with two dominant alleles, such as AA

What is homozygous dominant

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

Different forms of a trait (ex: blue eyes or green eyes)

What are alleles

300

This characteristic of water molecules explains why water molecules stick to each other

What is adhesion

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

This is the monomer of a sugar

What is a monosaccharide

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)

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?
