The 6 Kingdoms of Life
A group of organisms that can interbreed successfully.
What is a species?
This process is used by scientists to investigate phenomenon and often includes steps like "form a hypothesis" and "analyze data."
What is the scientific method?
These three atoms covalently bond together to make a water molecule.
What are two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
This macromolecule provides quick energy and is often "loaded" before intense physical activity.
What are carbohydrates?
This candy looks like M&Ms, but in fall colors and packs an increased amount of protein due to its peanut butter center.
What is Reese's Pieces?
This Kingdom's members are mostly unicellular, but does include some multicellular organisms.
What is protist/protista?
This variable changes in response to the stimulus and is what you are measuring or recording for your results in an experiment.
What is the dependent variable?
This is known as the smallest unit of matter.
What is an atom?
This macromolecule contains the code for making every protein that an organism needs.
What is nucleic acids or DNA/RNA?
This candy is a version of the original "taste the rainbow" form, but with a lower/more acidic pH.
What are sour skittles?
These TWO Kingdoms members are always multicellular.
What are plants and animals?
This variable is kept constant in an experiment to ensure accurate results.
What is the controlled variable/constant?
This bond forms between two water molecules because the polar ends of water are electrostatically attracted to each other.
What is a hydrogen bond?
This macromolecule is composed of amino acids which are either synthesized by the organism or obtained from ingestion of food and therefore are denoted as "essential" amino acids.
What are proteins/polypeptides?
This candy contains carbohydrates.
What is any candy because they all should contain sugar and even sugar free contains carbohydrates?
This kingdom is known as the "kitchen sink"/"outcast" kingdom because it contains members that don't fit in any of the other five kingdoms.
What is protista?
This variable is deliberately changed or manipulated by the experimenter in an experiment.
What is the independent variable?
This property of water is highlighted by the fact that a meniscus forms in glass graduated cylinders.
What is adhesion? Cohesion is probably happening too, but you wouldn't send the meniscus without adhesion.
What are lipids?
This candy is currently Dr. Frazier‘s favorite and is filled with monosaccharides that are heated to form a mixture of polysaccharides called caramel and also uses this word in its name.
What is caramello?
The members of this kingdom are often decomposers that break down dead organic matter and recycle nutrients back into the environment.
What is fungi or eubacteria or archaebacteria?
This is the “then” or “effect” part of the hypothesis and is found on the "y" axis. In DRY MIX, it represents "DRY".
What is the dependent variable?
This is defined as a measure of how difficult it is to stretch or break the surface of a liquid/resist an external force.
What is surface tension?
This type of reaction builds most polymers and literally means "water-splitting".
What is hydrolysis?
Name a candy that naturally contains all 4 biological macromolecules we discussed in class.
