The 6 Kingdoms of Life
These two kingdoms members are always unicellular.
What are archaebacteria and eubacteria?
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?
This is known as the smallest unit of matter.
What is an atom?
These three atoms covalently bond together to make a water molecule.
What are two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
This term refers to a molecule in which electrons are not shared evenly and there is a separation of charges leaving one side more positive and another side more negative.
What is polar?
This Kingdom's members are always autotrophic, meaning they make their own food from nonliving sources like the sunlight.
What is the plant kingdom?
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 life.
What is a cell?
This describes the shape water takes.
What is bent?
This term describes an organism that gets its energy from living sources and can be subcategorizes as a carnivore, herbivore, omnivore, or decomposer.
What is a heterotroph?
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 is what gets dissolved in a solution.
What is the solute?
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?
These six elements are essentially to building the macromolecules used by all living organisms.
What is CHNOPS (Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorus, and Sulfur)?
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.
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?
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?
These are two of the three reasons carbon is so important to building the molecules living organisms use.
What is...(1) carbon can form up to four bonds with other atoms, (2) carbon forms strong, long lasting bonds, and/or (3) carbon can make complex shapes and structures (chain, rings, branches)?
Describe why water is known as the universal solvent.
What is because it is able to dissolve a wide range of solutes including especially anything that is polar and/or charged?
