Sugars end in these three letters.
What are "ose"?
Enzyme end in these three letters.
What is "ase"?
What is a hypothesis?
A plant grows toward the sunlight. This is an example of which characteristic of living things?
What is responding to the environment?
Water has slight charges so we call it this.
What is polar?
Macromolecules that are responsible for short-term energy. These macromolecules are composed on sugar molecules.
What are carbohydrates?
A change in these two conditions can denature an enzyme and cause it to not function.
What are pH and temperature?
Jane runs a pet store and sells mostly dogs to new pet owners. What inference might Jane make with regard to which type of pet is favored by people?
Jane could infer that dogs are the preferred pet for new pet owners.
All living organisms are made of at least one of these.
What is a cell?
These bonds exist BETWEEN water molecules.
What are hydrogen bonds?
Macromolecules that primarily function as structural support in humans and plants. This type of macromolecule makes up our muscles. Enzymes are also a type of this molecule.
What are proteins?
This is the main function of enzymes.
What is to speed up reactions?
Cal placed five goldfish in one tank in sunlight. He then place five goldfish in one tank in the dark. Cal then measured how quickly the fish ate food when they received a meal. What is the dependent variable?
How quickly the fish ate food
What is homeostasis?
Water molecules stick to other surfaces. This is called...
What is adhesion?
The monomers of proteins AND how many exist.
What are amino acids, of which there are 20?
What is shown in pink on the left.
What is a substrate?
Cal placed five goldfish in one tank in sunlight. He then place five goldfish in one tank in the dark. Cal then measured how quickly the fish ate food when they received a meal. What is the independent variable?
The presence of light
Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up reactions. This is the term used for the sum of all chemical reactions in a living organism.
What is metabolism?
Water molecules stick to each other. This is called
Cohesion
The atom that forms the foundation of macromolecules.
What is carbon?
The range of pH that enzyme B does not work.
What is between pH 0-6?
Measuring the height of a plant is an example of this type of observation (hint: number based).
What is quantitative?
Natural selection leads to organisms that have beneficial adaptations. This process is called...
What is evolution?
Explain why it is important that water has a high specific heat.
Water has a high specific heat and does not change temperature easily. This is important for living organisms that are composed of water or live in an aquatic environment.
