Characteristics of Life
Reproduction when the new organism has one parent.
What is Asexual Reproduction?
Minimum amount of energy needed for reactance to form products in a chemical reaction
What is the activation energy?
A cycle that involves evaporation, precipitation, and percolation.
What is the water cycle?
Written description of what was noticed in the experiment.
What is the conclusion?
The passage of water through a selectively permeable membrane
What is Osmosis?
The chemical reactions in the body's cells that change food into energy.
What is Metabolism?
Formulas that describe the substances in the reaction
What is a chemical equation?
This involves photosynthesis, glucose and water.
What is cellular respiration or Carbon/Oxygen cycle?
Written and carefully followed step-by-step procedure designed to test the hypothesis
What is the experiment?
What is a solute?
The tendency toward a relatively stable equilibrium often affected by stimuli.
What is Homeostasis?
Substance that lowers the activation energy needed to start a chemical reaction
What is a catalyst?
This involves fungi, bacteria and sediments.
What is the rock cycle or phosphorus cycle?
Making an informed guess
What is a hypothesis?
The passage of molecules through a membrane
What is diffusion?
A signal to which an organism responds
What is a stimuli?
When a chemical reaction absorbs heat
What is endothermic?
This involves animal waste and nutrients for the soil.
What is the nitrogen cycle?
Gathering of information before your experiment begins
What is research?
When water potential is in equilibrium inside and outside of the cell
What is Isotonic?
What DNA is the abbreviation for
What is Deoxyribonucleic Acid?
When energy in the product is lower than the energy of the reactants
What is Exothermic?
The process by which nitrogen is changed into a useable form for gardens and agriculture.
What is the Haber-Bosch process or nitrogen fixation?
The variable in an experiment that does not change because of the other.
What is the independent variable?
The secretion of material outside of the plasma membrane
What is exocytosis?
