Cells
What type of cells contain a nucleus?
What are eukaryotic cells?
What is the fundamental unit of life?
What is a cell?
This organelle stores the cell's DNA and helps produce RNA
What is the nucleus?
An electron on the outer shell of an atom
What is a valence electron?
This process binds molecules and releases water
What is dehydration synthesis? (Bonus: What is the opposite process called?)
This organelle decides what leaves and enters the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
The body must maintain balance. What is this process called?
What is homeostasis? (Bonus: Give an example)
This organelle is commonly referred to as the "recycler" of the cell and helps get rid of waste
What is a lysosome?
An atom gains an electron. It's charge is
What is negative?
Steroids and triglycerides are examples of what?
What are lipids?
What is the plasma membrane made out of?
What are phospholipids? (Bonus Question: What are the heads and tails?)
A molecule that is hydrophobic AND hydrophilic
What is amphipathic?
This organelle has ribosomes attached to it and is important in protein synthesis
What is the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum?
This atom has the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons
What is an isotope? (Bonus: what is an ion?)
Eggs frying in a pan and turning white is an example
What are denaturing proteins?
All cells have these 4 things.
What is genetic material, ribosomes, cytoplasm, and plasma membrane?
A characteristic or trait that appears when a bunch of smaller systems work together
What is an emergent property?
This organelle, commonly referred to as the "post office", packages, sorts, and helps transport lipids and proteins.
What is the golgi apparatus?
Something that falls anywhere from 0-6.9 on the PH Scale would be considered this.
What is acidic? (Bonus: Do acids have more or less H+?)
This variable is changed for each participant (i.e., each plant gets a different amount of sunlight)
What is an independent variable? (Bonus: What would be the dependent variable?)
These are principles of Cell Theory.
1. The cell is the fundamental unit of life
2. All organisms are made of one or more cells
3. All cells come from other cells
The naming and classification of organisms
What is taxonomy?
This organelle assists with lipid synthesis and detoxification.
What is the smooth endoplasmic reiculum?
These macromolecules are made up of monomers.
What are proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids? (Bonus: What are their monomers? What are lipids made of?)
What is the difference between a hypothesis and a prediction?
A Hypothesis is a testable explanation, a prediction is the "if... then..." statement
