Why is science considered a process?
It is always changing. You can do the Scientific Method to collect data to gain an understanding of science. Science is a growing body of knowledge.

The oxygen and hydrogen atoms in one water molecule share electrons. What is this type of bond?
Covalent Bond
400
What base does RNA have that DNA does NOT have?
Uracil (U)

In an experiment, scientists include a set up that does not get the variable that is being tested. This set up is used to compare the results to. What is this called?
The control.

What is another name for a protein?
Polypeptide

Name 2 differences between DNA and RNA.
DNA is double stranded (RNA is single stranded). DNA is only in the nucleus (RNA is in the nucleus and in the cytoplasm). DNA has thymine (RNA has uracil). DNA has deoxyribose sugar (RNA has ribose sugar).
