Biology Basics
The subject that studies living things.
What is Biology?
States of matter
What is solid, liquid, and gas?
Type of bond that gives or accepts electrons.
What is an iconic bond?
The part of the cell that stores genetic information.
What is the nucleus?
Biological catalysts that accelerate chemical reactions in living cells at the normal body temperature.
What is an enzyme?
A way of gaining information about the world.
What is the Scientific Method?
States that elements consist of tiny particles called atoms.
What is the atomic theory?
A strong bond in which 2 atoms share electrons.
What is a covalent bond?
The part of the cell that carries out protein synthesis in the cytoplasm, found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
What is the ribosome?
The site where an enzyme binds to a substrate.
What is an active site?
A possible explanation for an event.
The smallest unit of matter.
What is an element?
Simply shows the number of atoms involved in H2.
What is the molecular formula?
The act of molecules moving into the cell.
What is endocytosis?
The best conditions for the highest number of reactions to occur.
What is the optimum range?
Maintenance of internal conditions within certain boundaries.
What is homeostasis?
Two types of energy.
What is potential and kinetic energy?
The act of joining monomers to form polymers.
What is a dehydration reaction?
The complicated system of membranous channels and saccules.
What is the endoplasmic reticulum?
The process that occurs when you apply heat or change the pH of an enzyme.
What is denaturation?
Characteristics of Life
What is organization, energy, homeostasis, response, development, and adaptation?
Calculation of the mass number.
What is the number of protons plus the number of nuetrons?
The reaction in which water is used to break the bond present.
What is hydrolysis?
Digestive enzymes that digest molecules or portions of the cell.
What is lysosomes?
The two things in the environment that affect enzyme reactions.
What is temperature and pH?
