Properties of Water
This is what water is often called because it can dissolve so many different substances.
What is Universal Solvent?
This is the basic unit of structure and function in all living things.
What is a cell?
In this organelle, proteins and lipids are sorted and packed for storage or transport.
What is Golgi Apparatus?
Water's ability to be attracted to other substances, like in the veins of a plant.
What is adhesion?
They exist as small single-celled organisms without a true nucleus.
What is Prokaryotic cell?
This organelle converts chemical energy in food into usable molecules (ATP).
What is mitochondria?
The term for water's ability to be attracted to itself, which is responsible for surface tension?
What is cohesion?
This microscope has the greatest magnification power of all the microscopes.
What is TEM (transmission electron microscope)?
These organelles break down food/macromolecules and can be compared to the "clean up crew".
What are lysosomes?
Due to the unequal sharing of electrons between oxygen and hydrogen atoms, the water molecule has a positive end and a negative end, making it this type of molecule.
What is polar (polarity)?
This cell type has a true nucleus enclosed by a membrane. It is the cell type present in humans and plants.
What is eukaryote?
This organelle is where proteins are made.
What are ribosomes?
This chemical formula represents the most abundant molecule on Earth's surface and the primary component of all known life forms.
What is H20?
This important factor in microscopy is how much larger an object appears compared to its real size.
What is magnification?
This plant organelle converts solar energy to chemical energy stored in foods.
What is a chloroplast?
