This is the variable that causes the change in your experiment, and is something you deliberately change.
The independent variable. The Dependent Variable is the characteristic that is affected by the independent variable. (Independent variable=cause. Dependent variable=effect).
This polymer is a double stranded helix shape.
What is DNA
Describe the structure of a phospholipid, including hydrophobic and hydrophilic parts.
Phospholipids consist of a hydrophilic phosphate head and two hydrophobic fatty acid tails. They are found in the cell membrane and make it selectively permeable.
What are the 3 parts of a Nucleic Acid
Phosphate, 5 Carbon Sugar, Nucleotide
Describe a water molecule, include the charges on each atom.
One negatively charged oxygen, and two positively charged hydrogens linked by covalent bonds.
The name of the property for elements that are more "greedy" for electrons.
Electronegative
The name for the group or variable you keep the same in the experiment
The Control Group/Controlled Variable. Sometimes also called a "constant".
