Vocabulary
This basic unit of life is inside of everyone and every organism.
What is the Cell?
Otherwise known as an objective, a statement that clearly shows what question you are trying to answer in your investigation.
What is a purpose?
Anything that has mass and occupies space is this.
What is matter?
Carbohydrates are found in this ingredient, otherwise known as glucose.
What are Sugars?
The overall goal of this thing is to answer a question.
What is a scientific investigation?
These molecules have an affinity for water or ¨ water-loving ¨ dissolve easily in water.
What is a hydrophilic molecule?
A testable prediction based on observations that describes a cause-and-effect relationship between variables.
What is a hypothesis?
This part of an element is the smallest part that still has the properties of that element
What are atoms?
The main functions of this molecule consist of storing, transmitting, and expressing our genetic information, and it contains the instructions for making proteins.
What are nucleic acids?
This property of water is the attraction between molecules of the same substance. It causes high surface tension and typically consists of molecules that attract each other.
What is cohesion?
This molecule is not a fan of water. "Water Fearing." It doesn't dissolve easily in water.
What is a hydrophobic molecule?
What are Experimental and control groups?
This property of water consists of dissolving things, stating that water dissolves more substances than any other liquid. It has 3 different types, solution, solute, and solvent.
What is water solvent?
These molecules' main function is energy storage for a short period of time. It also transports and signals. They are found in sugars and starches. They can be classified as monomers and polymers.
What are carbohydrates?
An explanation of an observed phenomenon. Organizes facts and research from scientists to explain why.
What is a theory?
These large organic molecules make up all living things.
What are macromolecules?
A broad concept or principle that describes patterns in nature and is often accepted as facts.
What is a law?
This molecule is made of 2 atoms of hydrogen covalently bonded to 1 atom of oxygen and is critical for all of life's processes. It has special properties because it is a polar molecule.
What is water?
This special lipid contains 2 fatty acids and 1 phosphate.
2 layers make up the plasma membrane of our cells
What are phospholipids?
This type of observation describes qualities like green liquid, a large hole, a sour taste, and a sweet smell.
What is a Qualitative Observation?
The molecules are small, basic sub-units, similar to a brick or a word. Single sugar molecules that carry fatty acid and amino acids.
What is a Monomer?
When conducting a final hypothesis, it is an "if, then" statement. These 2 things are used in the hypothesis to describe the cause and effect.
What are Independent and dependent variables?
The following are important because they make up an organism:Atom, molecule, organelle, cell, tissue, organ, and organ system.
What are the levels of organization?
These macromolecules' main function is storing energy for a long period of time, and can also insulate and protect other things while also giving structure to the body. These are found in fats, oils, phospholipids, and steroids.
What are lipids?
This type of attraction happens between 2 different molecules. These eventually form strong bonds.
What is adhesion?
