Microscopes/Metric System and Experimental Design
A student would use this type of microscope to observe small living things
What is a compound light microscope?
This is the structure of the cell membrane
What is the phospholipid bilayer?
The number of protons
What is the atomic number of an element?
These fatty acids have a kinked structure.
What are unsaturated fatty acids?
This organelle contains the information needed to make proteins
What is the nucleus?
This is the central theme of inquiry
What is a question?
Hydrophobic part of a cell membrane
What is the interior portion of the membrane or what are the tails of the phospholipids?
Two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen
What is a molecule of water?
This biological molecule carries the genetic information
What is a nucleic acid? or What is DNA?
*All cells come from preexisting cells
*Cells are the basic unit of life
* All living things are comprised of one or more cells
What is the cell Theory?
The size of the cube was this component in the cell size lab
What is the IV?
This type of membrane transport uses ATP and moves substances against their concentration gradient
What is Active Transport?
A strongly electronegative element with seven valence electrons in its outermost energy level. Compared to the less electronegative element, which has one valence electron in its outermost level is likely to have a _ charge
What is a negative charge.
This reaction occurs when water is removed from monomers to synthesize a polymer
What is dehydration synthesis?
Found in plant cells but not animal cells this organelle can harvest energy from the sun and convert it to chemical energy
What is a chloroplast?
This is the basic unit of volume in the metric system
What is a liter?
Along with a membrane protein this is required for the net movement of a substance by facilitated diffusion
What is a concentration gradient?
This property of water contributes most to its ability to form hydrogen bonds with other water molecules
What is cohesion or surface tension?
These biological molecules are proteins that affect the reactions in living cells by changing the activation energy.
What are enzymes?
In this hypertonic solution the net movement of water will be in this direction
What is out of the cell?
Convert 1cm to um(micrometers)
What is 10000um?
During this process a cell like a macrophage engulfs subtances and brings them into the cell.
What is endocytosis?
These Atoms of the same element contain the same number of protons and a different number of neutrons.
What is an isotope?
What is a denatured protein?
The nucleus, Rough ER, Golgi and Vesicles make up this system
What is the endomembrane system?
