There is a tradeoff between _____________ and ___________ when using microscopes. When one increases, the other decreases. HINT: As you zoom in, the image gets blurry.
magnification and resolution

Are "somatic" cells body cells or reproductive cells?

sexual reproduction

Theory, law, or hypothesis? For liquids and gasses that are in closed containers that cannot expand, if you apply pressure to any part, it will be equally spread over the liquid/gas.
law Theories are explanations of how or why things occur and are usually broad in scope (they combine many well-supported hypotheses and explain groups of phenomena, not specific individual circumstances). Laws describe what will happen under certain circumstances. Hypotheses are well-informed predictions but could be disproven with an experiment (although in Biology this is rare--we usually gather evidence for or against major hypotheses over time rather than strictly proving or disproving). **And remember, theories CANNOT become laws, and laws CANNOT become theories!

Ms. Odom wants to know the effects of playing video games on eyesight. She has volunteers, over a course of 6 months, play video games either 0, 2, or 4 hours per day. She measures their eyesight at the beginning of the experiment and at the end of the experiment, and draws conclusions based on how eyesight changed over the experiment. Here are her results: 0 hours group: 0%, +1%, 0%, -1% 2 hours group: 0%, 0%, +1%, -2% 4 hours group: 0%, -2%, -1%, 0% In terms of scientific methodology, what are these numbers called?
data
400
If you make ATP (ADP plus phosphate group), does the reaction absorb energy or release energy?
absorb (breaking ATP releases energy)

Van Leeuwenhoek used an early microscope to observe what moving around through pond water?
single-celled organisms

In MITOSIS, are cells diploid or haploid: 1- at the beginning of mitosis? 2- at the end of mitosis?
1- diploid 2- diploid

During Prophase I of meiosis, - the nuclear membrane dissolves - DNA condenses and becomes visible - centrioles migrate toward the poles of the cell - spindle fibers form - homologous pairs of chromosomes join up to form ________ and experience __________________ (where bits of the chromosome are exchanged between the two).
tetrads, crossing over

Ms. Odom wants to know the effects of playing video games on eyesight. She has volunteers, over a course of 6 months, play video games either 0, 2, or 4 hours per day. She measures their eyesight at the beginning of the experiment and at the end of the experiment, and draws conclusions based on how eyesight changed over the experiment. What are the independent variable, dependent variable, and control group?
independent variable: time playing video games dependent variable: change in eyesight control group: 0 hours of video games

List the 3 parts of cell theory and which scientist(s) are specifically credited for each part.
All living things are made of cells. - Schleiden, Schwann Cells only arise from the division of preexisting cells. - Virchow Cells are the basic unit of life.

A parent cell has 8 chromosomes at the beginning of mitosis. How many chromosomes will each daughter cell have?
8 - In MITOSIS, daughter cells are genetically identical to parent cells. Both are diploid, with the full number of chromosomes.

Because of (1) crossing over, (2) the many combinations of ways that homologous chromosomes can be split into daughter cell gametes, and (3) the different combinations of chromosomes that result from fertilization, sexual reproduction is considered highly important to the the long-term survival of a species. In other words, sexual reproduction produces ___________ ____________.
genetic diversity
