100
A large molecule made up of smaller molecules.
What are Polymers?
100
Enzymes are this kind of organic molecule.
What are Proteins?
100
These organisms create their own food by using the sun in a process called photosynthesis. **You must use a vocabulary word from this unit**
What are producers/autotrophs? **"Plant" was not a vocabulary word.**
100
The factor in an experiment that is changed on purpose.
What is an independent variable?
100
How many variables should you change in an experiment?
One
200
Molecules that include fats, oils, and cholesterol?
What are Lipids?
200
This is the reason why enzymes only work with one specific substrate.
What is the shape of the enzyme?
200
These organisms are considered heterotrophs because they absorb nutrients from dead organisms and recycle them back into the ecosystem.
What are decomposers?
200
This is the "educated guess" that is tested in an experiment.
What is a hypothesis?
200
These are things that are the same in all groups.
What are constants?
300
How are carbohydrates and lipids similar?
They both provide energy.
300
These two factors affect the function of enzymes.
What is temperature and pH?
300
This type of diagram shows all of the feeding relationships in a given ecosystem.
What is a food web?
300
If I notice that orange flowers grow faster in the heat and slower in the cold, this is an example of what in an experiment?
What is an observation?
300
This is the thing that you measure during an experiment.
What is the dependent variable?
400
If you're eating fruits, vegetables and grains, you're eating this kind of organic molecule.
What are Carbohydrates?
400
These are the 2 main chemical reactions that enzymes perform.
What are synthesis and digestion?
400
These show the flow of energy through a food chain or food web.
What are arrows?
400
When you decide whether or not the data supports the original hypothesis, you are doing this.
What is drawing a conclusion?
400
We use this to organize the data collected in order to see the effect the independent variable had.
What are charts/graphs?
500
The monomer of proteins and carbohydrates.
What are amino acids and sugar/glucose?
500
The name of the chemical reaction model that enzymes perform.
What is the Lock and Key Model?
500
The amount of energy passed from one trophic level to the next.
What is 10%?
500
Once you have your hypothesis, you test it by conducting this.
What is an experiment?
500
These are 2 ways that we can assure the validity of our experimental results.
What are: 1- Doing it again 2- Having a peer do it 3- Use a large sample size
