Trust the Process
This part of an experiment states what you predict will happen and must be testable and falsifiable.
What is a hypothesis?
These tiny particles bond together to form compounds like those in cement.
What are atoms?
This organelle is known as the “powerhouse of the cell.”
What is the mitochondria?
Recording people in an experiment without their permission violates this ethical principle.
What is informed consent?
The number of moles in 18g of water (H₂O) is this.
What is 1 mole?
To ensure your results are reliable, you must make sure this is kept the same across trials.
What are the control variables?
This is the term for a charged atom or group of atoms that has gained or lost electrons.
What is an ion?
The cell membrane helps organisms survive by doing this.
What is controlling what enters and exits the cell?
This term refers to detecting sensory input, not interpreting it.
What is sensation?
Organic compounds are made primarily from this element.
What is carbon?
This referencing style is used within XAB084.
What is APA 7th?
In a solution, this term describes the component that is present in a significantly greater amount and dissolves the solute.
What is the solvent?
When body temperature drops and shivering begins, this type of feedback loop restores balance.
What is a negative feedback loop?
This type of processing uses prior knowledge to interpret messy or unclear information.
What is top-down processing?
The study of chemical reactions, stoichiometry, and balancing equations helps chemists predict this.
What is product yield?
This section of a scientific report is where you interpret your findings and compare them to other studies.
What is the Discussion section?
This type of change produces one or more new kinds of matter, such as when iron turns to rust or food rots, and is usually not easily reversible.
What is a chemical change?
In this phase of mitosis, chromosomes line up at the centre.
What is metaphase?
This fluid cushions the brain and spinal cord, much like hydraulic fluid in an elevator.
What is cerebrospinal fluid?
You expect 20g of product but get 15g instead. This is the percent yield.
What is 75%?
This part of the scientific process involves organizing your data into tables or graphs for easier interpretation.
What is data analysis?
Atoms bond to achieve this stable arrangement of eight electrons in their outer shell.
What is the octet rule?
Two heterozygous parents (Aa) have this probability of producing a homozygous recessive (aa) child.
What is 25%?
This neurotransmitter is most closely linked to pleasure, reward, and delicious cookies.
What is dopamine?
This kind of acid fully dissociates in water to release H⁺ ions.
What is a strong acid?
