more salt than water

200

variable that responds to the changes you made

what is

dependent variable

200

property that allows water to stick to itself

what is

cohesion

200

Which macromolecule makes up the majority of our plasma membrane?

what is

lipids (phospholipids)

200

Which organelle am I

A child is diagnosed with Diamond-Blackfan anemia, a condition where the body cannot make enough red blood cells. Doctors discover that the patient’s cells struggle to build proteins needed for blood cell production.
 

what is

ribosomes

200

What part of the plasma membrane is responsible for cell to cell recognition or communication

what is

carbohydrates / oligosaccharide

200

movement across the membrane from H-L

what is

osmosis

200

If a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution what will happen to the cell?

what is

it will shrink

300

variables that stay the same

what is

constant / control

300

property that allows a tree to pull water from the roots to the leaves 

what is

capillary action

300

Which macromolecule does this monomer belong to?

what is

nucleotide

300

Which organelle is malfunctioning?

A muscle cell disorder prevents calcium from being released at the right time during contraction, making movement difficult.

what is

smooth ER

300

component of the membrane that helps control the fluidity of the membrane 

what is

cholesterol

300

movement of bulk materials out of the cell

what is

exocytosis

300

A cell placed in an isotonic solution will:

what is

stay the same

400

how does the type of fertilizer change the growth of a plant

What is the independent variable

what is

type of fertilizer 

400

When water sticks to another substance

what is

adhesion

400

Which macromolecule does this monomer belong to?

what is

proteins 

400

Which organelle is affected?

A newborn has I-cell disease, where enzymes meant to digest waste are released outside the cell instead of staying where they belong. Waste materials build up inside the cell.

what is

lysosomes

400

type of transport that moves bulk substances into the cell

what is 

endocytosis

400

how does CO2 and O2 move across the membrane

what is

simple diffusion

400

a cell that is placed in hypotonic solution will

what is 

swell

500

How many variables can be tested at one time

what is

one variable

500

Bond that allows water molecules to stick to each other

what is

hydrogen bonds

500

macromolecules are put together by which process?

how does it happen (2 words)

what is

dehydration synthesis

removing water

500

A rare disorder causes cells to build up waste because lysosomes do not receive the enzymes they need. The enzymes are made but never delivered.


Which organelle is responsible for this problem?

what is

Golgi body

500

Type of transport that brings liquids into the cell (be specific)

what is

 pinocytosis

500

What type of transport will move large and polar substances across the membrane

What is

facilitated diffusion

500

a cell that has 30% solute is placed in a solution that has 60% solute

What will happen to the cell

what is

it will shrink

600

the group that is given the independent variable

what is

experimental group

600

property that allows water to regulate the Earth's climate

what is

specific heat

600

Macromolecules are broken down by which process

How does it happen (2 words)

what is

hydrolysis

adding water

600

Which organelle normally performs this function?

A person has high levels of toxins in their bloodstream because their cells cannot neutralize harmful chemicals.

what is

smooth ER

600

bringing large food particles into the cell

be specific

what is 

phagocytosis

600
