The Scientific Method
A statement that predicts the outcome of a experiment
Hypothesis
This means 1 sugar.
monosaccharide
The movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration.
Diffusion
The site of photosynthesis in plants.
Chloroplasts
Define abiotic and give an example.
Non-living factor - wind, water, dirt, air
Constants/controls
When water is removed to join two monosaccharides, it is called this.
Dehydration synthesis
This type of movement requires energy.
active transport
Where do animals get their energy from?
the food we eat
The smallest level of biodiversity.
organism
What is being changed in the experiment.
Independent variable
What happens when an enzyme is denatured?
If a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, what will happen?
The cell will swell/gain water.
How are photosynthesis and respiration related?
they are the reverse of one another
How much energy is passed on in each level in a food pyramid?
10 %
How many variables should be changed in an experiment?
one
Lipids are composed of:
a glycerol and 3 fatty acid tails
Which way will water move in a hypertonic solution?
Out of the cell
How much ATP is produced from aerobic respiration?
about 38 ATP
Explain density dependent vs. density independent.
DD- depends on the number of organisms, disease, competition, predation
DI - naturally occurring - storms, earthquakes, floods
These are the 3 parts of a conclusion.
Claim, evidence, reasoning
Name the 3 parts of a nucleotide.
sugar, base, and phosphate
This is known as "cell eating."
Phagocytosis
What is the balanced equation for photosynthesis?
6CO2 + 6H20 + sunlight --> C6H12O6 +6O2
What is biodiversity?
The variety of living organisms living an area.
