Scientific Method
This is an answer to a question which is testable.
What is a hypothesis?
The category of molecules containing C, H and O; some also contain N.
What are organic molecules?
All cells contain this barrier which selectively lets certain substances in and out of the cell.
What is a cell membrane/lipid bilayer?
This molecule carries genetic information for organisms.
What is DNA?
This scientist first discovered the principles of how species change over time.
Who is Charles Darwin?
This is the test of a hypothesis.
What is an experiment?
This is the name for the types of molecules that are used as building blocks for organic molecules.
What are monomers?
This type of cell contains a nucleus and other structures which carry out specific functions.
What is eukaryotic?
This scientist discovered the principles of inheritance, or how traits are passed from one generation to another.
Who is Gregor Mendel?
This is the process by which certain traits are 'selected' to be useful for helping an organism survive.
What is natural selection?
This is what scientists do after they have analyzed their data.
What is draw a conclusion?
Carbohydrates are made from this repeating unit.
What is Glucose/C6H12O6?
This is one of two structures that plant cells have which differ from what animal cells have.
What is either a chloroplast or cell wall?
This molecule carries the information from a gene to the outside of the nucleus.
What is mRNA?
This is what does the selection during the process of natural selection.
What is an environmental change?
This variable is what the researcher changes.
What is the independent variable?
These molecules are used to control chemical reactions in living things.
What are enzymes?
This process is how cells divide and produce two genetically identical daughter cells.
What is mitosis?
This is the base that adenine pairs with in RNA.
What is uracil/U?
This is the result for most species, eventually.
What is extinction?
This setup of an experiment is as close to natural conditions as possible.
What is the control setup?
This process forms long chains of amino acids.
What is protein synthesis?
This is the process by which molecules will move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration without additional energy being added.
What is diffusion?
This is the process that happens in the ribosome and results in a long chain of amino acids.
What is translation?
This happens when one species evolves into several species who fill different rolls in the ecosystem.
What is adaptive radiation?
