UNIT ONE
This variable is what is measured in a controlled experiment.
What is the dependent variable?
These organisms break down dead or decaying organisms to release their nutrients.
What are decomposers?
These are the building blocks of starch.
What are simple sugars? (or glucose)
This organelle is responsible for protein synthesis.
What is the ribosome?
This is another name for anaerobic respiration in yeast and bacteria.
What is fermentation?
This life function means the control and coordination of all the other life functions.
What is regulation?
This is the term used to describe a species that is accidentally introduced into an area, and has no natural predators.
What is an invasive species?
These two organic macro-molecules contain nitrogen.
What are proteins and nucleic acids?
This indicator turns blue/black when starch is present.
What is Lugol's Iodine?
These are the two reactants for respiration.
What are glucose and oxygen?
This variable is always placed on the x axis of a graph.
What is the independent variable?
Ticks and dogs have this type of symbiotic relationship.
What is parasitism?
Pigments are an example of this organic molecule.
What are proteins?
This is a major determining factor for why a molecule cannot diffuse across a membrane.
What is size?
DAILY DOUBLE!
What are carbon dioxide, ATP, and NADPH?
This life process builds larger more complex molecules from smaller ones.
What is synthesis?
The overgrowth of algae due to an increase in nutrients is called this.
What is eutrophication?
The function of a protein is dependent upon this.
What is shape?
These 2 organelles are exceptions to one part of the cell theory.
What are mitochondria and chloroplasts?
Photosynthesis takes solar energy and turns it into this type of energy in a molecule of glucose.
What is chemical bond energy?
DAILY DOUBLE!
What is 150 micrometers?
An increase in the concentration of a chemical as you go up a food chain is considered this.
What is biological magnification?
These types of fats are LIQUIDS at room temperature.
What are unsaturated?
This organelle contains digestive enzymes.
What is the lysosome?
This process is used to separate molecules in a mixture.
What is chromatography?
