This is the step of the scientific method in which the scientist notices something that makes him/her want to conduct the experiment.
What is the observation?
100
This is the term that means the basic building block of macromolecules. These join together to form polymers.
What is a monomer.
100
This is the plane that divides the body into superior (towards the head) and inferior (towards the feet) regions.
What is the transverse plane?
100
This is another term used to describe the front of the body.
What is the ventral/anterior?
100
This term applies when the body is maintaining stable conditions or equilibrium.
What is homeostasis?
200
The dependent variable is the thing that the scientist is _______________.
What is measuring?
200
This is the macromolecule that has a C:H:O ratio of 1:2:1.
What is carbohydrate?
200
This is the ventral cavity that holds the digestive organs.
What is the abdominal cavity?
200
This term means the throat.
What is cervical?
200
This is the type of feedback that brings the body back to homeostasis.
What is negative feedback?
300
This is the thing that is different between the experimental and the control groups. It is what the scientist is changing between the groups.
What is the independent variable?
300
DNA, RNA, and ATP (which gives the cell energy) are examples of this type of macromolecule.
What is nucleic acid?
300
This is the plane that divides the body into anterior (ventral) and posterior (dorsal).
What is the frontal plane?
300
This ventral cavity contains the digestive organs.
What is the abdominal cavity?
300
When our vital signs are out of their normal range, our body is (in/out of) homeostasis.
What is out of homeostasis?
400
This is the independent variable in the following experiment: Thaddeus wonders whether he can throw the football further when it is depleted of air. He fills one group of footballs up with only 50% air and measures the distance he can throw them. He fills the other group of footballs up with the maximum amount of air and measures the same thing.
What is the amount of air in the football?
400
This is the monomer of proteins.
What is amino acid?
400
This dorsal cavity that holds the spinal cord.
What is vertebral/spinal cavity?
400
The eyes are ________ to the brain. (lateral, medial, proximal, superficial, or deep)
What is superficial?
400
Temperature regulation is an example of this type of feedback mechanism.
What is negative feedback?
500
This is the control group in the following experiment: Thaddeus wonders whether he can throw the football further when it is depleted of air. He fills one group of footballs up with only 50% air and measures the distance he can throw them. He fills the other group of footballs up with the average amount of air that the NFL requires.
What is the group of footballs that were blown up to average amount?
500
This is the type of reaction that joins/combines two monomers into one and also requires water.
What is dehydration synthesis?
500
This ventral cavity holds the bladder.
What is the pelvic cavity?
500
The carpal region is ________ to the manual region. (lateral, medial, inferior, distal, proximal, deep)
What is proximal?
500
Blood clotting is an example of this type of feedback mechanism.
