Module 1
This organism makes its own energy
What is an autotroph
This particle is part of an atom and has no charge
What is a neutron?
This biome is usually located near the equator characteristics include high, rainfall amounts, dense, vegetation, and poor soil quality
What is tropical rainforest?
This theory states that all living things are made of cells, cells are the basic unit of structure and function for all life, and all cells come from pre-existing cells
What is cell theory?
Both autotroph and heterotrophs breakdown glucose and convert the energy to a more energy available molecule, ATP, in this process
What is cellular respiration?
This type of data involves numbers that can be counted or measured
What is quantitative data
This determines the vast majority of an atoms characteristics
What is number of electrons (or protons)?
This biome has permanently frozen soil that does not allow for the growth of large plants
What is tundra?
This scale measures the acidity or alkalinity of a solution
What is the pH scale?
This is the process of making glucose from sunlight, energy, water, and carbon dioxide
What is photosynthesis?
This is a possible explanation for an observation that can be tested
What is a hypothesis
These two particles are found in the nucleus of an atom
What are protons and neutrons?
An interaction in which both organisms benefit from the relationship
What is mutualism?
These are the basic building blocks of proteins
What are amino acids?
This is where photosynthesis takes place in plant cells
What are the chloroplasts?
This is made using one of the five senses i.e. describing something you see, here, smell, touch, or taste. An inference, on the other hand, is a logical interpretation based on prior knowledge or experience.
What is an observation
In order to belong to the same element, the number of this particle in the atoms must be the same
What are protons
Some scientists believe that this gas may be responsible for the greenhouse effect when released in large quantities into the atmosphere
What is carbon dioxide?
A phosphate group, a sugar and a vase are the three basic parts of this
What is a nucleotide?
These are the reactants of cellular respiration, and the products of photosynthesis
What are glucose and oxygen?
The maintenance of a stable internal conditions
What is homeostasis?
This bonding between the bases holds DNA’s double helix together
What is hydrogen bonding?
This cycle transports nutrients within an ecosystem and even from one ecosystem to another
What is the water cycle?
This holds the two helixes in a DNA molecule together
What are hydrogen bonds between the nucleotide basis?
During cellular respiration energy from the breakdown of food is stored in this
What is ATP?
