200

Something that changes in an experiment

What is Variable

200

Elements or compounds produced by a chemical reaction.

what is Product

200

Biomolecule used as an immediate energy source


What is Carbohydrate

200

The powerhouse of the cell, organelle that is the site of ATP (energy) production

What is Mitochondria

200

The process that releases energy (ATP) by breaking down glucose. (converts food molecules (glucose) into a form usable (ATP) by the organism)

What is Cellular Respiration

400

The thing you are measuring. It changes during the experiment because of the influence of the another variable.

What is Dependent Variable


400

One of several forms of a single element, which contains the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons.

What is Isotope

400

what are these examples of: oil, fats, waxes, phospholipids

what are Lipids

400

cell organelle filled with enzymes needed to break down certain materials in the cell

What is Lysosome

400

Products of cellular respiration

What are Carbon dioxide, water, and ATP

600

An observation used to describe the quality (color, shape, smell, texture) of an object or event.

What is Qualitative Observation

600

A substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction



what is Catalyst

600

Biomolecule used for insulation, the main ingredient in cell membranes, and as long-term energy storage

What is Lipids

600

A long, whip-like filament that helps in cell motility. Many bacteria are, also sperm.

What is Flagella

600

Products of Photosynthesis

What is C6H12O6 + 6O2

800

The group that you are unfamiliar with (not the normal), or what you have to do extra steps for.

What is Experimental Group

800

Material composed of two or more elements or compounds that are physically mixed together but not chemically combined.

What is Mixture

800

Biomolecule used to regulate processes in the body (metabolism), build structures, and communicate between cells

What is Protein

800

Hairlike projections that extend from the plasma membrane and are used for locomotion

What is Cilia

800

Type of anaerobic respiration used by organisms such as bacteria to recycle products of glycolysis.

What is Lactic Acid Respiration

1000

The strategy used for scientific investigations

What is Scientific Inquiry

1000

A compound that forms hydrogen ions (H+) in solution; a solution with a pH of less than 7.

What is Acid

1000

The element that is the basis or "backbone" of (and found in) all 4 types of biomolecules

What is Carbon

1000

System of internal membranes within the cytoplasm. Membranes are rough due to the presence of ribosomes. functions in transport of substances such as proteins within the cytoplasm


What is Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

1000

Small openings on the underside of a leaf through which oxygen and carbon dioxide can move

What is Stomata (stoma)
