The next step in the scientific method after background research is gathered.
What is forming a hypothesis?
100
The smallest basic unit of matter.
What is the atom?
100
Macromolecules that provide the main energy source for cells.
What are carbohydrates?
100
Cells are the basic unit of life. All living things come from cells. Cells come from pre-existing cells.
What are the 3 parts of the Cell Theory?
100
The result of ATP losing a phosphate group.
What is energy is released? (becoming ADP)
200
The variable that is manipulated during the experiment.
What is the independent variable?
200
Subatomic particles found in the nucleus that are positive.
What are protons?
200
Catalysts in living things.
What are enzymes?
200
Cell type without a nucleus or organized organelles.
What is a prokaryotic cell?
200
The two 3-carbon molecules produced at the end of glycolysis.
What is pyruvate (pyruvic acid)?
300
Type of data that is described as the plant grew 3 inches in 30 days.
What is quantitative data?
300
Molecules that have an uneven distribution of electrons between the two or more of the elements in the molecule.
What are polar molecules?
300
The monomer for proteins.
What are amino acids?
300
Three organelles normally found in plant cells that are not in animal cells.
What are a cell well, chloroplasts, and a central vacuole?
300
Two types of fermentation.
What are alcoholic and lactic acid fermentation?
400
Characteristic of life that refers to the process in which organisms produce new organisms.
What is reproduction?
400
Type of bonds that are responsible for the properties of water that make it unique.
What are hydrogen bonds?
400
RNA and DNA belong to this group of macromolecules.
What are Nucleic Acids?
400
The term used by scientists to describe the cell membrane.
What is selectively-permeable? (Fluid-Mosaic Model)
400
The location and alternate name of the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis.
What is the stroma and the Calvin Cycle (Dark reactions)?
500
The process by which organisms keep their internal conditions relatively stable.
What is homeostasis?
500
Type of bonding where electrons are being shared between the atoms.
What is covalent bonding?
500
The special name for the structure created when an enzyme binds with a reactant.
What is the enzyme-substrate complex? (Lock-and-Key Model)
500
Type of tonicity where there is a higher amount of solute compared to the solvent.
What is hypertonic?
500
The location and alternate name of the Kreb's Cycle occuring during cellular respiration.
What is the matrix and Citric Acid Cycle?
