Unit one
Deals with knowledge discovery
What is Pure Science?
The smallest structural unit of living matter capable of independently carrying out life's process.
What is Cell?
A process in which molecules or ions move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration.
A form of reproduction in which the cells produced are genetically identical to the original/parent cell.
What is asexual reproduction?
A situation in which genes have three or more possible alleles.
What is multiple alleles?
Deals with knowledge use
What is applied Science?
What is the stage?
A process by which water diffuses across a selectively permeable membrane.
What is osmosis?
A form of reproduction in which two parent cells unite to form an offspring that contains DNA which is a mixture of DNA from both parent cells.
What is sexual reproduction?
An enzyme that produces a copy of an existing DNA strand.
Make an observation and ask questions, Form a hypothesis, conduct an experiment, analyze the result and draw conclusions and communicate results.
What is scientific process?
The organelles that provide energy for the rest of the cell by using light energy to make sugar from carbon dioxide and water.
What is chloroplasts?
cells use an energy source (ATP) to power it's movement.
What is active transport?
The stage of the cell cycle in which duplicated chromosomes become separated into two identical group.
What is mitosis?
A change in the sequence of a gene's bases.
What is mutation?
Physical substance that takes up space and has mass.
What is Matter?
A membrane made of two layers of phospholipids.
What is lipid bilayer?
A molecule that stores energy in the chemical bonds between its phosphates groups and delivers energy to cells.
What is Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)?
A genetically programmed process hat results in the breakdown and death of a cell in a way that is not harmful to the rest of the body.
What is apoptosis?
All the DNA (genetic code) found within the cell of an organism.
What is genome?
Breaks apart to form an excess of hydrogen ions when dissolved in water.
What is Acids?
This stable internal environment must be maintained for living organism to survive.
Process in which organisms use oxygen to release the energy stored in glucose.
What is Aerobic respiration?
A process by which homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material during prophase 1 of meiosis.
What is crossing-over?
The sequence of nucleic acids found on the circular mitochondrial chromosome.
What is mitochondrial genome?
