Ex. The ground is wet because it rained
Inference
Anything that has mass and takes up space
Matter
The only macromolecule which you cannot get from food
Nucleic Acid
A testable prediction based on observations that describe a cause and effect relationship between variables
Hypothesis
What are the 3 main graphs/charts we will use to represent data?
Pie chart
Line graph
Bar graph
An observation that describes QUALITY
Qualitative
The type of molecule that has an unequal distribution of charges
Polar Molecule
The general name for the single, small, basic sub-unit of a macromolecule. These come together to make polymers
Monomer

Carbs, Lipids, and Proteins all have a specific caloric value per gram.
What is the calorie/gram ratio for each of them?
Carb and Protein - 4 cal/g
Lipid - 9 cal/g
The group in an experiment that is used for comparison because they are representing the "norm"
Control Group
What do we call the description of something we can use our senses to experience?
