Scientific method
100

This term describes a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process

Enzymes 

100

This scientist is credited with formulating the theory of natural selection through his observations on the Galapagos islands

Charles Darwin

100

This is the simplest type of chemical substance consisting entirely of one atom

Element

100

This bio molecule is the primary source of energy found in most cells and is commonly found in foods like pasta, bread and rice

Carbohydrates 

100

This is the first step of the scientific method Where the researcher observes something and makes a question about it

Observation

200

This is the specific name given to the specific location a enzyme occurs

The active site

200

This term describes the natural process by which advantageous traits become more common in a population over generations

Natural selection 

200

This type of chemical reaction involves the exchange of electrons between two molecules, often resulting in the oxidation of one molecule and the reduction of another.

Redox reaction

200

This type of biomolecule is essential for building cellular structures and performing bodily functions, including enzymes


Proteins

300

These molecules increase enzyme activity by binding to a site other than the active site

Allosteric activators

300

This concept suggests that species evolve the most significant differences not from pressures of natural selection alone but also three periods of little to no change punctuated by rapid evolution

Punctuated equilibrium

300

This term describes the amount of disorderliness or randomness in the system which increases in a spontaneous process, according to the laws of thermodynamics

Entropy

300

This type of bio molecule found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells contains the genetic instruction material for the replication of the cell

DNA

400

This type of inhibition occurs when the inhibitor binds only to the enzyme substrate complex 

Uncompetitive inhibition

400

This term refers to the total number of genetic characteristics in the genetic make up of a species serving as a way for populations to adopt to a environment.

genetic diversity

400

This class of organic compounds contain only carbon and hydrogen With the carbons join together in a chain that can be straight or branch without any other types of atoms

Alkanes

400

This type of bio molecule is characterized by its in solubility in water and includes Fat, oils and steroids. They play key roles in energy storage.

Lipids

500

Named after two scientists, this equation describes the rate of enzyme catalyzed reaction depends on the concentration of substrate present.

the Michaelis-Menten equation 

500

These structures found in animals Share a common ancestral origin but may serve different functions highlighting the concept of divergent evolution

Homologous structures 

500

This rule states that atoms tend to combine in such a way that each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell giving it the same electron configuration as a noble gas

Octet rule

500

This type of RNA has the job of transferring amino acids to ribosomes during protein synthesis interpreting the mRNAs code into a sequence of amino acids

tRNA
