Intro to Biology
This is the simple, testable prediction made before an experiment.
What is a hypothesis?
This process uses sunlight to make glucose.
What is photosynthesis?
This is the broadest classification category.
What is a kingdom?
This is the basic structural and functional unit of life.
What is a cell?
This is the shape of a DNA molecule.
What is a double helix?
This type of bond involves sharing electrons between atoms.
What is a covalent bond?
This process breaks down glucose to produce ATP.
What is cellular respiration?
These bacteria live in extreme environments.
What is Archaebacteria?
This organelle acts as the cell’s control center.
What is the nucleus?
This is the process of copying DNA before cell division.
What is replication?
This type of molecule acts as a catalyst in biological reactions.
What is an enzyme?
This green pigment captures sunlight in plants.
What is chlorophyll?
This kingdom includes multicellular autotrophs with cell walls.
What is Plantae?
This organelle is responsible for producing ATP, the cell's energy.
What is the mitochondrion?
This type of cell division results in 2 identical daughter cells.
What is mitosis?
This is one reason Earth is an ideal location for life.
What is its distance from the sun / magnetosphere / water availability?
This is the total ATP gain from one glucose in aerobic respiration.
What is 36?
The correct sequence from broad to specific in classification is this.
What is Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species?
This is the term for the semi-permeable boundary that surrounds a cell.
What is the plasma membrane?
This square shows genetic crosses and their probabilities.
What is a Punnett square?
This type of lipid is a key component of cell membranes.
What are phospholipids?
This is the first step in cellular respiration that happens in the cytoplasm.
What is glycolysis?
This is the two-part naming system for organisms.
What is binomial nomenclature?
This structure helps maintain cell shape and assists in movement.
What is the cytoskeleton?
This monk is called the father of modern genetics.
Who is Gregor Mendel?
