Chapter 1
An educated guess written in an if, then format
What is a hypothesis?
What are the reactants in the reaction below?
CO2 + H2O --> C6H12O6 + O2
What are carbon dioxide and water?
Cytology
What is the study of cells?
These organisms make their own food
What are autotrophs?
The making of RNA from DNA
What is transcription?
The genetic code of living things
What is DNA?
This speeds up a reaction without being used up itself
What is a catalyst?
This is made of cells that have the same function
What is a tissue?
The process of taking kinetic energy from the sun and storing it as potential energy
What is photosynthesis?
This is only found in RNA
What is uracil?
This variable is what the scientist controls
What is the independent variable?
This is the diffusion of water through a semipermeable membrane.
What is osmosis?
These are 2 of the things only found in plant cells
What are cell walls, plastids, and large vacuoles
This takes place in the cytoplasm and yields 2 ATP from the breakdown of glucose
What is glycolysis?
What is tRNA?
This variable is not planned for
What is the messy variable?
What is hydrophilic?
These non membrane bound organelles are known as protein factories
What are ribosomes?
What are the two phases of photosynthesis?
The building phase (energy storing) of metabolism
What is anabolism?
What is the independent variable below?
If the students study hard for their midterms, then they will do well.
What is studying?
These are the bases of DNA
What are adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine?
This happens to cells in hypotonic solutions and causes the cell to shrivel up
What is plasmolysis?
There are 3 steps in aerobic cellular respiration. How much ATP is made in each?
What is 2, 2, 32?
What is the matching codon to this piece of DNA?
TAG
What is AUC?
