Cell Structure
This organelle is known as the "powerhouse" of the cell.
What is the mitochondrion?
The first step of the scientific method is to make one of these.
What is an observation?
This term describes the study of living things.
What is biology?
This is the smallest unit of an element.
What is an atom?
This molecule is the main energy currency of the cell.
What is ATP?
This part of the cell controls what enters and exits the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
A testable explanation for an observation is called this.
What is a hypothesis?
This is the smallest unit of life.
What is a cell?
These are the subatomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom.
What are protons and neutrons?
This process occurs in the chloroplasts and converts light energy into chemical energy.
What is photosynthesis?
These structures are responsible for protein synthesis.
What are ribosomes?
The variable that is intentionally changed in an experiment.
What is the independent variable?
This characteristic of life refers to the ability to maintain a stable internal environment.
What is homeostasis?
This type of bond forms when atoms share electrons.
What is a covalent bond?
This gas is required for cellular respiration to occur.
What is oxygen?
Found only in plant cells, this organelle is responsible for photosynthesis.
What is the chloroplast?
The group in an experiment that does not receive the treatment.
What is the control group?
This process involves organisms changing over generations through adaptation.
What is evolution?
This type of reaction breaks down polymers into monomers by adding water.
What is hydrolysis?
This simple sugar is used to produce energy in cells.
What is glucose?
This rigid structure provides support and protection for plant cells
What is the cell wall?
Data that involves numbers is referred to as this.
What is quantitative data?
The steps used by scientists to gather information and answer questions are collectively called this.
What is the scientific method?
A chemical bond formed when one atom completely transfers one or more electrons to another atom
The jelly-like fluid that fills the inside of a cell, but outside of the nucleus
What is cytoplasm?
