Scientific Method
This is considered the "best" source of scientific information to use while conducting background research.
a. Internet
b. Newspaper
c. Scientific Journal
What is a Scientific Journal?
When we get cold we shiver to warm ourselves up. This statement is an example of this. (think happy & stable).
What is homeostasis?
A cell with a nucleus and other fancy organelles is what kind of cell?
What is an eukaryotic cell
In a replicating strand of DNA that reads TCA.GTC, the daughter strand produced would look like this.
What is AGT.CAG?
These two taxonomic names make up a scientific name.
What is Genus + Species?
This part of an experiment is what the researcher changes intentionally. It is the part that is being tested.
What is the Independent Variable?
This macromolecule is a prominent part of animal tissues, which functions in insulation, helping animals conserve heat.
a. Lipid
b. Protein
c. Nucleic acid
What is lipid?
These types of cells have many chloroplasts and a cell wall.
What are plant cells?
Amino acids link together to form proteins. This cellular process occurs at which organelle?
What is the ribosome?
This theory suggests that organisms with the best adaptations are able to survive and reproduce, passing on their beneficial traits to the next generation.
What is the Theory of Natural Selection? (or, survival of the fittest)
A scientist designed an experiment to test the effect of temperature on bacterial growth. What is the dependent variable?
What is the bacterial growth.
This substance ranges between 0-6.9 on the pH scale, and includes things like orange juice, lemonade, and coffee.
What is acid?
This organelle is responsible for capturing sunlight to create glucose.
What is the Chloroplast?
This molecule is responsible for carrying DNA's message from the nucleus to the ribosome.
What is mRNA? (or, messenger RNA)
This type of succession occurs when a volcano erupts and soil has to be formed before organisms can begin to recolonize the area.
What is Primary Succession?
What is the difference between a theory and a law?
A law is a statement about nature, while a theory is an idea that has been supported by much testing.
These substances speed up chemical reactions.
What are Enzymes?
Plant and fungi cells BOTH contain this organelle, while animal cells do not.
What is a cell wall?
In pea plants, tall (T) is dominant to short (t). If two heterozygous plants are crossed, the possible offspring will have these GENOTYPE(S).
What are TT, Tt, and tt?
Phoresy is a phenomenon where one organism uses another organism for transportation. For instance, mites ride on the backs of beetles, which are unaffected by the presence of the mites. This type of symbiotic relationship can be as this.
What is commensalism?
Why do scientists repeat multiple trials of an experiment?
Increase validity of the experiment
Some carrot sticks are placed in a strong salt water solution. Will the carrot sticks shrivel or swell?
What is shrivel?
During cellular respiration, ATP molecules are produced by this organelle.
What is the mitochondrion?
In dogs, brown fur (B) is dominant to white fur (b). If a homozygous dominant dog is mated with a homozygous recessive dog, the PHENOTYPE(S) of the possible offspring will be this.
What is all offspring will be brown? (all offspring will be Bb = brown)
We currently organize all known organisms into a system of classification that is made up of these taxonomic ranks. (List them in order.)
What are Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species?
