Scientific Method
This is usually the first step in the scientific method.
What is an observation?
These four (4) terms are known as the biomolecules of life.
What is a carbohydrate, lipid, protein, and nucleic acid?
Quadruple Jeopardy! This place is what Robert Hooke thought about as he first used the word "cell".
What is a monastery?
Triple Jeopardy! This phrase provides the meaning to the term "eukaryote".
What is "before nucleus"?
These small, circular organelles - often drawn as small dots - are sites of protein synthesis.
What are ribosomes?
This term means "a test of your prediction".
What is an experiment?
This biomolecule consists of nucleotides used to carry genetic information (DNA).
What is a nucleic acid?
What are pre-existing cells?
This phrase provides the meaning to the term "eukaryote".
What is "true nucleus"?
This maze-like structure of folds transports materials and is covered in ribosomes to give a "rough" appearance.
What is the rough endoplasmic reticulum?
Triple Jeopardy! This term describes changing the amount of water given to plants in order to see its effect on plant growth.
What is an independent variable?
This type of energy, along with heat insulation, is provided by lipids.
What is long-term energy?
Double Jeopardy! Cells are usually described with this short definition.
What is the basic unit of life?
This eukaryotic cell organelle stores DNA and is not present in prokaryotic cells.
What is the nucleus (nucleolus)?
This organelle is often used as storage vessels and for transport.
What is a vacuole?
Double Jeopardy! One term is an educated answer to the question, while the other is what you expect to see in the experiment.
What is a hypothesis and prediction?
Sugars, such as glucose and fructose, belong in this short-term energy biomolecule group.
What is a carbohydrate?
This type of organism can produce its own food.
What is an autotroph?
This type of cell is older, more archaic, and includes most bacteria.
What is a prokaryote?
This organelle surrounds a plant cell and is missing from animal cells.
What is a cell wall?
Quadruple Jeopardy! This term describes the part of the experiment used as a reference when interpreting results.
What is a control?
Double Jeopardy! This term is commonly used to describe a long chain of carbon atoms bonded to each other in a molecule.
What is a carbon backbone?
Double Jeopardy! This cellular process involves the removal of solid waste from the cell.
What is egestion?
Quadruple Jeopardy! This cellular substance tends to be circular in prokaryotes while linear in eukaryotes.
What is DNA?
Triple Jeopardy! This is what you should always read when first entering Ms.Harris's class!
What is a "Do Now"?
