These are two of the three elements found in organic compounds.
What are C, H, and O?
200
This is the step in the scientific method after you state your hypothesis.
What is conduct an experiment?
200
This is the point of a control group in an experiment.
What is to have a comparison for the experimental group?
200
This is what GREARCOD represents.
What are the characteristics of living things?

This is the definition of a monomer.
What is a building block of a polymer?

These are the two things a hypothesis must be.
What are educated and testable?

Peanut and Boohoo want to know if drinking delicious tomato juice will improve their biology test scores today. Peanut volunteers to drink the tomato juice. Boohoo does not drink the tomato juice. After taking the test, they will compare their grades on the test to decide if the tomato juice should be drunk before all future biology tests to boost their grades or not. This is the independent variable.
What is tomato juice?

These are the three things an organism must do with energy.
What are obtainit, use it, and store it?

This man invented the modern microscope.
Who is Hooke?

These are the three functions of lipids.
What are provide protection, insulation, and store energy?

This is how many steps are in the scientific method.
What is seven.

Peanut and Boohoo want to know if drinking delicious tomato juice will improve their biology test scores today. Peanut volunteers to drink the tomato juice. Boohoo does not drink the tomato juice. After taking the test, they will compare their grades on the test to decide if the tomato juice should be drunk before all future biology tests to boost their grades or not. This is the DV.
What are the results of the test?

This is the difference between growth and development.
What is growth is simply getting bigger and development is changing?
400
This is how you should carry a microscope. This is how you should store a microscope. (Think stage.)
What is with one hand on the base and one on the arm?What is with the stage rolled all the way down?
400
These are the two functions of proteins.
What are provide structure and catalyze reactions?
500
These are the steps of the scientific method in order.
What are state the problem, gather information, state the hypothesis, perform the experiment, collect data, organize and analyze data, and make a conclusion.

Peanut and Boohoo want to know if drinking delicious tomato juice will improve their biology test scores today. Peanut volunteers to drink the tomato juice. Boohoo does not drink the tomato juice. After taking the test, they will compare their grades on the test to decide if the tomato juice should be drunk before all future biology tests to boost their grades or not. This is the control group.
What is Boohoo?

This is what all of the letters in GREARCOD stand for.
What are Growth, Reproduction, Energy use, Adapt to environment, Response to stimulus, Cells, Organization, and Development?

If one of our microscope's eyepiece magnifies 10x and you have it set on the highest magnification objective, this is the total magnification you see.
What is 400x?
