Plant Cells
Why are plants green?
What is because the plants contain chloroplast (bonus: with chlorophyll!)
Nucleus
What is the cells control center (contains DNA)
What variable (independent or dependent) is what you measure?
What is dependent variable
What organelle lets things in/out of a cell?
What is the cell membrane
What organelle makes energy for plants?
What is the mitochondria
This variable is what the experimenter changes, to see the effects of
What is independent variable
This is the movement of molecules from a high to low concentration
What is diffusion
What are the reactants/inputs of photosynthesis?
What is sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water
This type of solution will cause cells to take on water and potentially burst
What is hypotonic
What is the name of the group in an experiment used to get baseline data?
What is control group?
This is the diffusion of water
What is osmosis
This is the equation for photosynthesis
What is carbon dioxide + water + sunlight --> glucose + oxygen
What organelle lets oxygen and glucose into a cell and carbon dioxide and water out of a cell?
What is the cell membrane
List these terms in order of smallest to largest: organ systems, tissues, organs, cells, organelles
What is organelles, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems
These stay the same in each trial.
What is constants
When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, what will happen?
It will lose water (through osmosis) and shrink/dehydrate
How is a gas produced by plants recycled in nature?
What is plants produce oxygen that is used during cellular respiration to make energy (for both plants and animals!)
How is a gas produced by animals recycled in nature?
What is animals produce carbon dioxide which is used by plants in photosynthesis to make glucose
What is when particles are at equal concentrations
What axis does the dependent variable go on in a graph?
What is y-axis (vertical)
What is an isotonic solution?
What is a when a cell is in a solution of equal concentration
