The steps of the scientific process/method
1. Ask a question 2. Research 3. Conduct hypothesis 4. Test hypothesis: experiment 5. Analyze data / draw conclusion 6. Report results - Is your hypothesis correct?
The chemical process that uses sunlight to turn carbon dioxide and water into sugar
What is photosynthesis
This organelle provides the cell with the ATP it needs to perform its functions and activities; the powerhouse
What is the mitochondria?
Metabolsim, responsive to stimuli, growth, reporduction, adaptation/homestasis, cell organization, cells
What are the characteristics of life?
This kingdom has single celled organisms; examples - paramecium or amoeba
What is protista
This organelle is the "control center"; providing DNA instructions. It is surrounded by its own membrane and is covered with pores.
What is the nucleus?
Provide internal structure; the support beams of a house
What are microtubules & microfilaments
The example of fish swimming upstream
What is active transport
Carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acid
What are the molecules of life?
This kingdom has single celled organisms; examples - bacteria, ecoli, lime disease, blue-green algae.
What are transport proteins?cell
This organelle is a series of flattened membranes. Cell products pass through these membranes and become packaged for delivery in or out of the cell.
What is the Golgi apparatus
Diffusion into a cell through a membrane; example of a tea bag
What is osmosis?
The organization of life
What is the biosphere, biome, ecosystem, community, population, organism, organ system, organ, tissue, cell, organelle, molecule, atom
This Kingdom has single celled organisms; example - yeast
What is fungi
This organelle is a series of interconnected passageways; Transport
What is the endoplasmic reticulum?
Construction organelle; make protein for the cell and for export out of the cell
What are ribosomes?
Unicellular; lacks internal membrane, no organelles, no nucleus.
What is prokaryotic
Unicellular or multicellular; membrane bound nucleus, organelles
What is eukaryotic
The storage bubble; food materials or wastes may be located here. Materials enter and leave the cell using this organelle
What are vacuoles
The two differences between plant and animal cells
1. Plant cells have cell walls. 2. Plant cells have chloroplasts
Cells interact with their environment (ECF)
What is 1. diffusion 2. osmosis 3. active transport 4. endocytosis 5. exocytosis
