100
All living things are made of the small units.
What are cells?
100
These are molecules that are made of sugars.
What are carbohydrates?
100
These molecules do not mix with water.
What are lipids?
100
A substance that is made of 2 or more of the same atoms joined together. Example: H2O
What is a molecule?
100
These molecules are the directions for making a protein.
What is a nucleic acid?
200
These are the instructions for building an organism. It is our genetic information.
What is DNA
200
These are sugars made of one sugar.
What are simple carbohydrates or monosaccharides.
200
This substance's job is to protect the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
200
These are substances made of 2 or more different atoms. Example: C6H12O6 (glucose)
What is a compound?
200
This is a form of energy for organisms.
What is ATP?
300
This type of reproduction is done by bacteria and results in offspring that are identical to the parent.
What is asexual reproduction?
300
These are carbohydrates made of many sugars.
What are complex carbohydrates or polysaccharides.
300
This is how animals store lipids.
What is fat?
300
These proteins speed up reactions.
What are enzymes.
300
This is an example of a nucleic acid. We get it from our parents.
What is DNA?
400
This is the sum of all the activities that an organism performs.
What is metabolism?
400
This complex carbohydrate is commonly called fiber.
What is cellulose!
400
This is how plant's store lipids.
What is oil?
400
These are the small building blocks of proteins.
What are amino acids?
400
This means 3 in the word ATP?
What is tri?
500
This word means internal balance. Shivering is an example of this.
What is homeostasis?
500
These carbohydrates are made of 2 sugars. Lactose is an example.
What are disaccharides!
500
These lipids make up the cell membrane. They have a head and two tails.
What is a phospholipid?
500
These protein is responsible for carrying oxygen and is found in our blood cells.
What is hemoglobin?
500
These are the building blocks of nucleic acids.
What is a nucleotide?
