What is all natural events have natural causes?
What does "organic" mean?
What is carbon-containing, carbon backbone, or made by an organism?
This is the definition of cell theory.
The smallest organisms are made up of 1 or more cells that come from preexisting cells.
This was developed in 1972 to illustrate how cell membranes are constructed.
What is the Fluid Mosaic Model?
This step of the scientific method is the result of curiosity while observing a natural event.
What is a question?
This is the reason why atoms react with other atoms to form molecules.
What is to fill or empty the outermost shell; to become inert?
Organic molecules are synthesized with this process.
What is dehydration synthesis?
Cell membranes are primarily made up of 2 layers of this molecule.
What are phospholipids?
This membrane protein forms a "hallway" that regulates the passage of specific hydrophilic molecules (ex: ions) into and outside of the cell.
What are transport proteins?
This structure allows cells to move, divide, keep shape, and move organelles.
What is the cytoskeleton?
The movement of molecules from areas of high concentration to low concentration.
What is diffusion?
This organelle is responsible for making proteins by translating RNA.
What are ribosomes?
When the concentration of water outside of the cell is less than the water concentration inside the cell.
What is hypertonic?
Name the dependent variable of the heart rate lab.
What is heart rate (BPM)?
20 varieties of these build up one of the most versatile macromolecules in your body.
What are amino acids.
This organelle of the endomembrane system synthesizes all of the parts that make up cellular membranes. Some regions have and lack ribosomes.
What is the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)?
Actively engulfing food or other particles and bringing them into the cell.
What is endocytosis?
