Organisms exhibit this characteristic that tends to stabilize the effects of environmental change.

What is Homeostasis?

400

This biomolecule contains Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen and Nitrogen. It helps repair and build your body's tissues, allows metabolic reactions to take place and coordinates bodily functions.

What is a Protein?

400

These cells have organelles.

What is are Eukaryotic Cells?

400

The process of molecules moving from a high concentration to a low concentration through a protein channel.

What is Facilitated Diffusion?

400

This property of an RNA molecule structure allows it be "read" by the ribosome.

What is being Single Stranded (or Open on one side)?

800

A scientist observes honey bees going from one flower to another in his garden. This is what he must do before he conducts an experiment about the honey bees.

What is Make a Hypothesis?

800

A single unit of a carbohydrate is called this.

What is Glucose (or a Monosaccharide)?

800

This molecule "opens" DNA to be read during protein synthesis.

What is RNA Polymerase?

800

A protein in the cell membrane is able to move molecules without energy, meaning it is this type of cell transport.

What is Passive Transport?

800

A single strand of DNA is as follows:

ATCGGG 

This would be be corresponding side of this DNA molecule.

What is TAGCCC?

1200

This characteristic of life explains a plant leaning towards sunlight.

What is Respond to Stimuli?

1200

These biomolecules make up the membranes of all cells and are used for long term energy storage.

What are Lipids?

1200

The Endoplasmic Reticulum is an organelle that is important to the functions in cells. It does this.

What is Transportation?

1200

When a cell swells and fills with water, it would be found in this type of solution.

What is Hypotonic?

1200

The process where the template strand of DNA is read by a protein and a strand of RNA is synthesized.

What is Transcription?

1600

This must be done before making a hypothesis.

What is Make an Observation?

1600

This type of energy is used to kick off the process of making Glucose.

What is Solar Energy (or Sunlight)?

1600

These two structures are found in plant cells but not in animal cell.

What are Cell Walls, Chloroplasts, Large Vacuoles, Chlorophyll or Plastids?

Need at least 2 of these for a correct answer.

1600

A sodium pump used ATP, making the pump this type of cell transport.

What is Active Transport?

1600

The process that occurs using ribosomes to read mRNA and synthesize proteins.

What is Translation?

2000

Jason tried a new fertilizer called MegaGro™ on his garden. He said, "I used it on all my tomato plants this year, and they grew much better than they did last year! MegaGro™ is fantastic!" 

This is what is missing from Jason's experiment to make it scientifically valid.

What is a Control Group?

2000

Specific enzymes in your intestine enable you to break down starch and use the glucose molecules. This is made possible by these found on enzymes, which allow substrates to bind properly.

What are Active Sites?

2000

These are the three statements that make up the Cell Theory.

What is:

1. All living things made of cells

2. Cells are basic unit of structure and function

3. Cells only come from preexisting cells

2000

This is when a cell loses water and shrinks.

What is Hypertonic?

2000

This is the significance of if the G2 phase after DNA replication has occurred.

What is ensuring Replication happens without Errors (or Fixing Errors)?
