3 ways you can tell apart a plant and an animal cell
What are: Plants cells have a wall, chloroplasts and are squared. (Also accept plant cells are usually green, chlorophyll and have a larger vacuole.)
100
This is a statement NOT a question saying what you think will happen in the experiment
What is an Hypothesis?
100
All matter is made up these.
What are atoms?
100
These are the four types of organic molecules
What is carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids?
100
The breaking down of large complex molecules in smaller simpler molecules. Enzymes help speed up this process.
What is Digestion?
200
This organelle selects what can pass thru into the cell. It's like a bouncer at a club or party.
What is the cell membrane?
200
The variable that is not added to the control group.
What is the independent variable?
200
Atoms are made up of these 3 particles.
What are protons, neutrons and electrons?
200
This indicator is used to test for simple sugars (glucose)
What is benedict's solution?
200
Two factors that might affect the rate of enzyme reaction
What are temperature and pH?
300
This organelle converts glucose in to ATP (energy) by cellular respiration. It also looks like a maze.
What is the mitochondria?
300
These must be kept the same in both the experimental and control groups in a controlled experiment
What are all other variable except the independent variable?
300
The building blocks of lipids
What are Fatty Acids?
300
This indicator is used to find out how acidic or basic a substance might be.
What is pH paper?
300
Because animals use the oxygen that plants makes and plants use the carbon dioxide that animals make photosynthesis and respiration and said to be in the a
What is a cycle?
400
This organelle stores excess food and water. Usually larger in plant cells.
What is the vacuole?
400
This is the best way to increase validity (how believable it is) in an experiment.
What is to increase the sample size?
400
These are the building blocks or Nucleic acids.
What is nucleic bases?
400
These are made up of many simple sugars such as glucose connected by chemical bonds. Therefore they are carbohydrates too.
What are starche?
400
These are said to be opposites. As shown by their chemical formulas.
What are photosynthesis and respiration?
500
Here is where DNA is kept. It controls all the functions in the cell.
What is the Nucleus?
500
This is the variable that is affected by the other variable.
What is dependent variable?
500
Enzymes are examples of this organic group
What is Proteins
500
The building blocks of proteins
What is Amino Acids?
500
These are like the veins of the plant that only carry water from the roots up.
What is xylem?
