The organelle that controls what enters the cell.

Cell Membrane

100

These are the reactants of cellular respiration (inputs)

Oxygen and Glucose

100

Enzymes do this to a chemical reaction...

Speed it up

100

This is the human body's combination of processes to maintain a stable internal environment.

homeostasis (aka dynamic EQUALibrium)

100

Why does your pulse go up when you exercise? 

Your body needs more oxygen transported to muscles, so the heart beats faster to transport.

200

Organelle that is jelly like...

cytoplasm

200

This is where photosynthesis takes place.

In the chloroplast 🌿🌱

200

Enzymes do this to an activation energy...

lower it

200

Describe Thermoregulation.  (HINT: break the word in half...it will help you :)

Maintaining a stable internal temperature.  Your body strives to achieve this 24/7.

200

Name 3 tests you did on the Botana curus plant to find another plant SIMILAR to it. (* the 🌱 that CURES CANCER)

1- structural evidence (plant parts)

2- paper chromatography (plant colors/pigments)

3- gel electrophoresis 

4- DNA code of the plants (DNA--> mRNA--> amino acid)

300

Type of cells humans are made out of...

Eukaryotic

300

These are the reactants of photosynthesis (inputs)

CO2 and H2O

300

Enzymes function depending on...

Shape (lock and key) πŸ”

300

This is the transport of water into/out of a cell.

osmosis πŸ’¦

300

Which molecules did not cross the cell membrane in making connections because they are SO BIG?

starch

400

A bunch of cells put together....

BONUS 200: If you put these together, the next level is...

tissue--> organ

400

These are the products of cell respiration (what is created)

CO2, H2O and ATP

400

Increasing the temperature for a chemical reaction will...

speed up the reaction until the enzyme is denatured and won't work anymore

400

This is a condition where the human body cannot produce or maintain hormones like glucagon or insulin, making glucose regulation difficult or impossible.

Diabetes 🩸

400

What is a hypothesis? 

An educated guess you are trying to validate (prove) or disprove.  

500

Prokaryotic cells do not have this...

a nucleus 

500

Draw cellular respiration or photosynthesis. 

BONUS 500: draw both!

500

Fill in the blank: increased _________ of enzymes, makes the reaction speed increase.

concentration, number

500

Describe what happens when the body is NOT maintaining homeostasis.  Give an example we have NOT used in another question.  

Answers will vary (diabetes, cancer, growing TOO tall/short, heart failure, any disease, etc.)

500

Why should we use a larger sample size of test subjects when testing an experiment?

Validity-- to make the experiment VALID and show evidence of the data from a bigger "pool of test subjects".
