Scientific Method
This is a predicted solution to a problem or answer to a question, and often follows the format "If... then... because..."
What is a hypothesis?
This is the smallest (most specific) hierarchical taxonomic category.
What is a species?
This structure is found in plant and algal cells only, and aids in photosynthesis.
What is a chloroplast?
This is an interaction between two organisms, and can be beneficial or harmful.
What is symbiosis?
This organelle houses the DNA for the cell.
What is a nucleus?
These are factors in the experiment that are changed to produce a result.
What are independent variables?
This is the largest hierarchical taxonomic category.
What is a domain?
This structure is found in plant and fungal cells to give them rigidity. It is not found in animal cells.
What is a cell wall?
This is symbiosis between two organisms in which both organisms benefit.
What is mutualism?
This organelle provides energy for the cell.
What is a mitochondrion (mitochondria)?
These are factors in the experiment that are measured to show an effect.
What are dependent variables?
This phylum includes humans.
What is Chordata?
A heterotrophic cell from a multicellular organism that lacks a cell wall and chloroplasts most likely belongs to this kingdom.
What is Animalia (Animals)?
This is a symbiosis in which one partner benefits and the other is harmed.
What is parasitism?
This organelle makes proteins.
What is a ribosome?
This is a test subject that is used as the standard of comparison.
What is a control?
This phylum includes insects.
What is Arthropoda (or Arthropods)?
An autotrophic cell with chloroplasts and cell walls most likely belongs to this kingdom.
What is Plantae (Plants)?
This is a symbiosis in which one partner benefits and one partner neither benefits nor is harmed.
What is commensalism?
This organelle modifies, sorts, and packages molecules for transport.
What is a Golgi apparatus (Golgi body)?
This is the reason it is important to repeat experiments in the scientific process.
What is, to ensure that the results are reliable?
This kingdom consists of organisms that are heterotrophic, multicellular, and lack cell walls.
What is Kingdom Animalia (Animals)?
A multicellular organism with cells that lack chloroplasts but has cell walls most likely belongs to this kingdom.
What is Fungi?
This is the symbiosis that shows the relationship between a mosquito and a human.
What is parasitism?
This organelle is an enclosed structure full of water, found mainly in plant cells.
What is a vacuole?
