Scientific Method
This is an educated guess after doing research.
What is a Hypothesis?
The number of Protons in an atom as well as it's location on the periodic table.
The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to make glucose from carbon dioxide and water.
What is Photosynthesis?
The ability to do work.
What is Energy?
The natural coloring matter of animal or plant tissue.
What is Pigment?
The variable that I as a scientist am changing.
What is the Independent Variable?
This is the part of an atom is comprised of proton and neutrons.
What is an Atomic Nucleus?
These are the two molecules that act as reactants for photosynthesis.
What are CO2 and H2O?
The entire range of electromagnetic waves with different frequencies and wavelengths.
What is the Electromagnetic Spectrum?
An organelle that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place.
What is a Chloroplast?
This is the Variable that you are measuring and recording.
What is Dependent Variable?
A group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound.
What is a Molecule?
This part of photosynthesis takes place in the stroma, makes glucose and does not require light.
What are the Light Independent Reactions?
The energy possessed by an object due to its position, composition, electric charge, and other factors.
What is Potential Energy?
A green pigment, present in all green plants and in cyanobacteria, responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis.
What is Chlorophyll?
This is when we should be making observations while using the Scientific Method.
What is at each step?
This is a type of atom that does not have the same number of protons and electrons, so it has a positive or negative net charge.
What is an Ion?
The portion of the electromagnetic spectrum reflected by photosynthetic organisms.
What is Green Light?
This type of Waves does require a medium.
What are Mechanical Waves?
A flattened sac inside a chloroplast, where the light dependant reactions of photosynthesis take place, and arranged in stacks or grana.
What is a Thylakoid?
The variables in an experiment that we try to keep the same each time we run the experiment.
What are the Controlled Variables?
Matter can be rearranged.
Matter can change phase (solid, liquid or gas)
What is the Law of Conservation of Matter?
This group of reactions requires light, water and makes O2.
What are the Light Dependant Reactions?
This type of a wave is resistant to interference, requires less energy and storage space.
What is a Digital Wave?
This is the charged form of a compound used as a cellular battery.
What is Adenosine Triphosphate or ATP?
