Is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe.
What is Science?

This theory states that all organisms are made of cells.
What is the cell theory?
100
Organisms that make their own food.
What is an autotroph?
100
Process in which the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell divides.
What is Mitosis?
100
The passing of characteristics from parents to offspring.
What is Heredity?
200
A special type of scientific investigation performed under controlled conditions.
What is an Experiment?
200
The basic unit of structure capable of performing the functions of life.
What is a cell?
200
Gives you the ability to do work.
What is Energy?
200
First phase of mitosis during which chromatin condense into chromosomes, the nuclear envelope breaks down, centrioles separate, and a spindle begins to form.
What is Prophase?
200
Segment of DNA that codes for a single protein or RNA. Controls what characteristics are expressed
What is a gene?
300
A hypothesis that can be proven wrong.
What is a scientific hypothesis?
300
Contains DNA, or the genetic material, of the cell
What is the Nucleus?
300
The cycle that makes glucose into six carbon atom.
What is the Krebs cycle?
300
A pair of chromosomes where the two chromosomes are of the same size and shape and contain the same genes.
What is Homologous chromosomes?
300
The law states that there are two factors controlling a given characteristic in which one dominates the other. These factors separate during reproduction and go to different gametes, or a mature reproductive cell that eventually unites with another gamete to reproduce.
What is Law of Segregation?
400
Lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids.
What are the four major types of organic compounds?
400
Plasma membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes, and DNA.
What are the four parts that are found in living cells?
400
When a photon hits a chlorophyll molecule in photosystem II, exiting its electrons.
What is the light reactions?
400
Divides the chromosomes in a cell nucleus.
What is Mitosis?
400
The factors controlling the different characteristics are inherited separately and therefore are not related.
What is Law of Independent Assortment?
500
Made of cells, need energy, need to reproduce, produce waste, have to adapt to their environment, and have to have a life span.
What are the six characteristics of all living things?
500
These three people developed the cell theory.
Who are Schwann, Schleiden,and Virchow?
500
Light reactions & Calvin cycle stages
What are the stages of photosynthesis?
500
A disease caused by an uncontrolled division of abnormal cells in a part of the body.
What is Cancer?
500
Plant height, seed shape, pod color, pod shape, flower position, seed color, pea color.
What are the seven characteristics that Mendel investigated in pea plants?
