Scientific Method
"If I _____, then _____ will happen" is generally a good start to this part of the scientific method
Hypothesis
This is where DNA is stored in a cell
Nucleus
Contains chlorophyll and is the site of photosynthesis
Chloroplasts
Living organisms maintain this, which is done by the aid of receptors, a control center, and effectors in the body
Homeostasis
paramecia and an amoeba are examples of this type of organism
unicellular
This variable is manipulated in a scientific experiment
Independent variable
These produce proteins in a cell
Ribosomes
This pigment is found in chloroplasts and responsible for the green color of plants
Chlorophyll
Single celled organisms that lack a nucleus and organelles
Prokaryote
positive
This variable is affected by the change in the experiment
Dependent variable
In the presence of oxygen, this is the site of energy production in the cell by converting glucose into usable ATP (energy)
Mitochondria
Ribosomes are found here. This organelle transports proteins throughout the cell
Rough Endoplasmic reticulum
Multi-celled organisms that have a defined nucleus and organelles
Eukaryotes
All living organisms must reproduce. _______ celled organisms are more complex than unicellular organisms.
Daily double to follow this question!
Multi-celled.
they produce germ cells and pass genetic info via DNA
This variable is affected by gravitational force, thus will change if you went to the moon
This semi-permeable membrane surrounds the cytoplasm and serves as a "bouncer" to let certain materials into and out of a cell
Cell Membrane
aids in lipid steroid synthesis, calcium release in muscle cells, and breakdown of lipid toxins in the cell
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
DNA, ribosomes, cytoplasm, and a plasma membrane are shared characteristics of these cells
prokaryotes and eukaryotes
Similar species of birds on neighboring islands have different beak length to better suit catching prey. What characteristic of life is this an example of?
Growth and development
Daily Double!
Refer to the board
Due to more graduated marks, causing less error %
or*
Higher error % on beaker due to less graduated marks
Golgi Bodies
Daily Double!
refer to board
chloroplast, cell wall, and vacuole
This characteristic of life allows for biologists to classify an organism
Order
How many characteristics of life are needed to be present in order for an organism to be considered living?
All of them
