Hypothesis
All living things are made of this.
Cells
Carbohydrates are made of
Sugar
One element that makes up most of the bodies of living things
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen
The type of macromolecule that makes up enzymes
Protein
The group that doesn't change in an experiment
Control group
All living things make more of themselves through
reproduction
Fatty acids are the building blocks of
Lipids
A chain of many molecules
polymer
Enzymes do this to chemical reactions
Speed up, lower activation energy
The variable that you change or manipulate
Independent variable
One thing that is true of all living things is
cells, water, organization, reproduction, growth, homeostasis
Protein
The left side of the arrow in a chemical reaction is the
reactants
The reactants that fit into the enzyme are called
An experiment is done to test blue light on plant growth. The dependent variable is
Plant growth
This is inside the cells of all living things
DNA
The purpose or importance of nucleic acids is
Stores genetic information
In the reaction CO2 + H2O --> H2CO3 the H2CO3 is the ______
product
Lowering the temperature for an enzyme will do this to the rate of reaction
Lower it, slow it down
An experiment is done to test blue light on plant growth. List one variable that should be controlled in the experiment.
type of plant, amount of light, amount of soil, amount of water, size of pot
Maintaining balance or stable inner conditions in an organism
Homeostasis
A food that contains simple carbohydrates such as disaccharides is
candy, pop, cookies, white bread, etc.
The energy needed to start a chemical reaction
Activation energy
When an enzyme has changed shape and can no longer function, it is called this
Denatured
