Scientific Method
After I observe something, I will ask this.
What is a question?
This is the process by which a living organism increases its size.
A single bacterium or protist is made of this many cells. (Hint: It is the least amount of cells an organism can be made of.)
What is one?
This is the jelly like substance that holds all of the organelles within a cell.
What is cytoplasm?
If the nucleus is the town hall of the cell, this would be the mayor.
What is the nucleolus?
This is the information I would get after observing an experiment.
What is data?
All living things react and adapt to this thing that surrounds them.
What is the environment?
This is a structure that performs a specific function in a cell.
What is an organelle?
This is called the powerhouse of the cell.
What is a mitochondria?
If the cell wall of a plant cell would be the walls of a fortress, this would be the guards who let people in and out of the gates.
What is the cell membrane?
This is the procedure I would go through in order to test a hypothesis.
What is an experiment?
This is the process by with a living organism creates more of itself or its species.
What is reproduction?
Eukaryotic cells have this, where prokaryotic cells do not.
What is a nucleus?
This organelle creates proteins for the cell.
What is a ribosome?
This organelle is like a recycling center, breaking down waste within the cell.
What is a lysosome?
This is an educated guess for what the answer to my question will be.
What is a hypothesis?
Like all living organisms, humans eat food and convert it into this so that they can continue living.
What is energy?
This is the type of cell that contains chloroplasts and is protected by a cell wall.
What is a plant cell?
This organelle converts sunlight into energy in a process known as photosynthesis.
What is a chloroplast?
This organelle packages proteins for distribution, just like the Postal Service, UPS, FedEx, or Amazon.
What is the Golgi body?
This summarizes the data from the experiment and determines whether our hypothesis was correct.
What is a conclusion?
Living organisms are made up of one or more of these.
What are cells?
Cells that serve specific functions in a body work together to form these.
What are tissues and organs?
This organelle is a storage sac for food, water, and waste.
What is a vacuole?
Just like riding of rough roads and smooth highways, this transportation organelle comes in two forms.
What is endoplasmic reticulum (or E.R.)?
