100

The body system that is responsible for making sure we take in enough oxygen.

What is the respiratory system?

100

In a saltwater solution, this is the solute. 

What is salt?

100

The monomer of proteins. 

What are amino acids?

100

This organelle stores DNA. 

What is the nucleus/nucleolus?

100

The 3 elements found in carbohydrates.

What are carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen?

200

This body system makes sure that oxygen-rich blood travels to all of our muscles so that they may make ATP.

What is the circulatory system?

200

An environment with more solutes than the neighboring environment. 

What is hypertonic?

200
This nitrogenous base is found in RNA but not DNA.

What is Uracil?

200

This organelle is where cellular respiration occurs to make ATP. 

What is a mitochondrion?

200

Proteins that speed up chemical reactions, such as digestion. 

What are enzymes?

300

This body system reacts to stimuli from our environment and sends signals through our body to maintain homeostasis. 

What is the nervous system?

300

The direction of moving from high to low concentration.

What is along the concentration gradient?

300

The three parts of a nucleotide.

What are a ribose sugar, a phosphate, and a N base?

300

The jelly-like fluid that fills up the inside of the cell. 

What is cytoplasm?

300

The type of chemical bond formed when two atoms share electrons. 

What is a covalent bond?

400

This body system contains the bean-shaped organs that filter water waste.

What is the excretory system?

400

Because salt cannot pass through the cell membrane, water will move for it due to this phenomenon. 

What is osmosis?

400

These organelles read RNA and use it as instructions to assemble proteins. 

What are ribosomes?

400
This organelle is found in both plants and animals, but will be larger in many plant cells as it helps plants stand tall. It will also be larger in small, freshwater organisms, where it helps pump out excess water. 

What is the vacuole?

400

The type of bond formed between water molecules, or between two strands of DNA, where one positive part of a molecule is attracted to a negative part of a molecule, or vice versa. 

What are hydrogen bonds?

500

These molecules, such as serotonin, testosterone, estrogen, dopamine, and oxytocin travel through our bloodstream to send messages across our bodies. 

What are hormones?


500

Molecules with these two properties can typically pass through the cell membrane on their own. 

What are small and hydrophobic?

500

The number of different amino acids found in the human body. (For double points, how many are hydrophobic/hydrophilic?)

What is 20? (10/10)

500
This organelle produces phospholipids, which can form membranes for the cell or other organelles. 

What is the smooth ER?

500

The three parts of an atom, with their charges. 

What are protons (+), neutrons (o), and electrons (-)?
