The Scientific Method |
#1 |
An example is when a scientist accidentally gives one group of mice the wrong food. |
What is 'avoidable error'? |
#2 |
One explains a wide range of observations while the other is an educated guess that is testable. |
What is the difference between a theory and a hypothesis? |
#3 |
An example is: a scientist suggests that the amount of sunlight a plant receives could accelerate its growth. |
What is a hypothesis? |
#4 |
This is the group that allows scientists to make comparisons. |
What is the control group? |
#5 |
This is the single factor that is changed in the experiment. |
What is a variable? |
Cells and Organelles |
#1 |
These cells are large, complex, and have specialized organelles. |
What are eukaryotes? |
#2 |
These cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, and large vacuoles for storing water. |
What are plant cells? |
#3 |
This organelle is responsible for sorting and shipping the proteins out of the cell. |
What is the Golgi body (complex)? |
#4 |
These organelles are responsible for protein synthesis. They may be free-floating in the cytoplasm or attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum. |
What are ribosomes? |
#5 |
This organelle is the site of cellular respiration and, therefore, ATP production. |
What is the mitochondria? |
Photosynthesis and Cell Respiration |
#1 |
This is the first stage of photosynthesis. |
What are the light-dependent reactions? |
#2 |
This is the site of photosynthesis. |
What is the chloroplast? |
#3 |
These are the reactants of photosynthesis. |
What are sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water? |
#4 |
This is the 2nd stage of cellular respiration, provided that oxygen is available. |
What is the Kreb's (citric acid) cycle? |
#5 |
These are the reactants of cell respiration. |
What are glucose, water, and oxygen? |
DNA, RNA, roteins and Genetics |
#1 |
A random change in the genetic code. |
What is a mutation? |
#2 |
This is the first step of protein synthesis. It occurs in the nucleus. |
What is transcription? |
#3 |
This is the 2nd stage of protein synthesis. It occurs on ribosomes either in the cytoplasm or the rough ER. |
What is translation? |
#4 |
There are 4 of these types of cells produced by meiosis. |
What are haploid cells/germ cells/sex cells/gametes? |
#5 |
These are the different possible genetic combinations possible in a sex cell (pollen) of a corn plant with the genotype, Ttyy. |
What is Ty and ty? |
