Definition
When the body tempreture is perfect for chemical reactions to take place.
Term
Variable
Definition
A set or item you can control in a experiment.
Term
Compound Light Microscope
Definition
A microscope that is compound and uses light to zoom in on objects up.
Term
Theory
Definition
A hypothesis that has been tested many times and is factual.
Term
Control
Definition
A controlled variable can be controlled.
Term
List 8 characteristics of living things:
Definition
  • Order: Living things need ordered structure to characterize life
  • Evolutionary Adaptation: Living things adapt and evolve over many generations by the reproductive success of those individuals with heritable traits that are best suited for their environments.
  • Response: Living things respond to whats happening around them in their environment
  • Reproduction: Living things need to reproduce their own kind
    Growth and Development: Inherited information carried by genes controls the pattern of growth and development of organisms
  • Regulation: Living things need to be able to regulate themselves in order to maintain homeostasis



 

Term
What do controlled experiments allow the scientists do?
Definition
They allow the scientist to collect and share data to improve our society.
Term
What is the basic unit in the SI system for mass?
Definition
Gram
Term
Neutron
Definition

In a atom, the neutral charge.

 

Term
Lipids
Definition
Any of a class of organic compounds that are fatty acids or their derivatives and are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents...
Term
Ionic Bonds
Definition
Ionic bonds are combinations of ions to form more complex "stuff".
Term
Enzymnes
Definition
A substance produced by a living organism that acts as a catalyst to bring about a specific biochemical reaction.
Term
What subatomic particals are part of the nucleus, and what are not?
Definition
You can find neutrons and protons in the nucleus, you find electrons flowing outside it.
Term
What is the pH of an acid?
Definition
Very high, and an example would be citric acid.
Term
What is a pH of a base?
Definition
Something very low, like starch.
Term
Cell Specialization
Definition
In multicellular organisms, they have organs doing different features.
Term
What element do all organic compounds contain?
Definition
Carbon.
Term
Osmosis
Definition
Diffusion of molecules in water.
Term
Who first viewed cells using a microscope?
Definition
Robert Hooke
Term
List a few organelles and thier purpose:
Definition
  • Nucleus - Holds the DNA of the cell and controls it.
  • Mitochandria - Responsible for many chemical reactions such as fermintation.
  • Lysosome - Clean up the cell "the janitor".
  • Endoplasmic Reticulum - Manufactor and transfer protiens.
Term
The difference between prokayriotes and eukaryotes?
Definition

Is that prokayrotes lack a nucleus, have a cell wall in most cases.  Bacteria is a prokayrote. Unicellular.


Eukaryotes have nucleuses and in some, most cases have cell walls.  Animals do not.  Multicellular.

Term
The function of the _______________ is to give cell support and keep out many of infections.  They make sure and control balance.
Definition
Cell Membrane
Term
Protien Ports and Channels can be found all over the _________ ____________.
Definition
Cell Membrane.
Term
What is the function of the cell wall?
Definition
The cell wall is responsible for keeping many viruses out of the cells, and give the cell, plant support.
Term
How is diffusion and active transport different?
Definition
Active transport requires energy.  Diffusion does not.
Term
The levels of organs / cells:
Definition
  • Cell
  • Cell Tissue
  • Organ
  • Organ System
  • Organism
Term

Definition
They absorb sunlight.
Term
What are some examples of Autotrophs?
Definition
Trees, plants.
Term
Where does the photosynthesis occure?
Definition
Chloroplasts found in cells, chlorophyll.
Term
What are the products in the light reactants?
Definition
  • Oxygen
  • Energy
Term
Factors affect the rate of photosynthsis include:
Definition
Where the leaf is, how cloudy it is, amount of water a plant has.
Term
Why are plants green?
Definition
The chlorophyll.
Term
What would happen to photosynthesis if carbon dioxide was decreased?
Definition
It whas go down and not release as much energy.
Term
What is the eqaution of cellular respiration?
Definition
C6H12O6 + O2 → CO2 + H2O + Energy
Term
What organisms use cellular respiration to gain energy?
Definition
Heterotrophs.
Term
What causes muscle soreness?
Definition
Lake of oxygen getting into cells, so they revert to fermination.
Term
If mucsles cannot get enough energy, they revert to fermination.
Definition
Atlhetes breath due to gaining oxygen into thier muscles.
Term
Photosynthesis gains and stores energy, while the other uses energy.
Definition
Photosynthesis gains and stores energy, while the other uses energy.
