Midterm Review

QuestionAnswer
Scientific Method 1) Ask a question 2) Create a hypothesis 3) Set up a controlled experiment 4) Record, collect, analyze data 5) Make a conclusion
Experimental vs. Control set ups Experimental-change one thing(what you're testing) Controlled-(constant) no changes made. Serves as basis for comparison with the experimental setup
Microscope parts and functions Also part of answer: Mirror-reflects light into microscope Fine adjustment- sharpens the image Ocular-looking-eye piece to specimen Coarse adjustment-focus specimen Nosepiece-able to change powers Objectives-magnifying lens Stage-flat surface to put slip on Stage clips-holds slip in place Diaphragm-controls light coming through lens
calculate the total magnification Total Magnification: eye piece X Objects (10X) X (4x) OR (10x) OR (40x)
Metric Units Meter(m)=Length Liter(L)=Volume Kilogram(kg)=Mass Celsius(C)=Temperature
Periodic Table Atomic #- number of protons in atom(each element has specific # Mass-total number of protons and neutrons in the atom *study a periodic table and how to tell what is what in the element square *to find # of neutrons, subtract atomic # from the mass #
Types of mixtures Solutions- mixture in which all components are evenly Suspension- mixture off water and some non dissolved material
pH scale pH scale- shows the concentration of H+ and OH- ions. Each step represents a factor of 10. Ex: a substance with a pH of 4 has 10X as many H+ ions as a substance with a pH of 5 Acid(H+)0------Neutral(H20)7-----Basic(OH-)14
What is ions and how does it form? ions-(charged particles) form as a result of an ionic bond
What are protons, neutrons, and electrons Protons-positive charged(+), found in nucleus Neutrons-no charge, found in nucleus Electrons-negative charge(-), found outside the nucleus
Covalent and Ionic bonds Covalent-bond formed by the SHARING of electrons Ionic-bond formed by the TRANSFER of electrons
What makes a compound organic? the presence of carbon
What are examples, building blocks, and dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis of Carbohydrates? Starches and sugars(pasta), monosaccharides(BB)- single sugar
What are examples, building blocks, and dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis of lipids? fats and oils(oilve oil), fatty acids(BB)
What are examples, building blocks, and dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis of proteins? (chicken and peanut butter), amino acid(BB)
What are examples, building blocks, and dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis of nucleic acids? DNA and RNA, nucleotides(BB)
What are enzymes and what do they do? control the rate of reactions
Eukaryota vs. Eukaryota Prokaryotes are small simple cells, has NO nucleus, ex: bacteria Eurkaryotes- large complex nucleus, has a necleus, ex: plant, animal cell
What are the organelles and their functions Organelle- nucleus- Chromatin- Nucleolus- Ribosome- RER- SER- Golgi Apparatus- Lysosome- Vaculoes- Mitocondria- Chloroplast- Cytoskelton- Cell Membrane- Cell Wall- Centrioles-
Plant cells vs. animal cells Animal cell does not have a cell wall or a cholorplast but the Plant does
What is diffusion and osmosis and how they work? Diffusion- the movement of materials from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration, no energy, form in Passive Transport Osmosis- the diffusion of water, effects: ~Isotonic-nothing ~Hypertonic-shrivels ~Hpotonic-swells
What is endocytosis and exocytosis? Endocytosis-exports materials OUT of the cell Exocytosis-imports materials INTO the cell
Steps of cellular respiration? Glycolysis-breakdown of glucose Krebs Cycle-pyruvic acids are broken down into carbon dioxide in energy-extracting reactions Electron TRansport Chain- uses high engery electrons from krebs cycle to convert ADP to ATP
Equation of cellular respiration? C6H12O6 + 6O2 ---> 6CO2 + 6H2O + Engery
What is the function of ATP? used to store and release engery
Anaerobic vs. aerobic repiration Anaerobic- no oxygen Aerobic- requires oxygen
Lactic Acids vs. Alcoholic fermentation Lactic Acids- produces lactic acids Alcoholic fermentation-produces carbon dioxide and schohol
Equation of photosnythesis 6CO2 + 6H2O --> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Autotroph vs. Heterotroph Autotroph- make their own food Heterotroph- do not make their own food, consume their food
How do photosnthesis and respiration compare to each other? Each others ending products are each others starting reactants
Where does photosynthesis happen? Chloroplast
What is the visible spectrum? light wavelengths visivble to the eye as different colors
Structure and shape of DNA? double helix, made up of nucleotide(1. 5-carbon sugar, 2. Phosphate group, 3. nitrogenous base(adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine))
What scientists were involved in the structure of DNA? Griffith-genetic info. could be transferred from 1 bacterium to another Avery-discovered DNA stores/transmits genetic info. from 1 generation to the next Hershey/Chase-DNA was genetic material Watson/Crick- double-helix model as structure of DNA
What is the difference between DNA and RNA? 1. Sugar in RNA is ribose and DNA is deoxyribose 2. RNA is single stranded, DNA is double stranded 3. RNA contains URACIL, DNA has thmine
What are the bases in DNA and RNA? DNA- Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, Cytosine RNA- Adenine, Uracil, Guanine, Cytosine
How does DNA replicates itself? separates two strands then serves as template to produce new strand, and then two new complenentary strands are produced
Active Transport vs. Passive Transport Active-movement of materials from areas of low concentration to areas of high concentration, requires engery Passive-does not require cellular energy to move concentration

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
