| What is the study of genomes of an organism? | Genomics |
| What is the study of proteins? | Proteomics |
| What is the study of carbohydrates? | Glycomics |
| What is magnification (in terms of microscopes)? | Making an object appear larger 10X (eyepiece) x 4X (objective) |
| What does TEM stand for? | Transmission Electron Microscope |
| What are transmitted through an object (in TEM)? | Electrons |
| What happens to particles in a TEM? | They are reflected, magnified, and seen. |
| Why must the object be thin (TEM)? | So that electrons can pass through it |
| What does SEM stand for? | Scanning Electron Microscope |
| What does an SEM use beams of? | Electrons |
| What does an SEM show? | Surface details, provides a 3D image |
| What is used more often than a light microscope in laboratories? | TEM and SEM |
| What are fluorescent tags designed to do? | To attach to certain mollecules and fluorsce when they attace, making areas more visible in electron microscopes. |
| What are 6 things all living organisms do? | Reproduce, have cells, contain genetic material (DNA or RNA), grow and develop, adjust to surroundings, and adapt and evolve |
| What is sexual reproduction? | Gametes (sex cells) are passed down from both parents to create a genetically unique offspring. |
| What is asexual reproduction? | All genes are passed of from one parent to the offspring to create an exact genetic copy as the parent. |
| True or False. Organisms that reproduce asexually have a better chance of survival that those that reproduce sexually. | Farue |
| What are 4 types of asexual reproduction and examples of what they occur in? | Binary Fission: occurs in bacteria and algae. Budding: occurs in hydra, fungi, and sponges. Fragmentation: occurs in starfish, plants, and worms. Parthenogenesis: occurs in lizards, sharks, and some small invertebrates. |
| What is the basic unit of life? | Cells |
| What genetic material do cells contain? | Membrane (humans) or wall (animals), and organic compounds (proteins, lipids, carbs) |
| What happens to structures of organisms ans they become older? | The become larger and develop a distinct morphology and function (changing shape) |
| Why do different areas grow at different rates? | Cells, nutrients, different environment |
| What are some advantages and disadvantages to growing? | Survival if large, although there is more competition for food, and they are slower |
| What controls the growth and development of humans and other animals? | Cells, environment |
| What is adjusting to surroundings also known as? | Homeostasis |
| Adjusting to surroundings occurs in response to what? | External factors and requires energy to maintain |
| Why is adjusting to surroundings so important? | So you don't die |
| What are some factors that your body controls through homeostasis? | Temperature, pH, water-salt (expensions), pathogens (viruses), chemical movement |
| What are some homeostasis examples of responding to heat? | Sweat (evaporation), Close stomata (keep water from evaporating), Make spores-[mini forcefields] |
| What are some homeostasis examples of responding to cool? | Shiver (divert blood to internal organs so they don't die), Lose leaves (deciduous), Make spores |
| What are some homeostasis examples of responding to lack of nutrients? | Burn fat or utilize fermentation, take up oxygen (photorespiration), make spores or switch energy |
| What are some homeostasis examples of responding to pathogens? | Immune systems, vomit, sneeze, cut off leaf that is infected |
| How do you adjust to your surroundings? | Find food, prevent yourself from being food, eat what's available, remember what foods are poisonous, survinving changes in the environment (natural disasters, change in resource availability) |
| What is a trait or behavior that helps an organism survive and reproduce better in their environment? | Adaption |
| What is a change over time in organisms? | Evolution |
| What controls adaption and evolution? | DNA, environment |
| What are 7 examples of plant adaptions? | Positive photoropism, geotropism, Thigmotropism, Shade tolerance, different leaf sizes or shapes, chemical defenses, fire resistance |
| What is positive phototropism? | Plants growing towards light |
| What is geotropism? | A plant seed's ability to grow in the right direction |
| What is thigmotropism? | The plant alters it's growth based on touch or pressure |
| What are 5 examples of animal adaptions? | Fight or flight responses, seasonal eating or mating patterns, camouflage and mimicry, instinctual behavior, physical defense |
| Life requires what that force organisms to decide what is most important for surviving in their particular environment? | Trade-offs (opportunity costs) |
| What leads to evolution that assist organisms in surviving within their environment? | Adaptions |
| What is the driving force of survival within populations of organisms? | Evolution |
| What is required to understand science? | Attention to detail, Carrying out standard procedures, Observing details, Recording details, Nothing strange results (acorn) |
| How does science advance? | Sharing information, Technological advances, Understanding connections, Disproving hypotheses, Investigating problems, Observations and inferences (studio) |
| How is an observation different from an inference? | You observe something as it is happening with your senses, you make an inference about something even if you did not directly oveserve it happening |
| What are some components of a good experiment? | Testable hypothesis, Large sample size, Consistency within the experimental and control groups, Good explanation of the experimental procedure, Through observations of data, Inferences and conclusion, Explanations |
| What is an independent variable? | What is being tested and changed by the experimenter |
| What is a dependent variable? | What the experimenter is observing to determine the results of the experiment |
| If we change the independent variable, then what do we observe? | The dependent variable |
| What is the group that recieves the addition or subtraction of the independent variable? | Experimental Group |
| What is the group that does not recieve the independent variable and contains a group of organisms that are not changed in any abnormal way? | Control Group |
| What to Scientific Theories explain? | How or why a particular process is believed to occur |
| What is made once a large amount of evidence is observed to support it (not just a random guess)? | Scientific Theories |
| What are some examples of scientific theories? | Theory of Evolution, Theory of plate tectonics, theory of relativity, big bang theory, atomic theory |
| What is an explanation of certain principles that occur in the universe? | Scientific Laws |
| What doesn't indicate how or why, although idenifies what is happening under certain conditions? | Scientific Laws |
| How do you create a scientific method? | Obtain background info, state the problem, form a hypothesis, set-up an experiment, perform an experiment, collect and analyze data, draw conclusions, compare with peers |
