Test #1

Biomolecule A molecule that is produced by a living organism
4 categories of biomolecules Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids
Carbohydrates Group of chemicals that store energy and provide for an organism
3 types of carbohydrates Sugar, starches, and cellulose
Sugars Small simple carbohydrates

Disaccharides 2 sugars
Polysaccharides many sugars
Animals store energy in polysaccharides called _______________ glycogen
plants store energy in polysaccharides called _____________________ Starch
Starch become simple sugars for energy
Cellulose A carbon that is the main substance in plant cell walls
Lipids A group[ of chemicals that include fats, oils, waxes , phospholipids and steroids
when energy needs to restored for a long time carbohydrates can be converted to fat

Element a substance that cannot be Broken down by chemical process into simpler substances
Compound 2 or more elements chemically combined
Atom fundamental unit of all elements
Protons have a _______________ charge Positive
Electrons have a _______________ charge negative
neutrons have a ________________ charge neutral
Nucleus central part of atom composed of protons and neutrons .
Electrons ____________ the __________________ surround the nucleus
Elements will usually __________________________________ have the same number of protons and electrons to balance to out
Atomic Number the number of protons in the atom
Atomic symbol Short representation for the name of the element
Atomic mass average massif the element of protons and neutrons
Protons + neutrons = _____________________ Atomic mass
Atomic mass - protons = ___________________ neutrons
Ion an item of an element that has lost or gained an electron
positive ion Atoms that loose electrons
negative ion Atom that an gains electron
isotope atom has different number of neutrons but same number of protons
Atoms of same element _________________________ always have the same number of protons but can have different numbers of neutrons
chemical bond` Hold atoms together to form compound
Ionic bond transfer of electrons
covalent bond sharing of electrons
Molecules 2 or more atoms chemically joined together (H2O)
non- polar covalent bonds are shared equally
polar Covalent bonds are not shared equally
Biology The study of life
Organism term for all living things
Spontaneous generation a belief that life begins when a force enters a nonliving thing
Spontaneous generation was proven _______________________ Wrong
Biogenesis A principal that all life comes only from life
Biogenesis was proven ______________ Right
Francesco Redi Experiment Do maggots emerge from a force entering the meat or from flies?
Meat in open jar Maggots appeared
Meat in sealed jar Maggots did not appear (flies could not enter the jar)
Meat in jar with cloth Maggots did not appear - a theoretical force could enter the meat but flies could not enter
Reid's experiment supported _______________ Biogenesis
5 characteristics of all living things Organization, Energy, Growth/development, reproduction, Response/ adaption
Organization Living things are highly organized
Energy Organisms take I energy from the environment and use it for their life processes
Growth/development increase in size/ change in shape or form
Reproduction The process through which new living thing are formed
Response/ adaption respond to environmental stimuli/ population of organisms respond to long term changes in their surroundings
Organization of life Atom/ molecule, cell, tissue, organ, organ system, individual/organism, population, community, ecosystem, biosphere
preditor an organism that kills and eats another organism
Pray An organism that gets killed and eaten
symbiosis relationships in which different species depend on each other
Mutualism Both partners benefit from the relationship ex: Flower and bee
Commensalism One partner benefits and the other partner is unaffected ex: Cow and bird
Parasitism one partner benefits from the relationship while the other is harmed
Atom / molecule Basic unit of a chemical element and 1 or more atoms bonded together
cell the smallest units of life capable of carrying out all of the functions of living things
Tissue A group of calls that work together to preform a specific function
Organ 2 or more types of tissues working together to preform a specific function
Organ system organs working together to preform a function
Individual/ organism any living thing
population group of similar organisms in the same place
Community interacting populations in a given area
Echosystem all of the community's and nonliving things in am area
Biosphere all ecosystems in the world - the thin layer of air, land and water that is home to all living things on earth
Chemical reaction One or more substances are changed into new substances by breaking or forming chemical bonds
___________ is needed to either form or break chemical bonds energy
_________________ can speed up a reaction heat
catalyst substance that speeds up or slows down a reaction also being changed or used up in the reaction
In addition to heat, chemical reactions can also be sped with a ___________________ Catalyst
Living organisms use protein catalyst called _____________ enzymes
Enzymes protein catalyst
Metabolism Combination of all of the chemical changes that take place in an organism
Metabolism is needed ___________________________________________________ to obtain and use energy to preform body functions
Homeostasis tenancy of an organism to maintain stable internal conditions
Solution a uniform mixture of 2 or more substances
Solute The substance that is dissolved in a solution (sugar)
Solvent dissolving substance
hydrogen bonds weak chemical bonds between hydrogen and other atoms
Polar molecules unequal sharing of electrons - opposites attract
Cohesion water molecules sticking together
Water molecules cling to each other through _____________________ hydrogen bonds
cohesion produces __________________ surface tension
water travels __________________ upward
Xylem the tubes water goes up
_______________ hydrogen atom clings to a ______________ oxygen atom on a _______________________ positive, negative, different water molecule
Expansion water expands when frozen
does ice float? why or why not? yes, frozen water is less dense than liquid water
Hydrogen bonding results in the ________________ structure of ice crystal
Stimulus response an organisms response to different aspects in their environment over short periods of time ex: tiger and sun/shade
Evolve organisms also adapt to their environment over long periods of time ex: polar bears
Extinction some organisms are unable to adapt to their environment and do not survive ex: saber tooth tiger
Observation the begging process of science is to look at the world and ask questions
Hypothesis possible explanation for an event or set of observation
scientific method Observation, hypothesis, experiment, results, conclusion
Experiments The process of finding evidence and seeing weather or not it supports the hypothesis
Results The raw data that is discovered an the process of doing an experiment
Conclusion Studying the results and seeing if they support the hypothesis
Hypothesis is a _______________________ if (hypothesis) Then (conclusion)
variable factors that change in an experiment
Theory hypothesis supported by many experiments done over a period of time
Control factors remain the same in an experiment
Louis Pasteur supports _____________________ biogenesis
Louis Pasteurs question __________________ Surgical patients kept on dying of infection - why?
germ theory A theory that germs can lead to disease
Louis Pasteur's Observation __________________________________________________________ Micro organisms can grow in broth - where there was previously not visible life
Louis Pasteur's Hypothesis ___________________________________________________________ If the broth is exposed to the dust then bacteria will grow in broth
Louis Pasteur's experiment Pasteur took 2 flasks filled with broth each flask has a curved neck. Pasteur boiled the broth in each flask. Pasteur broke off the neck on one flask and left the neck on the other flask.
