| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Where do you find the Independent Variable and Dependent Variable on a graph? | The x-axis is the independent variable and the y-axis is the dependent variable |
| What is an Independent Variable? | that variable which is presumed to affect or determine a dependent variable. It can be changed as required, and its values do not represent a problem requiring explanation in an analysis, but are taken simply as given |
| What is a dependent Varible? | variable dependent on another variable: the independent variable. In simple terms, the independent variable is said to cause an apparent change in, or simply affect, the dependent variable |
| What is a hypothesis? | a proposal intended to explain certain facts or observations |
| What does Mitchondria do? | provides the cell with energy by oxidizing biological fuels such as lipids, proteins, and glucose into ATP |
| What does the RER do? | contains numerous enzymes, most of which are involved in the modification of the nascent protein chain on the cisternal side |
| What does the SER do? | The network of smooth endoplasmic reticulum allows increased surface area for the action or storage of key enzymes and the products of these enzymes |
| What does the Cell Wall do? | Protects the cell. |
| What does the Cell Membrane do? | Controls what enters and leaves the cell |
| What does Chloroplast do? | Absorb light energy , split water and release oxygen, fix CO2 and synthesis organic products ... |
| What does a Golgi do? | It is a special organell found in the sytoplasm of the eukaryotic cell, it functions in the modification of proteins after they are synthesized |
| What do Lysosomes do? | lysosomes digests and recycles used cell components |
| What does the Nucleus do? | The Nucleus is the main control of the cell, it contains DNA |
| What does ribosomes do? | Ribosome are organelles that synthesize proteins for the cell and send protein to the nucleus. Ribosomes can be free floating in the cytoplasm or be attached to the outer surfaces of the rough endoplasmic reticulum and are known as bound ribosomes. |
| What's the difference between prokaryotes and Eukaryotes? | Prokayotes, •Do not have a pre-defined nucleus •Chromosomes are dispersed in the cytoplasm Eukaryotes,Contain true nuclei in which chromosomes are compacted as chromatin |
| What is Osmosis? | passage of water from a region of high water concentration through a semi-permeable membrane to a region of low water concentration |
| What is Diffusion? | the process in which there is movement of a substance from an area of high concentration of that substance to an area of lower concentration |
| What type of Electron is avaliable to form bonds? | Valence |
| Whats the difference betweeen DNA and RNA? | DNA holds the information about you, and RNA reads that information |
| What is Diploid? | cell will have two sets of chromosomes |
| What is Hiploid? | a cell with only one set of chromosomes. |
| What's a Gamete? | mature sexual reproductive cell having a single set of unpaired chromosomes |
| What type of cell division produces gametes? | meiosis |
| When does Crossing over take place? | Prophase |
| When does Independent assortment take place? | metaphase |
| When does a sister chromatids take place? | Mitosis |
| When does Homologous take place? | Meiosis |
| When DNA is copied it's called what? | transcription |
| How many condons are needed to specify two amino acids? | Two |
| What is a gene and what does it do? | Genes determine our physical traits, what you look like, what you inherit from either one of your parents. And everyone has a unique genetic makeup |
| What is genetic recombination? | The process of forming new allelic combination in offspring by exchanges between genetic materials (as exchange of DNA sequences between DNA molecules). |
| What is the difference between a controlled varable and a control in an experiment? | Independent varible doesnt change, The Dependent Varable depends on the IV. |
| What factors influence enzyme activity? | Temperature,pH, |
| What are Catalysts? What's an Enzyme? | a substance which alters the rate of a chemical reaction but is chemically unchanged at the end of the reaction. |
| What are the characteristics of life? | Cells,Organization, Energy Use,Homostatious, Growth, and Reproduction. |
| What's an Enzyme? | Biological Catalysts. |
| What are the phases of a cell cycle? | G1 phase, S phase (synthesis), G2 phase (collectively known as interphase) and M phase (mitosis). |
| What is a centromere? | Form in the center of Chromotids, and join the sister chromotids together. |
| What's the phase of mitosis? | Prophase,Metaphase,Anaphase,and Telephase |
| What do buffers do? | Buffers work by reacting with any added acid or base to control the pH. |
| What are Chargaffs rules? | A=T and G=C |
| What is Meiosis? | Meiosis is a two-part cell division process in organisms that sexually reproduce. |
| What is Mitosis? | the process by which a eukaryotic cell separates the chromosomes in its cell nucleus into two identical sets in two nuclei |
| What are reactants? | What you use to make a reaction |
| What are products? | The outcome of a reaction |
| What is an organelle? | is a specialized subunit within a cell that has a specific function |
| Why are cells small? | To help reproduce, and transfer data. |
| What is a Macromolecule? | a very large molecule commonly created by some form of polymerization |
| What does a diploid refer to? | ◦(genetics) an organism or cell having two sets of chromosomes or twice the haploid number |
| What does a haploid refer to? | (genetics) an organism or cell having only one complete set of chromosomes |
