Science terms
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Taxonomy | - is a classification of organisms into groups based on similarities of structure or origin. |
| Hemophiliac | : A person who has the disease where your blood does not clot enough and bleeds too much within families is an example of how this may occur. |
| Bile | digestive juice secreted by the liver and stored in the gallbladder; aids in the digestion of fats. |
| Carlos Lineaus | : Late 18th Century Swedish Botanist known as the father of taxonomy. He stated the confusion of naming animals and suggested a system of binomial nomenclature with names composed of genus and species of the specific animal. |
| hydrophiliac | “Likes water.” Within a fatty acid the head of the acid is this. |
| John Scopes | was a teacher in Daytona, Tennessee who was charged for violating Tennessee’s Butler act, which prohibited the teaching of evolution in schools. Scopes was a science teacher and the football coach for the high school. |
| Hypertonic | Having a greater degree of tone or tension or higher osmotic pressure in a fluid relative to another fluid |
| Aquaporin | - is proteins embedded in the cell membrane that regulate the flow of water. They are "the plumbing system for cells." |
| Cytoplasmic devision | : Separates the original, its organelles and its contents into two more or less equal halves. |
| ACLU | American Civil Liberties Union. They were a group that believed for people to have the ability to say what they think, whether it is wrong or right |
| Taxa | The name given for the division and categorization of animals. It is the division. |
| Selectively permeable | : The cell wall only lets some objects through |
| Cell membrane | fluid mosaic model also called lipid bi layer consists of carbohydrates, fatty acids and proteins |
| Paul Nurse | : came up with the five great ideas of biology. Nobel prize winner a. The cell b. Gene c. Evolution by natural selection d. Life as chemistry e. Biology as an organized system |
| Kelvin | : scientist in which the scale is named after because he found out that molecules stop moving at -273 C |
| Brownian Movement | the movement at all times : hotter-> faster colder-> slower. Created by Mr. Brown |
| Ovarian Cysts | cysts on ovaries |
| Osmosis | diffusion of water throughout the cell membrane |
| Isotonic | equal pressure in and out |
| Mutations | changes in the genetic sequence main cause of diversity between humans. |
| Bioethics | study of controversies because of adavances in biology |
| Muskox | animal that relates to the phospholipid bilayer in the way that it defends its self |
| Microscope | used to magnifyobjects under different lense. |
| Hooke | the person to name cells |
| Leeuwanhoek | discovered bacteria , free living and parasitic microscope |
| Mitochondria | is an organell that breaks up sugar to create sugar. |
| organell | specialized part of a cell that has a certain function |
| DNA | a genetic material found inside of the chromosome which is inside of the nucleus |
| Lactic Acid | come when you dont have enough oxygem |
| Chromosome | one chromotid coil |
| Bone Marrow | is a special, spongy, fatty tissue that houses stem cells, located inside a few large bones. |
| Darwin | the originator of the concept of natural selection |
| Necleotide | are the single units that make up nucleic acids like RNA and DNA |
| Aerobic | needs oxygen |
| ATP | it is a molecule with three phosphates. And those phosphates hold on to each other, and holding on to each other takes energy. ATP has a high level of energy. It temporary holds energy in your body and always looks for energy to give away. |
| ADP | is a molecule with two phosphates and one phosphate hanging around. It looks for energy to get. (usually from ATP). Has energy but it has to be supplied with something else. |
| Cold sores | they are lesions or bumps usually on the outside of the lips. It is a virus that is transmitted to you by touch and you can never get rid of it. When it is "sleeping" it is not contagious |
| Asexaul reproduction | when an animal cell splits in half and makes two identical animals cells to the original parent cell. An animal is exactly the same as the parent because the cell split in half. The offspring is identical. |
| Fluid Mosaic | - since proteins flow around the fatty acids some say that the cell membrane is like a liquid layer. In a cell membrane everything constantly change and therefore it is sometimes called a fluid mosaic model |
| Lysosome | it comes when the food vacuole is produced. Its membrane is incorporated into waste. Its membrane adds on to the cell membrane in the end because it cannot be digested. It is also known as a suicide sack, it is filled with digestive enzymes. |
| RNA | it is a bio chemical that is a nucleic acid. The other nucleic acid is DNA. |
| Phagocytosis | - the whole process of how a cell eats. (another little cell) |
| Survival of the fit | there are limited resources and an overpopulation that the species is forced to evolve to stay alive. The specie lives on the edge of the specie society however there will be an event where the environment changes |
| Cochlea | snail like thing in your ear. For the older people the end sometimes gets clogged up and they will not be able to hear the high pitches/notes. |
| Wind rose | it indicates were the wind comes from at any period of time. The biggest part shows where the wind blows from. When they build Carrollton the architects did not use a it and therefore the wind comes to the door and goes straight up. |
| Pyruvic Acid | it is half of a sugar. Comes after the anaerobic respiration and therefore does not hurt when you exercise because you have oxygen. |
| Spleen | an organ that recycles worn out blood cells |
| Centromere | where two chromatid’s connect to form the chromosome’ |
| Divergence | differs from convergence, when animals start off looking the same and begin to envolve to their habitat |
| Alfred Wallace | : is best known for independently proposing a theory of evolution due to natural selection that prompted Charles Darwin to publish his own theory |
| Creationist | : a theory of believing exactly what the story of genesis says the opposite of evolution |
| Darwin and Wallace Theory | natural selection, organism best suited to survival in their environment achieve greater reproductive success, thereby passing advantages genetic characteristics on to future generations |
| KREBS CYCLE | Refers to a complex series of chemical reactions in all cells that utilize oxygen as part of their respiration process. |
| E.O Wilson | An American Biologist, researcher, theorist, naturalist and author. His biology specialty is myrmecology, the study of ants. He is known mostly for his secular – humanist and deist view on religious and ethical matters. |
| Viscosity | The measure of a substance’s resistance to flowing; its thickness and stickiness |
| Biodiversity | The range of organisms present in a particular community or system |
| Downsyndrome | known as savants. People with amazing abilities but are disabled. Not strong in all directions but extremely strong in one. Created by the breaking of spindle fibers. |
| Waste Vacuole | A small cavity in the cytoplasm of a cell, bound by a single membrane and containing water, food, or metabolic waste. |
| Food Vacuole | a membrane-enclosed cell vacuole with a digestive function, containing material taken up in by the process of phagocytosis |
| Spindle Fibers | the structure that separates the chromosomes into the daughter cells during cell division. |
| Cervix | narrow passage in the neck. Filled with chemicals that can kill anything alive that goes through it. It is through of mucus and there is a cervix in your neck and in your vagina. |
| Fallopian Tubes | either of two narrow tubes through which a female mammal's eggs pass from either of the ovaries to the womb |
| Ovaries | : either of the two female reproductive organs that produce eggs and, in vertebrates, also produce the sex hormones estrogen and progesterone |
| Ovulate | to ripen and release an egg or eggs from the ovary for possible fertilization |
| Spermatogenenis | the process of producing sperm with half the number of chromosomes |
| adaptation | – how an organism changes to a change in environment |
| preadaptation | variations in animals that give them an advantage to a future environment |
| Virus | microscopic organisms that cause colds |
| Polarbodies | show up on the poles of the egg cell. It is what results from the division of the egg cell |
| Oogenesis | the process of meiosis in female organisms from an oogonium to a primary oocyte, to a secondary oocyte, and then to an ovum. |
| aquired charecteristics | a characteristic of an organism that results from increased use or disuse of an organ or the effects of the environment and cannot be inherited |
| Tumor | : is an abnormal growth of body tissue. They can be cancerous (malignant) or noncancerous (benign |
| Fatty acids | are lipids in the cell membrane that are hydrophobic- they do not like water. |
| Lipidbilayer | is another name for cell membrane that describes two layers of fats |
| Omnipotent | almighty or infinite power cell. “power cell” . Cells that don’t have a job but can change into other cells |
| Diaphragm | adjusts light |
| electron microscope | uses beams of electrons instead of light. It is used to find more detal. You can’t look at anything alive so you have to kill it and cover it with mercury because you can’t see |
