| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is a hypothesis? | logical explanation to a scientific problem that hasn't been tested |
| What is a theory? | A statement or scientific idea backed up by evidence |
| What is the organization of life? | atom, molecule, biomolecule,organelle, cell,tissue,organ,organ system, multicellular organism, individual, population, community,ecosystem, biosphere |
| What is a prokaryote? A eukaryote? | single-celled organism; multi-cellular organism |
| What does organic mean? | containing carbon |
| What are the 6 characteristics of life? | respond to stimulus, grows and develops, needs energy/makes waste, has dna, cellular,reproduces |
| What are the steps in the scientific method? | observe/form a question, research, hypothesis, experiment/collect data, conclusion, repeat work, theories and laws formed after enough trials |
| What are the 6 keys to a valid experiment? | make sure the hypothesis fits the experiment, control being used, make sure other items are controlled, only 1 variable being tested, all data is recorded/analyzed, experiment and results are repeatable |
| What is the independent variable and what depends on it? | The variable that doesn't change; the dependent variable |
| What is a control group? | duplicate setup of experiment that is identical to the experimental group except for the variable being tested |
| What are constants? Data? | things kept the same for both groups; information obtained from the experiments |
| What the difference between deductive and inductive? | Deductive is based on factual evidence, while inductive is based on logical reasoning |
| What is matter? Energy? | Matter is anything that takes up space while energy is the ability to do work or what powers matter? |
| What is the first law of Thermodynamics? The second? | Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted.; Energy cannot be converted at 100% efficiency |
| What is the conservation of matter law? | We can account for all atoms on both sides of the equation? |
| Name the functional groups for the following Carbohydrate Lipid Nucleic Acid Protein | OH C=O-OH P NH2 |
| What are the monomers of Proteins | amino acids bonded by peptides |
| What are the monomers of Lipids | 3 fatty acids and a glycerol |
| How do you get a sterol? A phospholipid? | a circular lipid; remove a fatty acids and add a phosphate |
| what are the monomers of carbohydrates? | saccharides |
| What are the monomers of nucleic acids? What makes up these monomers? | nucelotides; a phosphate, sugar and nitrogenous base |
| What are the nitrogenous bases? | Uracil, cytosine, thymine, guanine, adenine |
| What nitrogenous bases bond together? | Adenine and Thymine; Cytosine and Guanine |
| What is hydrolysis? | Breaking down of a large molecule and in the process of cleavage, H and OH are released |
| What is condensation reaction? | bonding 2 smaller molecules together releasing water in the bonding process |
| Why doesn't Ne need to bond? | It is a noble gas, already has a full valence |
| What are the two types of covalent bonds? | Polar covalent (water) and regular covalent (any other covalent bond) |
| What is the difference between an ionic bond and a covalent bond? | ionic-transferring electrons covalent-sharing electrons |
| Name each water property and what it is. | polarity...cohesion...adhesion...high specific heat....universal solvent...lessdense as solid than liquid... |
| Which transport requires energy? | active |
| What transport goes from high to low? | passive |
| If its hypotonic, it is also: | hyper-osmotic |
| isotonic/ | iso-osmotic |
| hypertonic/ | hypo-osmotic |
| What is an enzyme? | a biological catalyst used to start/speed up reactions |
| What is the lock and key? | A nonreactive molecule blocks the active site of the enzyme so that the substrate cannot enter the active site until there is a sufficient amount of substrate before the enzyme converts it into a product |
| What is denaturation? | The disruption of an enzyme's shape/breakage of weak bonds |
| What causes denaturatioN? | pH, temperature |
| What is the different between plant and animal cells | Plants are rectangular, have plastids, tonoplast, a cell wall, a larger vacuole, don't use centrioles, while animals have centrioles and a nucelolous |
| What is a nucleus? | The brain of the cell, keeps RNA from damaging |
| Nucleolous? | where proteins and RNa are assembled/ stored |
| Smooth/Rough ER? | operates as a transport system. Smooth-no ribosomes; Rough-has ribosomes |
| Chloroplast | Food producers of the plant, contain chlorophyll needed for photosynthesis. Where photosynthesis occurs |
| Microfilaments | small component of cytoskeleton |
| Microtubules | large component of cytoskeleton |
| What is the function of microfilaments and microtubules? | used for cell motion, shape, and growth |
| mitochondria | powerhouse in the cell, provides energy |
| centrioles | used in mitosis for animal cells only |
| golgi body | assembles/packages lipids and polypeptide chains for use in the cell |
| lysosome | vesicle filled with enzymes, used for intracellular digestion |
| vacuole | stores waste, water, and starches |
| nuclear envelope | outer boundary of nucleus |
| Nuclear pore | hole in the nucelus, lets things in and out |
| cytoplasm | all cell parts, jelly like substances |
| What is the phosphate head? | hydrophilic, used to lure water in |
| What is the lipid tail? | hydrophobic, keeps water from staying in the lipid layer |
| antenna | used for spacing to tell the cell when its getting to large |
| Transport protein | helps move large materials throughout cell |
| adhesion protein | puts cells together to make tissues, organs, etc |
