QuestionAnswer
scientific method step 1 collect observations
scientific method step 2 ask questions
scientific method step 3 form hypothesis/ make predictions
scientific method step 4 experiment
scientific method step 5 record/ analyze data
scientific method step 6 draw conclusions
observations act of gathering information about a system or environment using one or more of the five senses
data information collected during experiment
hypothesis "educated guess" or predicted solution to a problem
variables factors that change/ can be measured in experiment
independent the variables that you change on purpose
dependent the vaiable that changes as a result of the IV
control a level of IV used as a standard for comparison
constants things that are kept the same in the experiment
EDD experimental design diagram
x axis indepent variable is recorded on this axis
y axis the dependent variable is recorded on this axis
direct relationship as the IV increases the DV increases
inverse relationship as the IV increases the DV decreases
water made up of 2 hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to 1 oxygen atom
covalent bonds that share electrons
polar structure the water molecule has ends with a slightly negative charge and a slightly positive charge
hydrogen bond the attraction between the positive end of one water molecule and the negative end of another water molecule
high specific heat it takes a lot of energy to increase its temperature- helps keep temp. in oceans stable and helps humans keep a normal constant body temperature
univerisal greatest solvent water- because it can dissolve substances to be more easily transported throughout an organism
cohesion water molecules stick together
adhesion water molecules stick to other substances
organic contain the element carbon - carbohydrates are this
function of carbohydrates to store energy
monosaccharides one sugar (glucose)
disaccharides two sugars (sucrose, maltose, lactose)
polysaccharides many sugars (cellulose, starch, glycogen)
lipids non-polar and insoluble in water (ex. fats, oils, waxes)
lipids are made up of three- fatty, acids, and one glycerol molecule
function of lipids store energy
function of proteins control rate of reactions; form bone/ muscle
enzymes help speed up chemical reactions
proteins made up of amino acids joined togather by peptide bonds
peptide bonds 2 amino acids
poly peptide 3 or more amino acids
nucleic acids made up of repeating units called nucleotides
nucleotide consists of a sugar, base, and phosphate group
nucelic acids DNA and RNA
DNA stores genetic information
RNA essential for protein syntheisis
enzymes increase rate of reation by lowering the activation energy
enzymes form temporary enzyme substrate complexes
enzymes remain unaffected by the reaction
enzymes don't change in the reaction and they don't make reactions accur that would otherwise not occur at all
What factors control/ influence enzyme activity? temperature and pH
increasingly acidic 7-0
increasingly basic 7-14
photosythesis equation 6CO2+ 6H20 light C6H12O6 + 6O2
chloroplast sights for photosythesis
3 variables that affect the rate of photosythesis temperature, light, and CO2
cellular respiration equation C6H1206 + 602 enzymes 6CO2 + 6H20 + energy H20
mitochondria the organelle which is the site for cellular respiration
how are photosythesis and cellular respiration a continuous cycle? the products of one are the reactants of the other
parts of the cell theory 1 all things are made up of one or more cells
parts of the cell theory 2 cells are the basic unit of structure and function
parts of the cell theory 3 all cells arise from existing cells
Hooke observed 1st cells from cork- coined the term "cell"
Leeuwenhoek observed microscopic cells from pond water
Schleiden studied plant cells
Schwann studied animal cells
Virchow concluded that cells come from pre-existing cells
Prokaryotic cells lack nucleus and membrane bound organelles ex) bacteria
Eukaryotic cells have a true nucleus and organelles ex) plant/ animal
nucleus command center of the cell; DNA located there
nucleoulus small organelle inside the nucleus; helps make ribosomes
ribosomes small organelles in the cytoplasm; makes protein
ER transportation system of the cell
golgi apparatus packaging and shipping center of the cell
lysosome contains digestive enzymes
vacuole storage tank of the cell
mitochondrion power center of the cell (ATP produced here)
chloroplast organelle for photosythesis; contains chlorophyll
centriole asist in cell divisioN
cytoplasm medium inside which organelles are suspended
cell membrane layer (membrane) that surrounds the cell
cell wall composed of cellulose in plants and chitin in fungi
plants vs. animal cells, plants have... cell wall, central vacuole, chloroplast

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
