Question
Answer
What is the purpose of science?   investigate and understand the natural world  
🗑
define hypothesis   suggest how or why something happens  
🗑
controlled experiment   set up in duplicate; tests only one variable  
🗑
define homeostasis   maintain internal balance  
🗑
list the levels of organization of living things from small to large   cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism, population, community, ecosystem, biosphere  
🗑
define polar   when electrons are concentrated on one side of a molecule, creating a slightly more negative charge  
🗑
define solution   solute particles are dissolved in solvent which is the bulk of the solution  
🗑
What is the best solvent?   water  
🗑
What is an acid?   substance with excess hydrogen atoms  
🗑
What is the pH of an acid   less than 7 on the pH scale (a base is more than 7 and neutral equals 7)  
🗑
What are the 4 organic compounds in animals?   protein, lipid, carbohydrate, nucleic acid (DNA, RNA)  
🗑
What are the monomers or subunits of a protein?   amino acids  
🗑
What are the monomers or subunits of a carbohydrate?   monosaccharides and polysaccharides  
🗑
What are the monomers or subunits of a nucleic acid?   nucleotides  
🗑
What are the monomers or subunits of a lipid?   fatty acid and glycerol  
🗑
define a chemical reaction   bonds are broken, atoms are rearranged, new bonds form  
🗑
hydrogen + oxygen --> water What are the products? What are the reactants?   product=water reactants=hydrogen and oxygen  
🗑
define optimum   best  
🗑
At what three conditions do enzymes work best?   certain pH, temperature, ion conditions  
🗑
Why are enzymes only needed in small amounts?   Because the are not used up in a chemical reaction, therefore they can be reused.  
🗑
What type of an organic compound are enzymes?   proteins  
🗑
What is it about the shape of an enzyme molecule that allows it to do its job?   enzymes have a specific shape-lock and key model  
🗑
What is a catalyst?   a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction (enzymes are catalysts)  
🗑
define denaturation   at high temperature, enzymes unravel and can no longer do their job  
🗑
Where are ribosomes found?   freefloating in the cytoplasm or on endoplasmic reticulum making it rough ER  
🗑
describe the protein structure   proteins are compsed of 20 different amino acids arranged in an infinite number sequences to make thousands of different proteins  
🗑
describe the structure of the cell membrane   semipermeable, 2 layers of lipids with proteins and carbohydrate tails; fluid mosaic; found in both plant and animal cells  
🗑
what the function of the cell membrane   regulates what enters/leaves the cell; acts as a barrier  
🗑
describe the structure of the cell wall   an added layer on the outside of the cell membrane; found in plants only  
🗑
what is the function of the cell wall   protection and support  
🗑
Where are proteins modified, processed and packaged?   Golgi  
🗑
What is the function of cholorphyll?   in plants only-captures sunlight energy and changes it to glucose chemical energy  
🗑
Where is chlorophyll found?   in the chloroplasts of green plants  
🗑
What chemical in a cell is responsible for storing and releasing energy?   ATP  
🗑
define cell respiration   oxygen plus glucose form carbon dioxide and ATP as energy is released from food  
🗑
Where in the cell does cell respiration occur?   mitochondria  
🗑
cells that need a lot of energy will have a lot of these organelles   mitochondria  
🗑
define diffusion   the movement of substances/gases across a cell membrane  
🗑
viruses and prokaryotes(bacteria) are similar because they both have   DNA and RNA  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
