What is Biology?
Science that studies life
|
State the axis where the dependent variable should be graphed.
Its graphed in the Y axis, in an investigation report.
|
What is anaphase?
During this mitotic phase the centromeres splits apart and the chromatid pairs from each chromosome separate from each other
|
Lipids
The only macromolecule that gives 9 cal/gram and have as main function to store energy.
|
Identify the main function of the human circulatory system.
The circulatory system transports blood to deliver important substances such as oxygen and nutrients to cells, and to remove wastes such as carbon dioxide.
|
Define Prokaryotic cells.
Type of cells with a simple internal structure, that lack organelles surrounded by membranes, and therefore, lack a true nucleus.
|
State the axis where the independent variable should be graphed.
Its graphed in the X axis, in an investigation report.
|
What is epididymis?
A structure located on top of each testis. In here the sperm will complete their maturation.
|
What is chemical digestion?
The action of enzymes in breaking down large molecules into small molecules that then can be absorbed by cells.
|
Identify the three components of the circulatory system.
Heart, blood, and blood vessels.
|
Define plasma membrane.
A thin, flexible boundary between a cell and its environment, composed of a phospholipid bilayer, that helps control what enters and leaves the cell. It is mainly responsible of maintaining homeostasis by means of its selective permeability.
|
Define control variable.
Is a constant condition for all the trials in an experiment.
|
What is flow phase?
The phase of menstrual cycle characterized by the shedding of blood, tissue fluid, mucus and epithelial cells from the endometrium.
|
What is small intestine?
3. Organ in which chemical digestion is completed and most of the nutrients are absorbed by fingerlike structures called villi.
|
Describe the structure of the human heart.
The human heart is made of cardiac muscle, composed of two upper chambers called atria, and two lower chambers called ventricles.
|
List the levels of organization within an organism´s body in increasing order.
Atom
Molecule Organelle Cell Tissue Organ Organ System Organism |
Identify the dependent variable in this experiment.
The gold fish in one tank are fed normally once a day. The gold fish in a second tank are fed twice a day, and in a third tank are fed four times a day during a six week study. The fishes’ weight is recorded daily.
A= The weight of fish. |
What is Prostate gland?
Masculine gland that contributes an alkaline solution to the fluid to neutralize acidic conditions sperm might encounter in the urethra and the female reproductive tract.
|
What is pancreas?
4. Has two main functions: produce enzymes that digest carbohydrates, proteins and fats, and it also produce hormones.
|
Distinguish between the function of arteries, veins, and capillaries.
Arteries transport blood away from the heart (usually oxygenated blood, except the pulmonary arteries). Veins transport blood towards the heart (usually deoxygenated blood, except the pulmonary veins). Capillaries are where gas and substance exchange occu
|
List an example of reproduction.
Female frogs lay hundreds of eggs in standing water
|
Identify the control group in this experiment.
The gold fish in one tank of are fed the normal amount of food once a day. The gold fish in a second tank are fed twice a day, and the fish in a third tank are fed four times a day during a six week study. The fishes’ weight is recorded daily.
A= The firs |
What is on May 24 th?
If a woman starts the flow phase of her menstrual cycle on May 10th when will she expect her ovulation day to happen
|
What are complex carbohydrates?
Foods such as breads, legumes, rice, pasta and starchy vegetables provide vitamins, minerals and fiber known as
|
Distinguish between the structure of arteries, veins, and capillaries.
Arteries have a thick layer of smooth muscle, they are strong and elastic. Veins have a thinner layer of smooth muscle, and they have valves. Capillaries are microscopic, made of one single layer of endothelial cells.
