What is biology?
The study of life.
|
Who is Robert Hooke?
He is credited with discovering the cell.
|
What is water?
Osmosis moves this chemical.
|
What are reactants or substrates?
The starting chemicals in a reaction are called this.
|
What are mitosis and meiosis?
These are the two main ways cells reproduce.
|
What is a microscope?
The tool we use to look at very small things
|
What are prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
The two different kinds of cells.
|
What is ATP?
The energy carrying molecule in cells.
|
What are products?
The ending chemicals in a reaction are called this.
|
What are 46 and 23?
The number of chromosomes in a human body cell and a human sex cell.
|
What is quantitative?
data or an observation that uses numbers.
|
What is the plasma (or cell) membrane?
This part controls what goes in and out of the cell (osmosis, diffusion etc).
|
What is photosynthesis?
The process that plants use to make sugar
|
What is "poly"?
This prefix means "many".
|
What is DNA?
This is the chemical that makes up genes and chromosomes.
|
What safety equipment do we have in the lab?
Fire extinguisher, Hood, Eye wash
|
What are the mitochondria?
This organelle is responsible for energy
|
What is cellular respiration?
sugar & O2 -> CO2 & H2O & ATP is the equation for this chemical process.
|
What is an enzyme or catalyst?
A chemical used to speed up a reaction. It is not "used up" during the reaction and can be used again and again.
|
What are genotypes?
BB, bb, and Bb are heterozygous dominant, homozygous dominant, and homogeneous recessive examples.
|
What is an inference? (or theory)
Observations / evidence supports an idea that is believed but not FACT.
|
What are the cell wall and chloroplasts?
These two parts are found only in plant cells.
|
What is active transport?
This type of chemical movement requires energy (hint-- NOT diffusion)
|
What is "yields"?
The term that means "becomes" in a reaction. The symbol in the equation is an arrow- "--->"
|
What is a carrier?
When a person DOES not have a disease but CAN give it to their children (hidden)
