A.
A hypothesis is…
… a suggested answer to a question.
A prediction is…
… A specific guess about what will happen (especially in an experiment)
All of the following are key to having a well designed experiment EXCPET A. Tests the hypothesis B. Turns out they way planned C. Multiple trials D. Changes one variable at a time E. All variables healed constant
B.
What is the dependent variable of an experiment?
The thing that responds to the change made in the independent variable.
What is the independent variable of an experiment?
The variable that is changes in an experiment.
What are the constant variables in an experiment?
A variable who’s value cannot change (like weight or any measurement).
What is the difference between the control group and the experimental group?
The control group has nothing changed to it and the experimental group has had a change/ is the group being tested.
What is qualitative data?
The quality of data collected (color, shape, the look of it, etc.)
What is quantitative data?
A specific amount of data (like how much it grew, change in temperature, etc.)

What is matter?
Anything that takes up space. Matter can be destroyed and made.
What is energy?
The ability to move. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed.
Why is a water molecule polar?
The oxygen atom tends to hog the electrons shared by hydrogen creating a negative charge on the oxygen and a slightly positive charge on the hydrogen atom.
What are the unique properties of a water molecule that result from its polarity?
- Cohesion/surface tension
- Adhesion (capillary action)
- High specific heat
- Unique density when solid
- Universal solvent
How do polar molecules interact with nonpolar molecules?
They do not interact with each other.
What is metabolism?
Something is able to consume or make their own food for energy.
What is homeostasis?
Something that is able to keep the inside of them self the temperature they need to be even if the outside temperature changes.
What are organic molecules?
Contain carbon and form covalent bonds with hydrogen oxygen phosphorus nitrogen and other carpet.
What are inorganic molecules?
Molecules that almost all of time to not have carbon.
What are the four major classes of organic molecules?
- Carbohydrates

Hydrolysis.
How does the body utilize carbohydrates?
Energy, cells walls of plants and fungi, and cell to cell communicate.
How does the body utilize lipids?
Long-term energy, storage, insulation padding, phospholipids cell membranes, and steroids.
How does the body utilize proteins?
Structure, enzymes, defense, contractile/movement, and transfer.

Name three polysaccharides
Starch, cellulose, chitin, and glycogen
Describe a saturated fat
- Full of hydrogen atoms
- No double bonds
- Made by animals
- Solid at room temperature
Describe an unsaturated fat
- Not full of hydrogen atoms
- Double bonds with carbon atoms
- Made by plants
- liquid at room temperature
What is an enzymes function?
Speed up specific reactions in a cell.
How do you enzymes contribute to an organisms metabolism and ability to maintain homeostasis?
They help metabolism by helping digest food. They keep chemical reaction is going to help maintain homeostasis.
What are three things that affect enzyme function?
Temperature, concentration of substrate, and chemical environment/pH levels.
What is pH?
How acidic a substance is.
How many each H+ plus or OH- ions do acids have?
More H+ atoms than pure water.
