Midterm Flashcards
Model
A drawing or representation of how something works
Scientific method
A logical procedure for choosing an answer
Experimental group
Exposed to the independent variable
Organic compounds
The carbon atoms & it’s unusual bonding characteristics
Assimilation
Component parts that make up living material
Ion
Equal number of protons & electrons
Neutrons
Particles about the same as protons without charges
Solution
Homogeneous mixture of one or more substances
Cytology
The study of cells
Mitochondria
Transforms sugars into usable energy
Ribosome,
Composed of proteins & multiple stands of RNA
Lysosomes
Organelles filled with digestive enzymes
Gene
DNA that produces a particular chain of amino acids
Sexual reproduction
The Union of haploid gametes resulting in a diploid zygote
Mitosis
Identical of the mothers cell genetic information
Chromosomes
Long strands of DNA
Hybridization
Cross breeding of two genetically unrelated individuals
Euploidy
Chromosomes number is the exact multiple of the haploid
Translocation
Two nonhomologous exChange genetic information
Triploid
Diploid gamete fertilized by a haploid gamete
Describe the scientific method
Observe the experiments
Collect info
Classify the data
Analyze the data to determine what they reveal about the problem
5 characteristics of life
Exhibit movement Achieves growth Reproduction Responds to the environment Faces death
Draw an h2o molecule
Identify the positive and negative charges
Study on own
List the 4 main groups of organic compounds
Lipids
Proteins
Carbohydrates
Nucleic acids
Describe the structure of the DNA molecule
Staircase designed and each DNA IS DIFFERENT AND CONTAINS PART OF the PARents’ DNA :(
Hydrophobic vs hydrophilic
Hydrophilic: filled up with water
Hydrophobic: don’t like water : repels water
Isotonic vs hypotonic vs hypertonic (draw the solutions)
Study on own
Scientist : which one in promoting the cell theory (who in invented it)

Provides cellular energy
A cell membrane is composed of
Lipids and proteins
Two types of cell
Eukaryotes and prokaryotic
