Q

What can other people do if you share a bad result?

A

They can go off of that idea that they shouldn’t try it because it has been said to come out bad.

25
what does enlarge in science
magnification
26
definition of bacteria
tiny organisms that are made of a single cell, that can be helpful or harmful to humans
27
who discovered cells
Robert Hooke
28
what year did they discover cells
1665
29
who was the person who said that motion was a sign of life
Van Leeuwenhoek
30
is Van Leeuwenhoek statement true in this period of time, if so why
no, there are now non living things that move, one example is a robot
31
what are all cells enclosed by? What does it control
the cell membrane, controls what goes in and out
32
what are all cells made out of?
Cytoplasm, a jelly-like fluid
33
what does cytoplasm do
nothing, it is the only part of the cell that doesn't have a function
34
what in a cell makes proteins
ribosomes
35
which cells help fight infections
white blood cells
36
what are cells made out of
molecules
37
what is the smallest unit of matter
atoms
38
cells = ? = ?
Molecules = atoms
39
what do different organs form when working together
a system
40
what happens when different systems work together
it makes up the body
41
what do you call it when the same type of cells work together
a tissue
42
what do you call it when different tissues work together
an organ
43
what is the nucleus
command center/makes all the decisions/tells what the cells what to do
44
where is the dna kept in every cell
the nucleus
45
what else does the cell membrane do
helps maintain homeostasis
46
what is the homeostasis
The stability that maintained by an organism, the single most important thing that keeps us healthy
47
name examples of what the homeostasis does.
knows when to repair cuts, maintaining the right temperature (98.6) , how many blood cells you need in your body, etc.
48
when there's a fever in your body what happens?
the homeostasis fights it, which is why you feel pain when sick. once the sickness is gone, the homeostasis returns to maintain everything in the body once again
49
what is mitochondria
uses glucose and oxygen molecules to release energy that the cell can use
50
where are the ribosomes
either floating (in cytoplasm) or attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum
51
what is the Endoplasmic Reticulum/ E.R.
makes and transports molecules (In general)
52
how many types are there of the Endoplasmic Reticulum and what are the types
two types, rough and smooth
53
what make the E.R. rough
Makes rough because of ribosomes attached to it
54
is cytoplasm an organelle?
no
55
do plant cells have the same organelles as the cells in our body?
they usually do, plus extra ones that only plant cells have
56
what cells have a cell wall
Plant cells are the only cells with a cell wall
57
why do plant cells have a cell wall
plants don’t have anything like bones to keep them up
58
what are cloroplasts (in plant cells)
they store chlorophyll
59
what do Vacuoles do
they store the plant cells
60
are Vacuoles unique to plants
no
61
what's the difference between plant Vacuoles and human cell Vacuoles
plant vacuoles are extra big in size comparison
62
what is a Scientific name
their Genus + species name = organisms
63
what are the three domains
eukarya, bacteria, and achaea
64
what domain are we in
eukarya
65
what separates the domains
the way they look
66
fill the blank : the ___________ _____________ system
Linnean classification
67
What scientists get help from the linnean classification system
who study life
68
how many species have we discovered
6 billion species
69
who discovered the systems
Carl linnaeus
70
when did Carl linnaeus live
early 17 hundreds
71
why did Carl linnaeus make the system
because it was easier to find everything
72
what is the order of the classification from least to most specific
domain, kingdom, phylum, class order, family, genus, species
73
what is the next classification after order
family
74
what can you remember to remember the classification system
DEAR KING PHILLIP CAME OVER FOR GOOD SOUP
75
definition of culture
scientists use cultures to grow and multiply microorganisms
76
what is a petri dish
what a culture is put into
77
what is a biome
the environment and all the organisms that are living there
78
what surrounds cultures in the petri dishes
a mixture of water and sugar
79
why do we put the mixture in the petri dish?
because it gives the microorganisms inside energy to grow and multiply
80
what do we have have 100 trillion of?
microorganisms
81
there are thousands of different _________ in your body
bacteria
82
what does the human body provide
food and space for bacteria
83
what is good bacteria?
Prevents harmful bacteria from growing and defends against disease and infection
84
what kind of bacteria take up space for another not to get in
good bacteria
85
what can bacteria in the gut do to help
breaks down food NOT DIGEST
86
how can harmful bacteria get in?
cuts, spoiled food, and the air that we breathe
87
what's a claim?
a proposed answer to a question about the natural world
88
what is an evidence?
information about the natural world that is used to support a claim
89
what's a reasoning
the process of making clear how your evidence supports your claim
90
what are the four steps to the scientific argument
question, claim, provide evidence, and reasoning
