What are angiosperms? • Vascular plants, flowering, fruit, roots, stems, leaves
What are gymnosperms? • Vascular, needle leaves, roots, stems, cones
How do ferns reproduce? • spores
What is pathogen? • Virus or bacteria that can make you sick
What does food chain show? • Energy flow
What is selective pressure on a species? • Something that can influence the survival of the species
Types of bacteria • Archaebacteria—live in any type of environment; photosynthesis • Eubacteria—make you sick
How does a hypothesis become a theory? • When it is supported by consistent data from many experiments
Gametes must be haploid because • They will unite during fertilization to create a diploid cell
T or F Enzymes function at a certain pH and temperature. Overheating or changing the pH can lose its ability to catalyze a reaction or function properly
What is phototropism? • Plant moves toward the sunlight
What is geotropism • Plant (roots) moves toward the earth (for nutrients, water)
The variable being tested (independent variable) is the variable that: • Changes (ex: temperature, sunlight, pH)
If two populations are being tested and one is moved to another location and a scientist notes physical variations in the populations. The variations were probably caused by the • Environment
Evidence of common ancestry: • Fossil comparison • DNA/similar genes • Embryo development similarities • Body structure
The variable being changed by the scientist (ex. pH, temperature, amount of light) is the • Independent variable
The item being tested (type of plant, type of algae) should be held • constant
The result of the experiment is the • Dependent variable (height of plant growth)
A student wants to view cells under the compound microscope at a total magnification of 400X. If the eyepiece is 10X, which of the following objective lenses should be used? • 40x
Observation is what you • see
When seeking information go to what type of source? Why? • Professional journal, not newspaper or textbook. Not biased, includes new discoveries
What type of instrument came first in the study of living things? • Microscope (light)
What two scientists collaborated to come up with DNA model? • Watson and Crick
What does collaborate mean? • Work together
T or F: Science requires many people to work together • True
What is the total magnification to view onion cells using 10X ocular lens and 50x. • 500x
Why should you lay a coverslip down at an angle over a slide? • Reduce bubbles
What discovery allowed scientists to view monera and protista kingdom? • Electron microscope
A scientist designed an experiment to test the effect of temperatureon bacterial growth. What was the independent variable in this experiment?The dependent variable? • Temperature. Bacteria growth
What is a hypothesis? • Educated guess
What universal system of measurement do scientists use? • metric
Pasteur’s theory using bacteria growth in closed container was to reject what theory? • Spontaneous generation
At the end of an experiment a student would come up with a • conclusion
If one population is more abundant than another, they may have an _______ over another population • advantage
A control group is the group that ______ receive the treatment • Does not
Why is a control group important? • Allows for a comparison
What is this? • Cell membrane
What does this do? • Controls movement of substances in and out of the cell
What allows movement of large substances into and out of the cell? • Protein channel
This type of cell has no cell specialized organelles; ribosomes and no membrane-bound nucleus. What is it? • Prokaryote (bacteria)
What is a flagella for? • movement
What carries coded information out of the nucleus to the ribosome? • mRNA
What is responsible for “rough” appearance of the ER? • ribosomes
What are the three shapes of bacteria? • Rod, sphere, spiral
