Investigation & Experimentation Investigation and Experimentation
1. Define Hypothesis: a testable possible explanation of an observation.
2. Define Theory: an explanation that has been tested and confirmed many times
2a.What is a controlled experiment? An experiment where all variables are kept the same except one.
3. Why is a control group important to have in an experiment?
3. Why is a control group important to have in an experiment? It is a part of the experiment that is not tested and is used to compare results.
3a. Define Independent Variable The variable, on the x axis, that the scientist is in control of. Ex. time, temperature DRY MIX!!
3b. Define Dependent Variable The variable, on the Y axis, that is the RESULT. Ex. # bubbles produced DRY MIX!!
3c. Explain 3 possible sources of errors in an experiment. -person didn’t time correctly -equipment doesn’t work correctly -person didn’t add enough chemicals -person used too many chemicals -person didn’t use a control
4. What are the steps of the scientific method? Ask a question Form a hypothesis Experiment Observations Data Collection Conclusions Retest, if necessary
5. Define monomer: Small, simple molecules
6. Define polymer: Large, complex molecules made from simple monomers
Polymer Monomer Common Example Carbohydrates (Polysaccharides) Amino Acids Lipids Nucleotides 7. Fill in the chart below.
Polymer Monomer Common Example Monosaccharide Protein Amino Acids Glycerol and Fatty acids Nucleic Acids Nucleotides 7. Fill in the chart below. Carbohydrates (Polysaccharides) Glucose, C6H12O6 Muscle, Enzymes Lipids Oils, waxes DNA and RNA
7a. What does Benedict’s Solution test for? How does it work?
7a. What does Benedict’s Solution test for? How does it work? In the presence of a MONOSACCHARIDE and HEAT, it changes from BLUE to Red/Orange
7b. What does Lugol’s Iodine Solution test for? How does it work?
7b. What does Lugol’s Iodine Solution test for? How does it work? In the presence of a STARCH/POLYSACCHARIDE, it changes from BROWN to BLUISH/BLACK
8. What is the function of an enzyme? No Enzyme Enzyme -Is a biological catalyst that speeds up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy of a reaction. **most end in –ASE
9. What factors can reduce the effectiveness of enzyme function?
9. What factors can reduce the effectiveness of enzyme function? A change in pH, temperature, or salts.
10. Describe the process in the figure below. substrate binds to the active site the reaction occurs the products are released
12. What happens to the enzyme following this process? It gets recycled
12a. What does denature mean? When the proteins’ natural structure, its 3-D shape, is permanently changed
12b. What is the difference between a catalyst and a Biological catalyst?
12b. What is the difference between a catalyst and a Biological catalyst? Catalysts speed up reactions in non-living things. Biological catalysts (enzymes) speed up reactions in living things.
