What process would be required to join two amino acids together? -
ANSWER - Dehydration Synthesis
What is the purpose of the scientific method? - ANSWER - The
scientific method is an organized way to study the natural world and find
out how it works.
What are the steps of the scientific method? - ANSWER - Ask a
Question.
Do Background Research.
Construct a Hypothesis.
Test Your Hypothesis by Doing an Experiment.
Analyze Your Data and Draw a Conclusion.

Distinguish between independent and dependent variables - ANSWER -
An independent variable is the variable that is changed or controlled in a
scientific experiment to test the effects on the dependent variable.
A dependent variable is the variable being tested and measured in a
scientific experiment.
Distinguish between control and experimental groups - ANSWER - An
experimental group is the group in an experiment that receives the
variable being tested. One variable is tested at a time. The experimental

group is compared to a control group, which does not receive the test
variable.
Distinguish between hypothesis and theory. - ANSWER - A hypothesis
is an attempt to explain phenomena. It is a proposal, a guess used to
understand and/or predict something. A theory is the result of testing a
hypothesis and developing an explanation that is assumed to be true
about something.
