In this scenario, what is the dependent variable?
-the water given to the plant
-the sunlight given to the plant
-the life of the plant
-the origin of the plant
The life of the plant
An example of a null hypothesis is
-Drug B will have no effect on tumor growth compared to a placebo
-Males and females will score the same on navigational tests.
What are emergent properties?
Properties that come about as structures become more complex, or as hierachy
increases
What is the concept that describes the approach of observing the smaller parts of
a structure to understand the properties of the structure?
Reductionism
Why is life on earth so diverse?
Life on earth is diverse in part due to the molecule DNA, which allows for mutations that
can benefit an organism's survival and be passed down to offspring.
In which domain do you find organisms such as Protists?
Eukarya
Describe the mechanism that Charles Darwin proposed to explain how life on
earth evolved.
Natural Selection
Where in the atom is the neutron found and what is this particles charge?
in the nucleus and has a charge of zero
how many electrons does an atom of Potassium have given the atomic number of
19 and mass of 39
19
electronegativity describes an atom's ability to attract
electrons
oxygen is more electronegative than aluminum. This will cause...
oxygen to have more protons than aluminum
A hydrogen bond is a type of
intermolecular bond
The bonds that are broken when water vaporizes are
hydrogen bonds
Which of the following statements is not true?
Water is the most abundant molecule in
Earth's atmosphere
When acids are added to a solution, the pH should
decrease
, A molecule that binds up excess hydrogen ions in a solution is called a(n)
base
geometric isomers are formed by
rigid double covalent carbon bonds
structural isomers are formed by
the same number of atoms forming different structures
enantiomers are formed by
central carbon molecules bonded to four different atoms
Which of the following is not a functional group that can bond with carbon?
sodium
If a molecule is a carbohydrate, it should be composed of carbon, hydrogen, and
oxygen in a _.
1-2-1 ratio
You observe that a container of olive oil is liquid at room temperature. Based on
this observation, you conclude that olive oil must be made of ......
unsaturated fats
What do waxes, steroids, and fats all have in common?
they are all hydrophobic compounds
the monomers of proteins are
amino acids
The enzyme invertase splits sucrose into glucose and fructose. Invertase would
be an example of...
a catabolic enzyme
The phospholipids that compose cell membranes are described as amphipathic
because they have________ heads and _________ fatty acid tails
hydrophilic // hydrophobic
In a molecule of starch or cellulose, the monomers are____ molecueles
glucose
You are growing a houseplant in soil that lacks phosphates and notice that it
does not seem healthy. The lack of phosphates would make it difficult for the
plant to manufacture which of the following?
DNA
Saturated fats...
usually come from animal sources
A potato is a type of plant organ known as a tuber and contains large amounts of
starch. Based on what learned in this chapter, explain why potatoes contain large
amounts of starch and why this is important to the plant.
Potatos contain large amounts of starch becuase they are storing energy. This is
important to the plant because it's energy is being stored in the plant as excess glucose
molecules. This being done gives the plant a way to have access of sugar when
photosynthesis is not able to occur.
Which of the following correctly summarizes unified cell theory?
all life is composed of cells and all cells come from other cells
You want to study the internal structure of mitochondria. Which type of
microscope would be the best choice for your research?
transmission electron microscope
