30 Questions
What is the function of the cell membrane?
Serves as a semi-permeable barrier around the cell
Which organelle is responsible for making and folding proteins?
Ribosomes
What distinguishes prokaryotic cells from eukaryotic cells?
Presence of a nucleus
Where is DNA stored in prokaryotic cells?
Cytoplasm
What term is used to refer to a predicted answer to a problem, also known as an 'educated guess'?
Hypothesis
What is the primary function of the nucleus in a cell?
Store DNA
Which phase of the scientific method involves setting up a test or procedure to determine if the hypothesis is correct?
Experiment
Why do prokaryotic cells have fewer compartments compared to eukaryotic cells?
To ensure most cell processes occur in the cytoplasm
What aspect of the experiment must be controlled to ensure accurate results?
Constant factors
Which part of the scientific method involves recording and analyzing what occurred during the experiment?
Analysis
In the scientific method, what is the name given to all other factors that need to be controlled during an experiment?
Constant factors
What is the term for reviewing the data collected and verifying if the hypothesis was correct in the scientific method?
Conclusion
What is the main difference between fragmentation and budding?
Fragmentation involves the development of a new organism attached to the parent, whereas budding involves the detached offspring growing independently.
Which cellular organelle is primarily responsible for cellular respiration?
Mitochondria
What process occurs in the cytoplasm outside of the mitochondria during cellular respiration?
Glycolysis
What is the end product when glucose undergoes cellular respiration?
Carbon Dioxide, Water, and Adenosine Tri-Phosphate
How does a new organism develop in vegetative reproduction?
Through a long, slim shoot extending from a plant
What role does the Citric Acid Cycle (Kreb Cycle) play in cellular respiration?
It is where energy is added to molecules
Which variable in an experiment is 'dependent' on the independent variable?
Dependent variable
In an experiment measuring the relationship between sleep and tiredness, what is the independent variable?
Amount of sleep
What distinguishes a 'Theory' from a 'Fact'?
Theories are subject to change with new information, while facts are universally agreed upon
What is the primary characteristic of conspiracy theorists according to the text?
They believe in the power held by certain groups over them
Which term describes a collection of facts related to a specific hypothesis?
Data
How are theories described in relation to testing and new information?
Theories are major hypotheses that can evolve with new information
How many ATP molecules are consumed during the 'investment phase' of cellular respiration?
2 ATP
Where do the preparatory reactions of cellular respiration occur?
Mitochondria
How many NADH molecules are generated in the Citric Acid Cycle per glucose molecule entering cellular respiration at glycolysis?
8 NADH
What is the total range of ATP molecules yielded through cellular respiration?
36 to 38 ATP
How many molecules of ATP are produced in the Electron Transport Chain (ETC) step of cellular respiration?
32 to 34 ATP
What is the final electron acceptor in the Electron Transport Chain (ETC)?
Oxygen
Learn about independent variables, which are controlled by the experimenter and do not depend on other variables, and dependent variables, which are being tested and measured. Explore how changes in the independent variable affect the dependent variable through examples like measuring tiredness based on the amount of sleep.
