Questions
Answers
show A tentative explanation that accounts for a set of facts and that can be tested by further investigation.  
🗑
What is a theory?   show
🗑
show Cell theory states that all living things are composed of cells and that cells come from other cells by the process of cell reproduction  
🗑
show By making the observation and description of microscopic organisms and living cells possible at the microscopic level.  
🗑
show Observation of cell organelles and ultrastructure. Current technology allows the observation of cellular processes underlying both cell structure and function.  
🗑
show Natural selection is a process by which organisms with traits well suited to an environment survive and reproduce at a greater rate than organisms less suited to that environment.  
🗑
show • Pasteur’s and Koch’s experimentation and hypotheses led to an understanding of the presence of microorganisms and their relationship to diseases.  
🗑
show The understanding that many diseases are caused by microorganisms  
🗑
show Modern health practices emphasize sanitation, the safe handling of food and water, aseptic techniques to keep germs out of the body, and the development of vaccinations and other chemicals and processes to destroy microorganisms  
🗑
show Interpretations of X-ray photographs of DNA were used to describe the shape and dimensions of the molecule  
🗑
What did the double helix model of DNA explain to the scientists   show
🗑
What is 2/3's of a mass of a cell made up of?   show
🗑
show A water solution

What type of bonding do water molecules have?   show
🗑
Does water absorb or release heat when it evaporates?   show
🗑
show The fact that the solid form of water, ice, floats.  
🗑
What characteristics of water allows it to carry nutrients into and around cells and wastes away from cells?   show
🗑
What is the pH scale range?   show
🗑
What is the pH of pure water?   show
🗑
show Acidic  
🗑
What is a solution above 7 on the pH scale considered to be?   show
🗑
Why can organisms tolerate only small changes in pH?   show
🗑
What are the main components of a living cell?   show
🗑
What type of molecules found in cells, carry out most of the cell's work?   show
🗑
What controls the chemical reactions inside of cells?   show
🗑
What is the primary functions of carbohydrate macromolecules?   show
🗑
What is the primary function of lipid macromolecules?   show
🗑
How do nucleic acids control cell activities?   show
🗑
What are the jobs of proteins?   show
🗑
show Proteins are polymers made by linking together amino acid monomers.  
🗑
show In living cells, enzymes control the rate of metabolic reaction by acting as catalysts.  
🗑
show Most cells function best within a narrow range of temperature and pH. At very low temperatures, reaction rates are too slow. High temperatures or extremes of pH can irreversibly change the structure of proteins and alter their function.

🗑
In what form is energy transported within a cell?   show
🗑
show Certain enzymes release the energy stored in the chemical bonds in ATP.  
🗑
show The cell theory because it emphasizes the similiarity of all living things.  
🗑
What are the simplest life forms exhibiting cellular structure?   show
🗑
What were Earth's first cells?   show
🗑
show Eubacteria and archaebacteria.  
🗑
show Prokaryotes  
🗑
show Eukaryotes arose from prokaryotes and developed into larger more complex organisms, from single-celled protists to multi-cellular fungi, plants, and animals  
🗑
show Several differences include size, genetic material surrounded by a nuclear membrane, and the addition of mitochondria and chloroplasts.  
🗑
show The differences include the presence of a cell wall that gives the plant cell a defined shape, the presence of chloroplast, and the number of vacuoles  
🗑
show Cells are the basic units of structure and function of all living things.  
🗑
show Molecular, cellular, organism, population, community, and ecosystem  
🗑
show Chemical reactions that facilitate acquiring energy, reproduction, and adaptation/maintaining homeostasis.  
🗑
