eukaryotic cell
type of cell with a closed membrane and has organelles within
prokaryotic cell
cell that doesn’t have a membrane (it’s open) nor organelles.
Bacteria, Archaea
2 of the 3 domains that life is generally classified into. Consists of only single-celled prokaryotic organisms
Eukarya
1 of the 3 domains that life is generally classified into. Consists of Eukaryotes and is divided into three kingdoms:
Animalia
Fungi
Plantae
Animalia
Eukarya kingdom that is is made up of consumers
Fungi
Eukarya kingdom made up of decomposers
Plantae
Eukarya kindgom made up of photosynthetic (capable of making their own energy) organisms
gene expression
translation of genotype into phenotype via the transcription of mRNA from DNA, to later direct protein synthsis in translation between RNA and their corresponding amino acids
amino acid
building blocks for protein. A chain of ____ is called a peptide chain as they are made up of peptide bonds
genome
The entirety of an organism’s genetic material. Comprised of DNA in organisms, while made up of RNA in some viruses
hypothesis
a testable explanation for a set of observations based on the available data and guided by inductive reasoning. A hypothesis is narrower in scope than a theory
experiment
The scientific testing of observations (hypothesis) , often under controlled environments
controlled experiment
an experiment designed to compare an experimental group with a control group; ideally, the two groups differ only in the factor being tested
independent variable
a factor whose value is manipulated or changed during an experiment to reveal possible effects on another factor (the dependent variable)
dependent variable
a factor whose value is measured in an experiment to see whether it is influenced by changes in another factor (the independent variable)
theories
broader explanations than hypotheses
plethora of evidence backing it
hypotheses often stem from _____
