Studied by 26 peopleDesirable Difficulty
When material becomes difficult, which causes you to learn better.
Retrieval
the process of recovering or locating information stored in memory
Metacognition
understanding one’s thought process
Active Studying
studying that ensures long time memory by using strategies beyond simply reading the material
Passive Studying
Not actively taking notes or studying, most info is lost after this.
Synapse
a junction between two neurons, or a neuron and a target. It permits the transmission of electrical or chemical signals. The synapse is formed between presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons
Scanning Objective
Lowest Power
Low Power
The second smallest power
High power
The highest power
Total magnification
Objective power x objective power (10)
Base
Keeps the microscope in one piece
Stage
Holds slide
diaphragm
Controls the amount of light
Light source
Source of light. Mirror or light.
eyepiece (ocular lens)
Magnifies the image produced
Arm
Supports and connects parts of the microscope
Nosepiece
Hold's all the lens and attaches them to microscope
Coarse Adjustment
Moves the stage up and down
Fine Adjustment
Carefully focus the microscope
empirical
Based on an experiment and observation rather than theory
inquiry
a search for knowledge
Eukaryotic Cells
Clearly defined nucleus, and organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts
Prokaryotic cells
Cells that lack a nucleus and other complex organelles
Archaea
A group of microorganisms that lack a nucleus, all of them are prokaryotic.
Bacteria
prokaryotic, unicellular, and has no organelles or organized nucleus
Eukarya
A group of organisms whose cells all have a nucleus. All animals, plants, fungi, and some unicellular organisms are in this domain.
antibiotic
Substance that kills bacteria
probiotic
Live microorganisms that have health benefits
Fermentation
The process of breaking down sugar with enzymes in microorganisms like yeast
3 domains of life
Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya
Endosymbiont Hypothesis
That eukaryotic cells evolved from prokaryotic cells
ATP
Stores energy and becomes adp after using energy
ADP
A molecule created when you use ATP
photosynthesis
When plants turn water and CO2 into glucose and oxygen to create energy.
Cellular Respiration
The process of cells using glucose and oxygen to make CO2, water and ATP
Mitochondria
The organelle that helps with cellular respiration
Chlorplasts
The organelle that helps with photosynthesis
Cellular Respiration Formula
C6H12O6 + 6O2 > 6CO2 + 6H2O
Photosynthesis equation
6CO2 + 6H2O > C6H12O6 + 6O2
glucose
A sugar that allows plants and other organisms to store energy
empirical
derived from experiment and observation rather than theory
data
Models, charts, graphs, statistics
independent variable
The manipulated variable that doesn't depend on the other for change
dependent variable
Depends on the independent variable for change
Controls
Variables that aren't changed
Technology
Tools that are used to help us draw a conclusion
osmosis
Water moving from a place of high concentration to low concentration.
anaerobic respiration
Process of breaking down sugars to make energy without oxygen
