1. Midterm Review
General

2. Chapter 1 1. Scientists use the metric system which
is based on the powers of ten.
2. Observation- process of gathering information
by using your senses
Inference - Assumption or conclusion based on prior experience

3. Collect the Data
4. The dependent variable is what changes when the independent variable changes (the dependent variable depends on the outcome of the independent variable)
The factor that is changed in an experiment is the independent variable. (it is what the scientist changes) Only one factor in a controlled experiment can change at a time.

4. Ch 1.3 Methods of Science 5. Steps of the Scientific Method observe
question
Make a testable explanation (hypothesis)
experiment.
Analyze & collect data
state findings (report conclusions)

5. 6. Energy is ability to do work.
7. The reaction to the stimulus
is the response
8. Organisms must respond to stimuli. The cause of the reaction is the stimulus.

9. 22.The first energy level holds 2 electrons.
2nd energy level holds 8 electrons.
One carbon atom can form four covalent bonds with other atoms.
The activation energy is the minimum amount of energy needed to get a reaction started.

10. 25. Enzymes are proteins that decrease the activation energy needed for a reaction to begin.
e. A chemical reaction is a process that changes one set of chemicals into another set of chemicals.

11. 25.
a. lipids are made up of fats, oils, waxes, steroids
b. Organisms use carbohydrates as their main source of energy
c. Proteins are made of amino acids

12. d. Acids have pH values lower
than 7.
Bases have pH values higher

13. Chapter 7
26. Scientists first observed tiny organisms using microscopes. Hooke first described cells.
27. All living organisms are made of cells, come from pre-existing cells, and the cells are the basic unit
28. Prokaryotic cells are cells lack a nucleus. Bacteria are prokaryotic.
29. Eukaryotic cells contain a nucleus.
