This is the
variable that is
changed by the
scientist during an
experiment
What is the
independent
variable?
This is a proposed
explanation backed up by
a multitude (many)
experiments.
What is a theory?
This is what we call a
group of related parts
working together –
examples include atoms,
cells, the human body, or
an ecosysten.
What is a system?
This is the word used to
describe a living things
response to its environment
by doing things such as
shivering, sweating, or
dilating pupils.
What is
homeostasis?
This is the word used to
describe changes in living
things over time.
What is evolution?
This is the property of water
that allows it to stick to
itself.
What is cohesion?
This is property of water
that allows it to stick to
other items.
What is adhesion?
This is the property of water
that allows it to resist
changes to temperature.
What is high specific heat?
This is the type of bond
where 2 atoms share a pair
of electrons.
What is a covalent
bond?
This is the type of bond that
allows water molecules to
stick to one another and
other surfaces. It is the
result of positive hydrogens
combining with negative
oxygens.
What is a hydrogen
bond?
These are the four
macromolecules (must list
all four for the answer to be
counted).
What are
carbohydrates,
lipids, proteins,
and nucleic acids?
These are the
monomer of
carbohydrates.
What are simple sugars
(also accept
monosaccharaides, glucose,
or fructose)?
These are the
monomers of
proteins.
What are amino
acids?
These are the
monomers of nucleic
acids.
What are
nucleotides?
Name one function
of a lipid.
What are longterm energy
storage, cell membrane
structure, or waterproofing
of biological organisms
(other answers may be
accepted at Ms. Dellert’s
discretion)?
These are the 3
reactants of
photosynthesis.
What are carbon
dioxide, water, and
light energy
(sunlight)?
These are the 2 things
created by
photosynthesis
(products).
What oxygen and
glucose (sugar)?
These are the 3 things
made during cellular
respiration.
What are ATP (chemical
energy), water, and carbon
dioxide?
This is the full
formula for
photosynthesis.
What is
6H2O + 6CO2 + light 
C6H12O6 + 6O2?
This is the full formula
for cellular respiration.
What is
C6H12O6 + 6O2 
6H2O + 6CO2 + ATP
This is a type of cell
without a nucleus or
membrane bound
organelles.
What is a prokaryote or
prokaryotic cell?
This is the DNA
base that pairs with
adenine.
What is thymine?
This is when DNA
replication takes
place during the
cell cycle.
What is
interphase?
This is the type of
cell division that
produces two
identical daughter
cells.
What is mitosis?
This is what is
created during
meiosis (include
number and type
of cell).
What are 4
gametes (sex cells)?
Make your wager
Name two organelles that
are only found in a plant
cell AND two organelles
that are only found in an
animal cell.
PLANT: Chloroplast, cell
wall, or central vacuole
ANIMAL: Lysosomes and
centrioles
