Science Notes
● IV/DV
■ Independent variable is what we change
■ Dependent variable is something you can measure
■ Constant is what stays the same every trial
■ Control is the group that doesn’t have the independent variable applied
● Asking scientific questions
■ When the __ has no __ what happens?
■ What is the impact on with ___ on __?
■ What would happen if you __?
● Cell theory
■ Cells are made from other cells
■ All living things are made of cells
■ Cells are the smallest unit of life
● Mitosis
■ Interphase (Just a cell)
■ Prophase (pack up)
■ Metaphase (Middle)
■ Anaphase (apart)
■ Telophase (Two sister cells)
■ Cytokinesis (Two brand new cells
■ (Repeat)
● Plant VS. Animal cells
■ Plants have chloroplasts (Animals do not)
■ Plants have cell walls (Animals do not)
■ Plants have sharp square cell walls (Animals do not)
■ Plants have bigger vacuals
● Organelles
■ Michrocondria (The powerhouse of the cell)
■ Vacuole (Storage container)
■ E.R (Highway of the cell)
■ Rimosones (Protein)
■ Nucleus (Holds DNA)
■ Cell membrane (Selectively permeable)
● DNA
■ Structure (Double helix
■ Function (Code for proteins)
■ Bases (C to G, A to T)
■ Backbone on DNA made of phosphate and Deoxyribose (Type of sugar)
● 3 Domains
● 6 Kingdoms
■ Eukarya, Archae, Bacteria (Domains)
■ Kingdoms of Bacteria (Eubacteria)
■ Kingdom of Archae (Archebacteria)
■ Kingdom of Eukarya (Fungi, Plantae, Animalia, Protista)
■ Autotroph (Can make their own food) < (Plantae, Protista, Archebacteria,
Eubacteria)
■ Heterotroph (Can’t make their own food) < (Animalia, Fungi, Protista,
Archebacteria, Eubateria)
■ Multicelluar (More than one cell) < (Fungi, Plantae, Animalia, Protista)
■ Unicellular (One cell) < (Archebacteria, Eubacteria)
● Adaptations
■ Increasing somethings fitness
● Inheritance
■ Two different alleles are heterozygous
■ Two of the same alleles are homozygous
■ The dominant allele is what your going to see
● Photosynthesis
○ Reactants
■ H2O + CO2+ Sunlight = O2 and Glucose
● Cellular Respiration
■ O2 + Glucose= H2O AND ATP
● Energy pyramids
■ Primary
■ Secondary
■ Losing energy as we go
● Multicellular organism's hierarchy of cellular organization
■ Cells
■ Tissue
■ Organs
■ Organ systems
■ Organisms
● Evolution of a species
○ What are 3 things that lead to it?
■ Climate change
■ MutationS
