hypothesis
◦a possible explanation for an observation or possible answer to a question
•Prediction
•: Expected outcome if your hypothesis is correct. Often written as an “If…then” statement
•Experiment
•Test of your prediction, which essentially tests the hypothesis. Generates results; Data collected from conducting the experiment
•Conclusion
•Decision about your hypothesis based on your results. Results support my hypothesis or results do not support my hypothesis
Independent
variable manipulated (changed) by the researcher
Dependent variable
variable counted or measured by the researcher
Controlled variable
all other variables; these are kept constant by the researcher
experimental group
◦receives a treatment (independent variable),while the control group does not
control group
◦compare results from the control group to those from the experimental group to determine if there is a difference due to the independent variable
pendulum experiment
trying to find whether amount of swings was due to weight, string length, or both.
Conclusion of pendulum experiement
length affects the amount of swings
Organic molecules
•are built around carbon- hydrogen bonds
Three of these are used as nutrients
•Carbohydrates
•Lipids or Fats
•Proteins
•These are large molecules and may be
referred to as macronutrients
Carbohydrates
•Primary energy source for cells
• Include sugars and polymers of sugars
•Glucose, fructose; starch, glycogen, cellulose
Carbohydrates
Polysaccharide
Lipids
•Energy source and storage; component of cell membranes
•Includes fats, hormones, triglycerides
Lipids
Triglyceride
Proteins
Amino Acid
Proteins
•Many important functions in cells; mostly used for growth and repair
•Include enzymes, muscle, hair
Micronutrients
•Small nutrient molecules are referred to as micronutrients.
•These may be organic, such as vitamins, or inorganic, such as minerals and water.
•Many micronutrients, other than water, are only needed in small quantities, but are essential for survival.
Vitamins
•Organic micronutrients; important in function of enzymes as coenzymes
•Include B vitamins B & Vitamin C (water-soluble) and Vitamins A, D, E, & K (fat-soluble).
Minerals
•Inorganic micronutrients: including calcium, potassium, iodine, iron, sodium, copper, zinc, etc.
•Have a variety of regulatory roles in the body.
Indicator
•A chemical indicator is a substance that undergoes a distinct observable change when conditions in its solution change.
•This could be a color change, precipitate formation, bubble formation, temperature change, or other measurable quality.
•Examples:
•pH paper
•Presumptive Test for Cocaine
Enzymes
special protein molecules that catalyze chemical reactions in cells
accelerate (speed up) chemical reactions by lowering the amount of activation energy needed for the reaction to occur
are sensitive to changes in the environment
Catalase
Catalase breaks the hydrogen peroxide down into water and oxygen.
peroxisomes
which are important in breaking down toxins in the cell
denatured
enzyme’s activity will fall to zero, as illustrated in the above graph
