Version (Brock University)
Scientific Method Correct Answer Investigative approach to acquiring knowledge

Hypothesis Correct Answer Ideas that potentially explain a repeated observation

Proximate Hypothesis Correct Answer Address the cause of immediate changes
in individual phenotypes or interactions

Ultimate hypothesis Correct Answer Address the fitness costs and benefits of a
response

Scientific theory Correct Answer An accepted explanation for how nature works -
i.e. the Cell Theory: all organisms are made of cells.

Matter Correct Answer Any substance that has mass and occupies space: solids,
liquids, gases

Element Correct Answer Pure substance made up of only one kind of atom

Atom Correct Answer Smallest unit that retains all chemical & physical properties

Electronegativity Correct Answer An atom's ability to attract the electrons in
covalent bonds

Polar covalent bond Correct Answer A covalent bond in which electrons are NOT
shared equally

Non-polar molecules Correct Answer Molecules that are hydrophobic, consist of
C-H bonds in bio systems

Polar molecules Correct Answer Molecules that are hydrophilic, attract and align
themselves with molecules of similarity

Hydrogen bonds Correct Answer Very weak bonds; occurs when a hydrogen
atom in one molecule is attracted to the electrostatic atom in another molecule

van der Waals forces Correct Answer A slight attraction that develops between
non-polar molecules or N-P regions when electrons accumulate in one part of the
molecule, leading to zones of positive or negative charge

Cell theory Correct Answer The idea that all living things are composed of cells,
cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things, and new cells are
produced from pre-existing cells

Cells Correct Answer _______ carry out all essential processes of life

, Viruses Correct Answer _________ cannot carry out all features of life

and protists.

Nuclear envelope Correct Answer Double membrane perforated with pores that
control the flow of materials in and out of the nucleus.

Nuclear pore complex Correct Answer Cylindrical structure made of nucleoporin
proteins

Nuclear pore Correct Answer Channel through nuclear pore complex; pass RNA
& proteins

Nucleolus Correct Answer Found inside the nucleus, produces ribosomal
subunits

Endoplasmic Reticulum Correct Answer Cell organelle which is a interconnected
network of membranous channels & vesicles

Rough ER Correct Answer Part of the ER with ribosomes on the outer surface,
synthesizes proteins that enter ER lumen to be modified chemically, delivers proteins
to small membrane vesicles.

Smooth ER Correct Answer Part of the ER with no ribosomes on outer surface,
synthesizes lipids that become apart of the cell membrane.

Golgi complex Correct Answer Cell organelle: stack of flattened membranous
sacs (cristae). Vesicles from ER fuse with "cis" side and release new proteins into
cisternae. Modified proteins are sorted into vesicles that bud off "trans" side.
