1. Science is the...: Collection of unified insights about nature, the
evidence of which is an array of facts.
2. A theory is the...: Generalization that explains many observation - has
been tested and researchers have yet to find evidence that disproves it -
usually generates many hypotheses.
3. A hypothesis is an...: Tentative, testable explanation for an observed
phenomenon.
4. What are the steps of the Scientific Method?: 1. Observation
2. Hypothesis
3. Experiment / Test
4. Conclusion
5. An atom is...: The basic unit of matter composed of protons, neutrons,
and electrons.
,6. Water provides basis for...: Life.
7. Surface tension is when water molecules...: Bond to each more strongly
that to air.
8. The properties of water include...: - Being polar.
- Having high heat capacity.
- Acts as a solvent.
9. How is pH important to living organisms?: - Most reactions can only occur
at certain acidities. - Enzymes only work at certain pH levels.
10. Organic compounds contain...: Carbon.
11. Carbon is so important in the molecules that make up living organisms
because...: It's ability to form four covalent bonds allows it to create a
variety of other structures.
12. Within a water molecule it is __________________ bonds that bond
hydrogens to oxygen, and then within water itself________________bonds
attract water molecules to one another.: polar covalent / hydrogen
, 13. Carbohydrates are important to living organisms because...: They break
down to glucose and provide energy.
14. Lipids are important to living organisms because...: They help store
energy (insulation). 15. When a sodium atom loses an electron to a chlorine
atom this gives the sodium a ______________ charge.: positive
16. If lime (a base) is spread on a field with acidic soil, then the pH of the
soil will:: Become less acidic.
17. A saturated fatty acid contain...: All C-C bonds, and are single bonds (no
double bonds).
18. An unsaturated fatty acid contains...: At least one C-C bond, and is a
double bond.
19. In what types of foods are saturated fatty acids found?: In animal-
based foods such as meat, butter, cheese, and whole milk.
20. In what types of foods are unsaturated fatty acids found?: In plant-
based foods and oils, such as olive oil, canola oil, nuts, seeds, avocados.
Also in many types of fish.
