It transports different materials inside and outside of the cell.
plasma membrane
In scientific method, what is the 3rd step?
Formulate hypothesis
This is the variable measured in an experiment.
Dependent variable
Scientific theory is a m_____.
model
SI unit of luminous intensity
Candela (cd)
SI unit of amount of substance
mole (mol)
One of the earth's spheres where life can exist.
Biosphere
These type of rocks are formed from cooling of magma.
igneous rocks
Marble is an example of a metamorphic rock which is from l________, a sedimentary rock.
limestone
It is a geological process in which earthen materials are worn away and transported by natural forces such as wind or water.
erosion
It is the process by which unconsolidated materials are converted into coherent solid rock, as by compaction or cementation.
Lithification
What enzyme is present in the bacteria, Azotobacter and Rhizobium, which has the capability to combine gaseous nitrogen with hydrogen to form ammonia?
nitrogenase enzyme
What is the most abundant gas in Earth's atmosphere?
Nitrogen (78%)
It is a cold layer of the atmosphere where temperature generally decreases with increasing altitude.
mesosphere
It is a layer of the atmosphere where it is wider at the equator than at the poles because the equator is warmer.
troposphere
It is the layer of the atmosphere which is warmer at the top than the bottom.
stratosphere
It is the most external layer of the atmosphere where temperature exceeds 2000C.
exosphere
Why is the temperature in thermosphere hot?
Few molecules present in thermosphere receive extraordinary large amounts of energy from the Sun.
In ecology, it is an area of the planet classified according to the plants and animals that live in it.
biome
A geocentric view stating that the Earth lay at the center of the universe, with the sun, moon, and known planets, revolving around it in complicated orbits.
Ptolemaic theory
A heliocentric view stating that the Earth and planets rotated around the sun, which is at the center.
Copernican theory
This theory proposes that solar system was formed from nebula cloud, made from a collection of dust and gas.
Nebular theory
It is a ball of frozen gases, rock, and dust; icy body releasing gases as it orbits around the sun.
comet
It is a rocky object in space which orbits in a belt between Mars and Jupiter in the solar system.
asteroid
This happens when the Earth passes between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow on the moon.
lunar eclipse
It is an organelle in some plant cells that stores starch and commonly found in starchy plants such as tubers and fruits.
amyloplast
A thick and rigid membrane in the cell that serves as support and structure; maintains shape of the cell and protects it from external injury.
cell wall
What is the difference between cell membrane and plasma membrane?
Plasma membrane encloses the organelles while the cell membrane encloses the cells.
It is a semi-permeable membrane present in the cell which regulates the entry and exit of specific substances within the cell.
cell membrane
This is only found in animal cells where it contains centrioles. It is also where microtubules are made; directs the pole of spindle apparatus.
centrosome
Part of the cell where photosynthesis takes place.
choloroplast
It is a molecule that uses light energy to perform photosynthesis; natural compound present in plants that gives them color green.
chlorophyll
It is a gelatinous liquid inside the cell containing organic and inorganic compounds which holds the different organelles and perform organic functions.
cytoplasm
It is a membranous vesicles stacked upon one another with expanded bulges at their side; sorts and transports molecules for export into plasma membrane or other cells.
golgi body
It is a double membrane-bound organelle that serves as site for cellular respiration and provides energy by breaking down carbohydrate and sugar molecules.
mitochondrion
It keeps the nucleoplasm, chromosome, and nucleus distinct from cytoplasm.
nuclear membrane
It is an organelle which produces ribosomes and ribosomal RNA.
nucleolus
It is an organelle which controls the total activity of the cell and contains the genetic material or DNA; serves as site of DNA and RNA biosynthesis.
nucleus
These are small organelles composed of RNA-rich cytoplasmic granules that are sites of protein synthesis.
ribosomes
It is an organelle continuous with the outer nuclear membrane; produces proteins for the rest of the cell to function and contains enzymes responsible for detoxifying substances that gain entry to the cell.
