1. Answer: to answer questions about the natural world

The aim of scientific method is to answer a question that the scientist have. To answer the question, the scientist need to design a research or observation. If the research is flawed, the result might not match with the scientist aim and the conclusion will be wrong. Scientific method can be used to help design the research so it will have less flaw


2. Answer: fertilizer

The student wants to determine the effect of a certain brand of liquid fertilizer on the growth of ivy. The fertilizer are hoped to influence the growth of the ivy. Independent variable is the variable that hoped to influence the dependent variable. So, the independent variable would be fertilizer.

3. Answer: soil; light

Control variable is the variable that could influence the independent variable, but doesn't want to be observed. Control variable should be made same so it wont influence the result.  In this case, the plant use the same amount of soil. The plant also put in front of a same window, so they should get the same amount of sunlight.


4. Answer: Humidty

The scientist wants to determine if humidity affects chirping in crickets. The humidity hoped to affects the chirping in crickets. Independent variable is the variable that hoped to influence the dependent variable. So, the humidity is independent variable while the number of chirping is the dependent variable.

5. Answer: dependent variable

The scientist is testing the efficiency of various microwaves by measuring the temperature of water. The microwaves is hoped to influence the temperature of the water. So, the temperature would be the dependent variable of the experiment and the microwaves will be the independent variable


6. Answer: water; air; soil


Abiotic factor consist of factor that made of non-living things. Water, air and soil is not a living things. Animals like elephant should be clearly living so they are biotic factor. Grass and tree could not move freely like animal and hard to determine if still living or not, but they should be considered as living thing.

7. Answer: an alligator submerges itself under water to stay cool in the summer; an alligator suns itself on the shore to raise its body temperature.

If a bird picks food from alligator teeth, it would be interaction of biotic factor with biotic factors. Alligator trying to control their body temperature by sunbath or submerge would be interaction between abiotic factor(sunlight, water) with biotic factor(alligator). Oxygenated water is interaction between abiotic factor(water) with abiotic factor(air/oxygen).

8. Answer: strong adhesion

Water has high heat capacity  which makes it temperature hard to changes. It will need more energy/heat to change the temperature of water when compared to air. Adhesion of water makes it could stick to other things while cohesion makes the water stick to itself. The force that cause molecules of water to stick to the sides of a drinking straw would be adhesion.

9. Answer: 14

oxygen has atomic number 8 and atomic mass of 14. The atomic number show the amount of proton and electron that the oxygen has while the atomic mass show the sum of proton and neutron. The number of protons and neutrons in stable oxygen would be 14, same as the atomic mass.

10.  Answer: protons; neutrons


Protons and neutrons could be found in the nucleus of the atom while the electron is orbiting in the outer layer. The mass of the atom mostly contributed by the protons and neutrons while the electron is too small and their mass is negligible.

11. Answer:  ions are atoms with extra electrons or too few electrons; isotopes are atoms with extra neutrons or too few neutrons; isotopes are radioactive

When an atom has less electron it will be called cation while the atom with more electron called anion. Isotopes have different number of neutrons which make some of them become radioactive. Isotope should have the same number of electrons.

12. Answer: it has 4 valence electrons, so it can make 4 strong bond with other atoms.

Carbon made most of the organic compound. Carbon can be found in carbohydrate, protein and lipid. It has 4 valence electrons which enable 4 slot of covalent bond with oxygen and hydrogen which allow those 3 molecule to have many type of bonds.

13. Need image to answer

14. Answer: The compound has different properties, because the bonds cause structural changes of the elements

Compound will have different properties compared to the element that makes it. Table salt is made of natrium and chlorine atom. The natrium element will explode when exposed to water while natrium chloride is found most in the sea.

15. Answer: exothermic

Reaction that produce energy will be called exothermic while reaction that absorb energy called endothermic. If the reaction cause light and explosion, then the reaction should produce energy and called exothermic. The ion or compound should have no relation in this.

From a chemical view, how is an amino acid is being recognized by its specific aminoacyl tRNA synthetase?
hammer [34]

During translation, rRNA and tRNA read mRNA in 5´ to 3´ direction. According to the codons being readen, tRNA transfers the correct amino acids to build the polypeptide chain. A codon is a short sequence of three nucleotides that store the genetic information for the aminoacids´ assembly.

Each tRNA has two important sites. One of them that couples with the codon of the mRNA molecule, named anticodon. The other site couples with an amino acid through the action of the aminoacyl-tRNA synthase enzyme. The whole complex, amino acid + enzyme + tRNA is named aminoacyl-tRNA.        

Each tRNA is recognized by a specific aminoacyl-tRNA synthase enzyme. The enzyme is also capable of recognizing a specific amino acid. Let us say, for instance, that <em>tRNA is specific for phenylalanine.</em> The molecule is attached to the <em>enzyme that is specific for that tRNA(Phe)</em>. Then, when the enzyme and tRNA(Phe) are together, they get to <em>find phenylalanine</em>. The <em>enzyme links the aminoacid to the RNA</em>. Once the whole complex is formed, the <em>tRNA gets to pair its anticodon with the mRNA codon</em>. This is,

  1. Recognition of enzyme and the specific tRNA(aa) ⇒ aa being aminoacid
  2. Recognition of enzyme and the specific aminoacid
  3. Linkage of the aminoacid to RNA by the enzyme action
  4. Pairing of tRNA anticodon to mRNA codon.

Considering that there are twenty amino acids available, there are also twenty complexes of aminoacyl-tRNA, one for each amino acid. Each of the mRNA codons represents one of the 20 amino acids used to build the protein. Each amino acid can be codified by more than one codon. Of the total 64 codons, 61 codify amino acids, and one is a start codon. The left three codons are stopping translation points.

tRNA decodes genetic information from the nucleotidic sequence in the mRNA molecule and allows amino acids to align composing the new protein.  

Once the new peptidic link joins, placing together the new amino acid to the growing peptidic chain, the binding between the amino acid and the tRNA molecule breaks. The tRNA is now free to join another amino acid and repeat the cycle.

In conclusion, a specific aminoacyl-tRNA synthase enzyme recognizes a tRNA, which is also specific for a certain amino acid. When together, the enzyme recognizes the amino acid and links it to the RNA. The whole complex is known as aminoacyl-tRNA. Once the tRNA is joined to its amino acid, it gets to pair a codon of mRNA to add that amino acid to the new synthesizing protein.

A neurotransmitter may have an excitatory or an inhibitory effect on the postsynaptic cell, depending on __________.
Otrada [13]

A neurotransmitter can have an excitatory or inhibitory effect on the postsynaptic cell, depending on <u>which of its </u><u>receptor(s</u><u>) are present on the </u><u>postsynaptic</u><u> (target) cell.</u>

<h3>How do excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters act?</h3>

Sometimes neurotransmitters can bind to receptors and cause an electrical signal to be transmitted through the cell (excitatory). In other cases, the neurotransmitter can prevent the signal from continuing, preventing the message from being carried (inhibitory).

With this information, we can conclude that a neurotransmitter is a signaling molecule secreted by a neuron to affect another cell across a synapse.
