=__VOCABULARY__= **// Experimental Design Diagram Notes //**

Effect- noun The effect…. (Used when writing title) ex. __The effect of the I.V. on the D.V__ Affect-Verb… (Used when writing the problem) Ex. __What is the affect of the I.V on the D.V__


 * Experiment ** - well thought out procedure which includes materials list.


 * Experimental Design Diagram ** - Used to set up investigation (not your data table) Includes: I.V. levels of I.V., trial, D.V. and constants


 * I.V ** . is the variable controlled by experimenter ex. **Type of loaf**


 * D.V ** . is a factor that may change as a result of changes made to the independent variable ex. **Size of loaf**


 * Control- ** in a scientific experiment the control is the group that serves as a standard of comparison.
 * Exposed to same conditions
 * Same as experimental group EXCEPT for the variable being tested.
 * All experiments should have a control group


 * Constant ** - factors that remain the same for example: size, amount, color


 * Trials- ** replicated groups that are exposed to the conditions as the experiment.


 * ****Data Table ** - Title, I.V. and D. V (Not the same as an experimental design

NUCLEUS: Control center of the cell; contains information passed to offspring

CELL WALL: Surrounds the cell membrane; provides structure and rigidity

CELL MEMBRANE: Encloses the cell; regulates the flow of the materials in and out of the cell

CYTOPLASM: Watery material that fills most of the cell; site of biochemical reactions

RIBOSOMES: Site of protein synthesis

ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM: Transports materials inside the cell

GOLGI APPARAUTS: Modifies and sorts molecules made by other organelles, and distributes them to where they are needed

VESICLES: Aid in the import and export of molecules

LYSOSOMES: Digest food and recycle organelles

VACUOLES: Store water, nutrients, and other materials; support plant cells

MITOCHONDRIA: Site of cellular respiration

CENTRIOLES: Involved in cell division

CHLOROPLASTS: Site of photosynthesis

EUKARYOTIC CELLS: A type of cell that contains a nucleus

PROKARYOTIC CELLS: A type of cell that does not contain a nucleus

ORGANELLES: Tiny structures inside a cell that carry out the processes of life

CELL: The basic unit of structure and function in all organisms

NUCLEAR MEMBRANE: The membrane surrounding the nucleus

UNICELLULAR ORGANISM: Organism made up of a single cell

MULTICELLULAR ORGANISM: Organism made up of multiple cells
