biology: chapter 1 test
photosynthesis
light → food
metric system
the ____ (measurements based on powers of ten) used by scientists when conducting research
theory
____ (a well-tested explanation that brings together many observations) in science such as evolution, plate tectonics, biogenesis
homeostasis
____ (the internal control of mechanisms) allows for an organism's systems to remain in balance
reproduction
____ (the production of offspring) is a characteristic of life that enables the continuation of species
biology
____ (the science of life) involves learning about the natural world
chemosynthesis
chemical → food
a response is a quick reaction whereas an adaption is over time
compare and contrast a response and an adaptation.
heterotrophs
consume/obtain food
science is knowledge based off the study of nature whereas pseudoscience is an imitation (FALSE SCIENCE)
differentiate between pseudoscience and science.
morals, principles, & values **remember MVP**
ethnical points of view at biology?
control group in an experiment this is the group that is used for comparison experimental group in an experiment this is the group that is exposed to the factor being tested
explain the differences between: control group, experimental group
independent variable is whats being tested and dependent variable is the outcome
explain the differences between: independent variable, dependent variable
you observe to collect data
explain the differences between: observation, data
metric system to our system meter -- length (distance) gram -- mass liter -- volume second -- time celsius/kelvin - temperature
metric system - common biological units
autotrophs
produce their own
- forensics - bird flu / west nile virus - medical advances - global warming - ebola
what are some ways were exposed to biology in everyday life?
1. cells 2. organization 3. growth 4. reproduce 5. response 6. energy 7. homeostasis 8. adaptation (evolve)
what are the characteristics of life?
1. atoms 2. molecules 3. organelles 4. cells 5. tissues 6. organs 7. systems 8. organism
what are the levels of organization?
inherited changes in response to environmental factors
what best describes adaptation?
observation
what is a testable explanation?
responding is a quick reaction whereas adapting is over time
what is the difference between adapting and responding?
qualitative - characteristic quantitive - how many, #
what is the difference between quantitative and qualitative?
it is testable
what is true about scientific inquiry?
kilogram
which SI base unit would be used to describe the physical characteristic of dolphin?
homeostasis graph
which characteristic of life should be the title of this graph?
quantitative data
which describes this statement, "the frog is 4cm long"?
