Biology unit 1
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Theme 1 | all levels of life have systems of related parts |
Theme 2 | structure determines function |
Theme 3 | organisms must maintain homeostasis to survive |
Theme 4 | evolution explains the unity and diversity of life |
All organisms have ... | families and kingdoms |
3 Domains | Bacteria, Archeria, Eukarya |
Bacteria and Archeria are ... | Prokaryotes : Single celled organisms with no membrane |
Eukarya | Eukaryotes : single or multi cellular organisms that have membrane bound organells |
Biology : | study of life |
7 properties of life | order, sensitivity, reproduction, adaptation, growth and development, regulation, energy processing |
Order | cells are level of organization where life begins |
Sensitivity | responds to external stimuli |
reproduction | living organisms reproduce and pass DNA from parent to offspring |
adaptation | organisms can adapt to their environment |
growth and development | orgs. grow and develop based on instructions in DNA |
Regulation/ homeostasis | cells and orgs. control their internal environment to maintain conditions and internal functions |
energy processing | obtaining energy from external sources and use it for metabolic activities |
Science is ... | a specific way of learning about the natural world (only things we can observe) |
Applied science | aims to use science to solve IMMEDIATE problems |
Inductive reasoning | form of logical thinking that uses related observations to arrive at general conclusion (small to large) |
Deductive reasoning | form of logical thinking that uses general principle or law to forecast specific results (large to small) |
Discovery based science | observation, description, inductive reasoning |
Hypothesis based science | seeking explanations, use general ideas to draw conclusions, deductive reasoning |
Hypothesis | Proposed explanation, must be testable, must be falsifiable |
Theory | explains observations, supported by large body of evidence, generates new hypothesis |
Independent variable | the factor being tested and changed |
Dependent variable | what is being measured/ data being collected |
Hypothesis format | If ... Independent variable, then ... dependent variable |
