Question
Answer
biology   scientific study of life  
🗑
cellular organization   all living things are organized and made up of cells... metabolism, homeostasis, reproduction, heredity, movement, stimuli and complexity  
🗑
cell theory   every living thing is made of cells  
🗑
unicellular   made of one cell  
🗑
multicelluar   made of more than one cell  
🗑
metabolism   all the chemical reactions that are going on inside the body  
🗑
homeostasis   perfect balance  
🗑
types of reproduction   asexual and sexual  
🗑
asexual   indivdial reproducing on its own... divides in half and both are identical  
🗑
sexual   BEN <3 YOU RACHEL two parents both contribute half the genetic infromation, offspring is not identical to either parent  
🗑
heredity   transmission of characteristics from parent to child, stored in the dna  
🗑
movement   happens at least once in its lifespan, movement is needed to be concidered alive  
🗑
stimuli   responce to changes inside and outside of the body  
🗑
complexity   all living things are complex  
🗑
evolution   gradual change in a populations characteritics over time  
🗑
natural selection   decent with modification, common ancestor, each adapted to a way of life, driving force of life process by which the individual most adapted to their enviroment are most likly to produce heathly offspring who in turn reproduce  
🗑
taxonomy   science of classifiying living things into groups  
🗑
list the 7 taxonomy classifications   kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species King Philip Came Over For Great Spaghetti

🗑
protista   one celled plants, fungi, and animals  
🗑
plantae   multicelluar plants  
🗑
animalia   multicelluar animals  
🗑
binimial nomenclature   a system of two names, genus-species (genus is captialized, species lower case)  
🗑
scientific method   the method of proving or disproving a hypthesis made off of observations  
🗑
theory   after many retest, if they all result in the same answer, it is a fact science has not disproved  
🗑
atom   one unit of a certain type of element

hydroprobic   does not desolve in water(non polar) ex. fats and oils  
🗑
polar   has a negative end and postive end ( - oxygen, + hydrogen) ex. water  
🗑
hydrophilic   water loving  
🗑
properties of water   polar, cohesion, adhesion, high specific heat  
🗑
cohesion   water is attracted to water  
🗑
adheasion   water sticks to other polar compounds  
🗑
high specific heat   water has to gain or lose alot of energy before it changes tempature  
🗑
acid H+   something that when it breakes up it gives up a hydrogen ion (dissoiates) Hydrogen ion H+  
🗑
base OH-   something when it is dossoiates it releases hydroxide ions Hydroxide ion OH-

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
