| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| observation | use of one or more of the senses |
| inference | logical interpretation based on prior knowledge knowledge and experince |
| spontaneous generation | stating that life could arise from nonlicing matter |
| hypothesis | possible explanation for a set of observations or possible answer to a scientific question |
| controlled experiment | a test of the effect of a single variable by changing it while keeping all other variables the same. |
| scientific theory | A well tested obsevation |
| sexual reproduction | process by which two cells from different parents unite to produce the first cell of a new organism |
| asexual reproduction | process by which a single parent reproduces by itself |
| homeostasis | process by which organisms maintain a relatively stable internal environment |
| make up of an atom | the subatomic particles that make up an atom are protons, neutrons; and electrons. |
| covalent bond | bond formed by the sharing of electrons |
| why is a water molecule polar? | there is an uneven distribution of electrons between the oxygen and hydrogen atons |
| limiting nutrient | singel nutrient that either is scare or cycles very slowly limiting the growth of organisms in an ecosytem |
| how can a graph be easier than a table? | because you can just glance at a graph |
| why is the metric system better? | it is used by most scientist, so they can compare their work easily. cause if they used all different systems they would have difficulty comparing |
| Variable | is something you can change |
| control | stays the same |
| inference | logical interpretation based on prior knowledge and experience |
| Solution | mixture of 2 or more substances; evenly distributed |
| Consumers | relies on other organisms for food |
| producers | make their own food |
| herbivores | eat plants only |
| omnivores | plants and meat |
| Heterotrophs | obtains energy from food it consumes; carnivore |
| decomposers | break down materials |
| detrivore | organism that feeds on plant and animal remains and other dead matter |
| food web | how organisms connect; and relate to one another |
| food chain | order in which organism go; lion, hawk, snake, bird, grasshopper, grass |
| rule of ten | remove a zero each time |
| how energy moves through the biosphere vs matter in the biosphere | energy is a one way flow; matter is recycled within and between ecosystems. |
| nitrogen fixation | process of converting nitrogen gas into ammonia |
| primary productivity | rate at which organic matter is created by producers |
| phosphorus runoff | comes form fields and causes algee blooms |
