| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The study of all living things. | 1) Biology |
| The structural, functional and biological unit of all organisms. | 2) Cell |
| (1) Having or consisting of only one cell. (2) Pertaining to an organism whose functions are all carried out within one cell. | 3) Unicellular |
| Having or consisting of many cells or more than one cell to perform all vital functions. | 4)multicellular |
| a specialized part of a cell; analogous to an organ; "the first organelle to be identified was the nucleus" | 5) organelle |
| large molecules that are abundantly found in living organisms and are essential for life. | 6) biological molecule |
| The ability of the body or a cell to seek and maintain a condition of equilibrium or stability within its internal environment when dealing with external changes | 7) homeostasis |
| the sum of the physical and chemical processes in an organism by which its material substance is produced, maintained, and destroyed, and by which energy is made available. | 8)metabolism |
| The act of developing or disclosing that which is unknown; a gradual unfolding process by which anything is developed, as a plan or method, or an image upon a photographic plate; gradual advancement or growth through a series of progressive changes | 9)development |
| The sexual or asexual process by which organisms generate new individuals of the same kind; procreation. | 10)reproduction |
| A method of procedure that has characterized natural science since the 17th century, consisting in systematic observation, measurement, and experiment, and the formulation, testing, and modification of hypotheses | 11)scientific method |
| an act or instance of viewing or noting a fact or occurrence for some scientific or other special purpose | 12)observation |
| a proposition, or set of propositions, set forth as an explanation for the occurrence of some specified group of phenomena, either asserted merely as a provisional conjecture to guide investigation | 13)hypothesis |
| something predicted; a forecast, prophecy, etc | 14)prediction |
| a test, trial, or tentative procedure; an act or operation for the purpose of discovering something unknown or of testing a principle | 15)experiment |
| There are usually two group in any experiment, one group is experimented on, and the other group, the control group, isn't. The control group is used to examine how the experiment affected those who participated. | 16)control group |
| opposite of control group | 17)experimental group |
| Independent variables are the variables that the experimenter changes to test their dependent variable. | 18)independent variable |
| 2) A factor whose value changes when the independent variable is changed. (3) The variable whose value is measured to determine the extent of the effect of another variable to it, as in an experiment. | 19)dependent variable |
| a proposed explanation whose status is still conjectural and subject to experimentation, in contrast to well-established propositions that are regarded as reporting matters of actual fact. | 20)theory |
| is the evaluation of creative work or performance by other people in the same field | 21)peer review |
| the amount of space occupied by a three-dimensional object as measured in cubic units the amount of space occupied by a three-dimensional object as measured in cubic units | 22)volume |
| A measure of how much matter is in an object. | 23)mass |
| An object's weight depends on its mass and the strength of the gravitational pull. | 24)weight |
| Density refers to how tightly or loosely packed a substance is, or to the number of things or people in a certain area. | 25)density |
| A distinct part of an organism that performs one or more specialized functions. Examples of organs are the eyes, ears, lungs, | 26) organ |
| A large mass of similar cells that make up a part of an organism and perform a specific function | 27) tissue |
| A group of organs that work together to carry out a particular task. | 28) organ system |
