Biology Chapter 1
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| how does biodiversity change around the world? | the warmer the place the more living things there are |
| what characteristics do living things share? | all made of one or more cells, needs energy for metabolism, responds to its environment, has DNA it can that it can pass off to its offspring |
| how do we organize living things? | put them in systems based on functions |
| how do we use systems to describe life? | all organisms have/use systems in their life |
| how does form fit function? | example: the kind of teeth show what kinds of functions it performs |
| what purpose does homeostasis serve? | it maintains constant internal conditions in an organism which is needed to survive |
| how does evolution change how we view the living world? | Evolution as helped us understand how different and similar organisms can be. |
| what does adaptation have to do with form fitting function? | Adaptations are changes in structure that convey functions. |
| how is biology conducted? | you have cells that make up systems that make up organisms |
| what types of experiments can be done in biology? | experimental and observational |
| how do we generalize and publicize our findings? | we publish them in peer reviewed journals |
| what kinds of technology assist in the study of biology? | computer models and imaging |
| how do LM differ from SEM and TEM? | In a light microscope you can see objects that are not extremely small but SEM and TEM can help you see extremely small objects. (LM is easiest to use) |
| how do we use technology in medicine? | to create medicines, to diagnose diseases |
| what purpose do computers serve? | Computers can generate computer images/models during an experiment when it isn't safe practical or ethical. |
| what is molecular genetics and why is it valuable? | the study of the small parts of DNA and it has helped us learn about genes |
| how does your knowledge of biology benefit your health and that of the world? | it could help us cure cancer |
| what solutions does biotech present? | vaccines, modified plants so that they produce in certain conditions |
| what problems does it imply? | with genetically modified plants we don’t know if there is something in the plant that could harm people |
| what new questions does biotechnology generate? | a question is solved but scientists are always looking for new ways to make it better |
