Biology ch.1-5
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| adaptation ch.1 | the behavior that make an organism better able to survive and reproduce; the evolutionary process that leads to the development or persistence of such a trait |
| Archaea ch.1 | living organisms that are put into a domain. they are prokaryotes. In the tree of life they are second from the top |
| Bacteria ch.1 | prokaryote. In the family tree of life they are the first group from the top. |
| cell theory ch.1 | - Cells are the basic structural and physiological units of all living organisms. - all organisms are composed of cells - all cells come from preexisting cells |
| cellular specialization ch.1 | Enables multicellular eukaryotes to increase in size and become more efficient at gathering resources and adapting to specific environments |
| comparative method ch.1 | Prediction that there will be a difference between samples or groups based on our hypothesis. |
| controlled experiment ch.1 | Comparing samples or groups, but starting the experiment with groups that are as similar as possible |
| data ch.1 | qualified observations or results. |
| DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) ch.1 | deoxyribonucleic acids. Molecules that are long sequences of four different subunits. |
| domain ch.1 | Molecular evidence that has been used to seperate all living organisms into three different groups: Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya |
| Eukarya ch.1 | Have eukaryotic cells. |
| Eukaryotes ch.1 | The nucleus has the appearance of a dense kernel, as distinguished the cells of prokaryotes, which lack internal compartments. |
| evolution ch.1 | is the development and creation of species |
| experiment ch.1 | Projects that have the ability to show that the prediction is wrong. |
| genome ch.1 | the sum total of all the DNA molecules in the cell. Where a cells blueprints are contributed in. |
| hypothesis ch.1 | Inductive logic used to propose a tentative answer to a question. |
| metabolism ch.1 | The sum total of all chemical reactions that go on inside the cell. To fuel this, the earliest prokaryotes took in molecules directly from their environment, breaking small molecules down to release the energy contained in their chemical bonds. |
| model system ch.1 | knowledge gained from investigations of one type of organism, with care, to be generalized to other organisms |
| natural selection ch.1 | living organisms are descended from commons ancestors and are therefore related to one another. |
| nucleotide ch.1 | The sequence of the Nucleotides contains genetic information. |
| null hypothesis ch.1 | The premise that no difference exists. |
| organelles ch.1 | Cells with discrete intracellular compartments, they are capable of taking on specialized cellular functions. |
| photosynthesis ch.1 | The chemical reactions of photosynthesis transform the energy of sunlight into a form of energy that can power the synthesis of large biological molecules. |
| prokaryotes ch.1 | The first unicellular organisms, their cell structure consists of DNA and other biochemicals enclosed in a membrane. |
| protein ch.1 | One of the most fundamental building substances of living organisms. A long-chain polymer of amino acids with twenty different common side chains. |
| scientific method ch.1 | The conceptual approach that underlines the design and conduct of most modern scientific investigations. |
| species ch.1 | a group of organisms that look alike and can breed successfully with one another. |
| acid ch.2 | |
| anion atom ch.2 | |
| atomic mass unit (amu) ch.2 | |

| reactant ch.2 | |
| reversible reaction ch.2 | |
| solute ch.2 | |
| solution ch.2 | |
| solvent ch.2 | |
| specific heat ch.2 | |
| van der Waals forces ch.2 |
