Biologists categorize all living things based on related characteristics into large groups called kingdoms
Living things can be distinguished from nonliving things because they have cellular organization
Living things are organized. What is the answer that illustrates this complexity, and is arranged from smallest to largest. atom, molecule, organelle, cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism, population, species, community, ecosystem
At each higher level in the hierarchy of living things, properties occur that were not present at the simpler levels. These properties are referred to as emergent properties
The five general biological themes include evolution, energy flow, cooperation, structure determines function, and homeostasis.
When you are trying to understand something new you begin by observation, and then put the observations together in a logical fashion to form a general principle. This method is called inductive reasoning
When trying to figure out explanations for observations, you usually construct a series of possible hypotheses. Then you make predictions of what will happen if each hypothesis is true, and test each hypothesis, using appropriate controls, to rule out as many as possible.
Which of the following statements is correct regarding a hypothesis? After sufficient testing you can accept it as probable, being aware that it may be revised or rejected in the future.
Cell theory states that all living organisms consist of cells, and all cells come from other cells.
