Bio 1 Exam 1

QuestionAnswer
cells split to grow and create offspring growth, development and reproduction
no sever changes on the conditions of living things homeostasis
living things bread things down for energy energy utilization
all living things are made of one or more living cells cellular organization
properties of living organisms cellular organization, energy utilization, homeostasis, growth, development and reproduction, and heredity
5 kingdoms Bacteria, archea, animals, plants, and fungi (protist was 6)
3 Domains of life Archea, bacteria, and eukaryotes
genetic systems, replication and duplication of DNA genes passed to offspring heredity
deductive reasoning observations from general principles to predict specific results, always true, ex. "if all mammals have hair, then an animal without hair is not a mammal"
inductive reasoning use specific cases to predict general principles, not always true, ex. "all animals with bills and webbed feet are all ducks" (think of platypus)
abductive reasoning use observations to form hypothesis that can be tested, not always true ex. "see wet grass, it has rained"(most probably explanation but not true)
theory generally accepted and well-founded dogma. body of connected concepts and not confined to single statements
observation taken in by the 5 senses, qualitative and quantitative
fact confirmed true observations
hypothesis statement of deduction that leads to prediction
conclusion reason-based statement made about hypothesis that has been tested
dogma what majority of scientist believes is the case and believed to be true
law descriptive generalization about natural world behaves under certain circumstances
deductive theory proposed explanation for natural phenomenon, based on general principles EX. theory of gravity
inductive theory interconnected concepts, supported by inductive scientific reasoning and experimental evidence, explain factors in some areas of study EX. quantum theory (set of ideas about nature from experiments)
reductionalism reducing living things down to its working parts to understand complex systems, however has limits and misses emergent properties
systems biology dealing with all the systems as one and studying emergent properties
scientific method steps observation>question>hypothesis>experiment>analysis
where are protons and neutrons found in atoms nucleus
where are electrons found in atoms electron shell
what are isotopes atoms with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons (different mass)
energy levels levels outside of nucleus, the more levels the more energy an atom has, 1st=2 electrons, 2nd=8 electrons
orbitals 2 electrons per orbital but multiple orbitals per energy level
energy of electrons potential energy, further away from nucleus the more energy electrons have
what does redox mean oxidation reduction
oxidation reduction electrons transferred form one atom to another
oxidation loss of electron resulting in a positive change (oxygen likes to steal so usually the cause of this loss)
reduction gain of electrons resulting in a negative charge
organization of the periodic table displayed based on atomic number and valence electrons (reatability) going left to right and elements more common on earth are at the top while more rare is towards the bottom
what elements make up biological systems carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen
ions atoms that have gained or lost electrons resulting in a charge
cations positivly charged ions
anions negativly charged ions
ionic bonds attraction of opposite charged ions (2nd strongest bond)
covalent bond atoms that share electrons, stay close, and forms bonds (strongest bonds)
electronegativity an atoms affinity for electrons
nonpolar covalent bonds two atoms with same electronegativity shares electrons equally creating no charge
polar covalent bonds two atoms with different electronegativity that share electrons unequally giving one side a positive charge and the other negative
hydrogen bonds 1 polar molecule bonds with hydrogen in different molecule through attraction of opposite charges, weak, important to animals, and gives water its properties
van der Waals attraction weak, last for only a millisecond when atoms are so close to one another they have an interaction and recognize shape, important when antibodies in blood recognize shape of virus
hydrophobic interactions water pushes hydrophobic molecules together which give shape and keep molecules together and molecules can for other bonds
chemical reaction equation reactants = products
what can affect the chemical reaction temperature, concentration of reactants and products, and catalysts
what are the properties of water hydrogen bonding, ability to dissolve polar substances, cohesion and adhesion, high specific heat and heat of vaporization, solid water is less dense than liquid water, and organize polar molecules
cohesion the ability of molecules to attract to one another
adhesion stick to other things
acids dissociates in water to increase hydrogen ions and increase pH (0-6)
bases combines with hydrogen ions in water to lower and lower pH (8-14)
buffers resist change in pH, releases h+ when base is found, absorbs h+ when acid is found, slows change of pH when changing out of region (usually near 7pH),
why do cells keep a neutral pH so proteins and catalyst aren't denatured in the cell

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
