Biology ch. 1
Mrs. Buchannan ch.1 biology study guide
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| explain how worldview affects scientific interpretation | worldview influences assumptions about reality, God, creation, origins, evidence, and how biological questions are interpreted. |
| compare biblical and naturalistic worldview | a biblical worldview sees God as the source of reality and creation. Also, God is Creator and sovereign over all creation. A naturalistic worldview says that the universe is the product of purely natural causes (evolution) and there is no Creator God |
| explain the Creation Mandate | says God commanded humanity to populate the earth and exercise dominion over creation, managing its resources wisely as stewards |
| explain what it means to be made in God's Image | we have a combination of qualities that God has placed in people as a reflection of Himself. This includes our personalities, emotions, reasoning, planning, a sense of eternity, and the ability to be loved and to love |
| describe Creation | when God intentionally created the earth and everything in it in six 24-hour days. He created an ordered world and declared His creation good |
| describe the Fall | when Adam and Eve chose to disobey God, in doing so they brought a curse on humanity and creation, including disease, decay, death, and difficulty in caring for the earth. |
| describe Redemption | God did not abandon His creation. Jesus came to redeem humanity from their sin and restore the world to the good and perfect way that God created it. |
| List the six attributes of life | cells, reproduction, metabolism, organization, growth, and response |
| explain the attribute :cells | all living things are made up of at least one cell. They are specialized for each job we have. |
| explain the attribute: reproduction | life comes from preexisting life; passes biological information to new cells or offspring |
| explain the attribute: organization | living things we use energy and information to maintain a high level of order |
| explain the attribute: growth | involves assembling parts and replacing worn-out or damaged cells |
| explain the attribute: response | living things interact with and respond to their environment |
| explain why energy and information are both necessary for life | energy builds and maintains organisms' structures and carry's out life processes. DNA/RNA has information that directs the activities of cells, including what to build and how to function. |
| distinguish a model | a simplified representation of reality |
| distinguish a theory | a model that explains a set of observations |
| distinguish a law | a model that describes a predictable relationship |
| distinguish a hypothesis | a testable proposed explanation or prediction |
| explain how the DNA double-helix model developed from evidence and modeling | Watson and Crick used available evidence, measurements, and physical models to fit the parts of DNA together in the data |
| define conservation | the preservation and wise use of natural resources. |
| explain biblical stewardship | means to responsibly manage and care for God's creation while using its resources wisely |
| define biotechnology | is the use of technology to enhance living organisms and their processes |
| define bioethics | the study if ethical situations in biology and medicine |
| explain the Christian ethic triad | The Christian ethic triad is a framework made up of Biblical Principles, Biblical Outcomes, and Biblical Motivations that guides ethical decision-making |
| Name the three Biblical Principles | God's Image-Bearers, Creation Mandate, and God's Whole Truth |
| name the three Biblical Outcomes | Human Flourishing, a Thriving Creation, and Glorifying God |
| name the three Biblical Motivations | Faith in God, Hope in God's Promises, Love for God and others |
| Explain autonomy | the respect for informed voluntary choice |
| explain nonmaleficence | to avoid or minimize harm |
| explain beneficence | the quality or state of doing or producing good |
| explain justice | fairness and equitable distribution of resources |
| what is the difference between environmentalism and conservation? | environmentalism disregards human needs to protect resources and conservation is using resources wisely with thought given for future human needs |
| are the aims of the environmentalist and conservationist worldviews mutually exclusive (can they exist at the same time)? | no |
| what should biology be used for? | to fulfill the Creation Mandate, understand the world around us, and to help the earth itself. Also, to make advancements for health and medicine |
| God's narrative clearly demonstrates that human life has value above all other life because? | we are made in His Image |
| science is a tool that can be used to exercise ________ and __________ | dominion; serve others |
| (True/False) science is not the ultimate source of truth | true |
| How does worldview affect the way that people study biology? | it informs the types of questions that are asked and colors how people interpret data. Perhaps most significantly, worldview influences how people use the work of biology to help others. |
| what should biology be used for? | to help us understand how God's world works so that we can exercise wise dominion over the creation. What we learn from biology can also be used to love and serve others |
| can you think of some examples where people in both groups might have a common goal? | protecting biodiversity(species and ecosystems), preserving natural resources, addressing climate change, and promoting sustainable living (reducing waste, conserving water, and using eco-friendly products) |
| Scripture is what gives us our ________ | worldview |
| what makes something alive? | it possesses the six attributes of life |
| biology is the study of ______ and how we can apply it to fulfill the ___________ | ethics; Creation Mandate |
| evolution | change over time |
| the information we have in our body | DNA + RNA |
| Just one gram of DNA can store _________ gigabytes of information | 455 billion |
| the human body has about _______ gigabytes of information | 2,500,000 |
| __________ makes things function | information |
| what is a scientific model? | a simplified representation of reality that describes or explains something in a workable and useful way |
| why are models useful? | models help scientists analyze observations, explain ideas and patterns, make predictions, and study complex systems |
| why can scientific models change? | models are representations of reality, not reality itself. New evidence can show that a model is incomplete, so scientists can revise it. |
| list the four principles of secular bioethics | respect for autonomy, nonmaleficence, beneficence, and justice |
| Choose a biology-related ethical issue. What does Scripture teach about the issue? | Abortion- Scripture teaches that all humans are made in God's Image and we are His greatest creation and He formed each of us in our mothers' wombs with an individual purpose. Abortion disregards what Scripture says and what God's purposes for life are. |
| What should motivate a Christian's decision? | Faith in God, Hope in God's Promises, love for God and others |
| What outcomes would honor God and promote human flourishing and a thriving creation? | The earth being taken care of properly with thought for future human needs. Life being taken care of and seen the way God sees it. By doing these things to glorify God, we can promote human flourishing and a thriving creation. |
| Where did life first come from? | Life came from God. Genesis 1 teaches that God created the earth and all living things intentionally and declared His creation good. |
| How is life designed to function? | living things have an organized design with cells, reproduction, metabolism, organization, growth and response. There parts and processes work together to keep the organism functioning. |
| How does God provide energy for life? | Through His creation. Plants use sunlight to make chemical energy; animals obtain chemical energy from food; organisms use that energy for life processes |
| What is the balance between preserving the earth's resources and using them to help people? | The Biblical approach is wise stewardship; care for God's creation while using resources wisely to meet people's needs and considering future generations |
| How can I make ethical decisions in the use of biology? | Use Scripture as the foundation, consider God honoring outcomes, and make decisions from faith in God, hope in His promises, and love God and others. |
| what is an example of biology working together with another field? | Prosthetics combines biology with medicine, engineering, machining and physical therapy. Cochlear implants combine biology with neuroscience, programming, and medicine. |
| how can interdisciplinary work help people? | different fields contribute different knowledge and skills, allowing people to solve complex problems and improve quality of life |
| which principle is most closely connected to informed consent? Explain. | respect for autonomy. patients should receive truthful information so they can make informed voluntary healthcare decisions. |
| Why might these four principles (nonmaleficence, respect for autonomy, beneficence, and justice) sometimes conflict with one another? | a decision that benefits one person may use limited resources, involve risks, pr affect others. Ethical decisions sometimes require balancing autonomy, avoiding harm, providing benefit, and fairness. |
| list the Scientific inquiry steps | 1. ask a question 2. do research 3. experiment 4. analyze the data 5. publish the results |
