Chapter 1
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Living Organisms: | *exhibit order *reproduce *ability to grow/develop *utilize energy (metabolism) *response to stimuli external environment *ability to adapt *maintains homeostasis (the norm) the body temp *maintains living organisms in an acceptable range |
| Cell Theory: | "The Cell" * structural and fundamental unit of life * Robert Hooke (english scientist) [1665] - first described and named cells * 2 types: Prokaryotes & Eukaryotes |
| Cell | basic structure of living organisms, capable of carrying out all of the activities fundamental to life, Robert Hooke (first toe describe and name cells), 2 types of cells |
| Prokaryotes: | bacteria * simply, no true nucleus * bacteria * lack many organelles * smaller * have cell walls * no nucleus membrane |
| Eukaryotes: | * plants, animals, fungi, Protista * membrane bound nucleus well defined * complex organelles * cell wall only in plants |
| Both | have ribosomes (protein makers) |
| Level of cell organization | Cells -> tissue -> organs systems -> individuals (organisms) -> population -> communities -> ecosystems biosphere |
| Taxonomy | Classification of organisms. From most general to specific |
| KPCOFGS | Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genes Species |
| 5 Kingdoms | Monera = Bacteria Protista = single celled eukaryotes Plantae = plants Fungi = mushrooms, slime molds, fungi Animalia = animals |
| Scientific Method is used to: | * Review scientific data * formulate hypothesis * Experiment and observe to collect data * Evaluate results |
| Steps of Scientific Method: | Observation Question Hypothesis Prediction Experiment |
| Test supports hypothesis: | male additional predictions and test them. |
| Test doesn't support hypothesis: | revise hypothesis or create new one. |
| Hypothesis Facts | * they reflect past experience with similar questions * make multiple hypotheses whenever possible * hypothesis should be testable via scientific process * can be eliminated, but not proven with 100% certainty |
| Ho (Hypothesis Null) | no change (Null) |
| Ha (Hypothesis Alternative) | change (alternative) |
| Feed back | * is used to regulate function in many biological systems * prevents waste of energy and biochemical * helps maintain homeostasis |
| the 2 types of cells | Prokaryotes, Eukaryotes |
| Living organisms... | viruses don't grow/reproduce without loss |
