        Help!  

Term
Definition
Biology   The study of all living things  
🗑
Cell   The smallest structured functional unit of life in an organism  
🗑
Reproduction   All organisms produce new organisms like themselves and transmit hereditary information to offspring (DNA) can be sexual or asexual  
🗑
Genetic code   The information encoded within the genetic material that can be translated into a protein  
🗑
Metabolism   The sum of all chemical reactions that take in and transform energy from the environment.  
🗑
Grow and develop   Growth- The division and enlargement of cells Development- involves cell differences/ specialization  
🗑
Stumuli   A physical or chemical in the internal or external environment.  
🗑
Homeostasis   The maintenance of stable internal conditions in a constantly changing environment.  
🗑
Evolution   Populations of living organisms may evolve through time individuals may change but genetics don't.  
🗑
Controlled experiment   An experiment in which only one variable is manipulated at a time.  
🗑
Independent variable   the cause/treatment for the experiment  
🗑
Dependent variable   The measurement conclusion or effect  
🗑
Control group   test group that doesn't get treatment  
🗑
Hypothesis   Never a question, an if then statement that has no personal pronouns and is based on research  
🗑
Variables   Something in an experiment that can change  
🗑
Data   The information that you can collect in an experiment  
🗑
Constant   Something that stays the same in an experiment  
🗑
Observation   Qualitative or quantitative information that you record in an experiement  
🗑
Natural selection   Organisms have certain favorable traits that allow them to survive and reproduce more than organisms that lack those traits  
🗑
Prediction   Something that you expect to happen during an experiement  
🗑
Steps of the scientific method   1. Observation 2. Ask a question/identify a problem... 3. Hypothesis- "if.. then..." never a question and based on research- education guess 4. Experiment 5. Communicate information  
🗑
Why is communication important in science   To communicate ideas so that more research can be done.  
🗑
Characteristics of life   1. Cell organization 2. DNA 3. Response to Stimulus 4. Homeostasis 5. Metabolism 6. Growth and Development 7. Reproduction 8. Evolution  
🗑
example of organization   Cells organize into organ systems  
🗑
example of DNA   A mother has blue eyes and her daughter has blue eyes  
🗑
Example of stimuli   A change of light makes the light dilate  
🗑
Example of homeostasis   Shivering when the body gets cold  
🗑
Example of metabolism   Getting energy from food  
🗑
Example of growth   Growing from baby to toddler  
🗑
example of evolution   Blue eyes  
🗑
Order of organization   Biosphere->Ecosystem->Community->Population->Organism->Groups of Cells->Cells->Molecules  
🗑
3 themes of biology   Diversity and Unity of Life Interdependence of Organisms Evolution of Life  
🗑
interdependance   All organisms live and interact with each other and their environment. Life can be studied at a variety of different levels  
🗑
Diversity of life   Life is diverse yet we are are more similar than we are different Genetic information, biological molecules, structure/organization. All humans are from a single common ancestor  
🗑
Evolution of life   Helps us understand how distinct populations and new species come into existence  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
