| The highest level of complexity listed below is a(n) | ecosystem
🗑
|
||||
| A group of species and the physical environment in which they live are called a(n) | ecosystem

🗑
|
||||
| Living things can be distinguished from nonliving things because they have | cellular organization
🗑

| 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.
🗑
|
||||
| The gene theory states that all the information that specifies what a cell is and what it does | is contained in a long molecule called DNA.

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.
