Question
Answer
Properties of Life   Are composed of cells, are complex and ordered, respond to their environment, can grow and reproduce, obtain and use energy, maintain internal balance, allow for evolutionary adaption  
🗑
Levels of Organization   Cellular level, organismal level, populational level Each organization builds on the level below it and they often demonstrate new features  
🗑
Cellular Organization   At Bottom- Atoms-Molecules-Organelles-Cells  
🗑
Cell   Basic Unit of Life  
🗑
Organismal Level   At Bottom- Tissues-Organs-Organ Systems-Organism  
🗑
Populational Level   From Bottom- Population-species-community-ecosystem  
🗑
Emergent Properties   New properties present at one level that are not seen in the previous level  
🗑
Science aims to understand the natural world through:   Observation and Reasoning  
🗑
Science begins with   Observations  
🗑
Much of science is   Purely Descriptive  
🗑
Science uses both ___ and ___ reasoning   Deductive and Inductive  
🗑
Deductive Reasoning (define)   uses general principles to make specific predictions  
🗑
Inductive Reasoning   uses specific observations to develop general conclusions  
🗑
"I have only seen white swans, therefore all swans are white" -deductive or inductive?   Inductive  
🗑
Scientific Method a.k.a. systematic approach includes these five things:   1. Observation 2. Hypothesis Formation 3. Prediction 4. Experimentation 5. Conclusion  
🗑
Hypothesis   is a possible explanation for an observation Other: 1. Must be tested to determine validity 2. is often testing in different ways 3. allows for predictions to be made 4. There must be an alternative allowing for rejection  
🗑
While scientist use a similar method there are multtiple approaches and different methods apply for different types of studies. These can be, but are not limited to:   1. Rigorous hypothesis testing "scientific method" 2. descriptive studies 3. Reductionist approach 4. Synthetic Approach (models)  
🗑
Scientific method involves many repeated cycles so that it can   Disprove, not prove  
🗑
Theory:   If a hypothesis is still supported after years of experimentation from many sources it will become one.  
🗑
Univying Themes in Biology, Examples:   Evolution, Cell theory, Emergent Properties  
🗑
Cell Theory (define)   All living organisms are made of cells, and all living cells come from pre-existing cells  
🗑
Emergent Properties   New properties that are present at one level of organization that are not seen in the previous level  
🗑
Cells: Information Processing Systems:   Cells process information stored in DNA as well as info received from the environment  
🗑
Molecular basis of inheritance   DNA encodes genes which control living organisms and are passed from one generation to the next  
🗑
The proper ____ of a molecule is dependent on it's structure   Fuction  
🗑
The ______ of a molecule can often tell us about its function   Structure  
🗑
There are # naturally occurring elements.   90  
🗑
only __ # elements are found in living organisms in substantial amounts   12  
🗑
4 elements make up 96.3 percent of human body weights. These are:   1. Carbon 2. Hydrogen 3. Oxygen 4. Nitrogen  
🗑
Atoms are composed of :   Protons, Neutrons, Electrons  
🗑
Protons   Positively charged particles (+1)  
🗑
Neutrons   neutral particles (0)  
🗑
Electrons   negatively charged particles(-1)  
🗑
Protons and neutrons are located in the:   nucleus  
🗑
Electrons are found in the:   orbitals surrounding the nucleus  
🗑
Every different atom has a characteristic number of   protons in the nucleus  
🗑
Atomic number:   number of protons  
🗑
Each proton and neutron has a mass of   1 Dalton  
🗑
Atomic mass   The sum of protons and neutrons  
🗑
Isotopes   Atoms of the same element that have different atomic mass numbers due to different numbers of neutrons  
🗑
Think of isotopes as   versions  
🗑
Neutral Atoms   have the same number of protons and electrons  
🗑
Ions   Charged atoms (also called elctrolytes)  
🗑
Cations   have more protons than electrons and are positively charged  
🗑
Anions   Have more electrons than protons and are negatively charged  
🗑
Electrons posses _____ energy (type)   Potential  
🗑
The electrons (close?/Far?) fromt he nuclus have the most energy   far  
🗑
Lowest Energy Level Shell   K  
🗑
About K energy level:   1. Nearest the nucleus 2. Contains single "s" orbital (1s) 3. Contains 1 or 2 electrons (max 2)  
🗑
Neon:   noble gas, contains 2+8 (=10) electrons, very stable, completely filled k and l shells  
🗑
Electrons can be transferred from one atom to another, while still   retaining the energy of their position in the atom  
🗑
Oxidation   losing an electron  
🗑
Reduction   gaining an electron  
🗑
Valence Electrons   In the outermost energy level of an atom  
🗑
The chemical properties of a specific element depend on   interactions between valence electrons of other atoms  
🗑
Atoms with full energy levels are ___ (more/less) reactive than atoms with unfilled energy levels   less  
🗑
Atoms tend to establish completely full   outer energy levels  
🗑
Molecules   Groups of atoms help dogether in a stable association  
🗑
Compounds   molecules containing more than one type of element  
🗑
Chemical bonds   the interactions between atoms that hold them together in molecules or compounds  
🗑
Chemical bonds important in biology (5)   1. ionic bonds 2. covalent bonds 3. hydrogen bonds 4. hydrophobic interactions 5. van der Waal forces  
🗑
The weak attractions between a parially negative atom and a partially positive hydrogen atom produce a   hydrogen bond  
🗑
In terms of strength between covalent and ionic... which one is stronger?   Covalent  
🗑
Water   H20 readily forms hydrogen bonds and because of its structure has many other properties

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.
