Homeostasis, Takes in Energy from environment, reacts to environment, has DNA, Reproduces, has a Lifespan.
|
|
How does population change over time?
|
It changes exponentially
|
|
What are the levels of organization in living things smallest to largest component?
|
cell - tissue - organ - organ system - organism - community - biome - biosphere
|
|
How do organisms demonstrate interdependence both internally and externally?
|
Parent - Child relationship
Symbiotic Relationships, Consumption of other animals. |
|
What tools and techniques do scientists use to make observations of this world?
|
Quantitative Observations, Qualitative Observations. They use, measuring devices, microscopes, telescopes, and many other tools
|
|
What is the scientific method and how do scientists use this method to design controlled experiments to explain the natural world?
|
Scientific Method is to:
Gather info Make Inference off info Make Hypothesis off info Create Experiment off hypo Gather/Analyze Data Make new inference off Data Write Conclusion Communicate discoveries |
|
How do scientists ensure experimental results are accurate, valid and meaningful?
|
They use peer review and the Scientific Method
|
|
Define Biology and its importance in the development of science.
|
Biology is the study of life and is important so that we can learn about the world around us.
|
|
Define science and list and explain the principle processes of the scientific investigation.
|
Science is the study of a certain topic using labs and data to back you up.
Scientific Investigation: Gather info Make Inference off info Make Hypothesis off info Create Experiment off hypo Gather/Analyze Data Make new inference off Data Write Conclusion Communicate discoveries |
|
Identify the different types of organisms and explain their interrelationships with one and another.
|
Plants
Fungi Animals ArcheoBacteria EuBacteria Protista They consume each other for food, and rely on one another to survive. |
|
Define Unicelluar, multicelluar, abiotic, biotic, organic, and inorganic
|
Unicelluar - single celled
Multicelluar - multi celled Abiotic - Non living Biotic - Living Organic - from living organism Inorganic - not from living organism |
|
Explain the importance of energy to an organism and the way of getting it.
|
Energy is used to power the organism, without energy, no organisms.
Photosynthesis, Chemosynthesis, Heterotrophic. |
|
Define Metabolism
|
A subset of Homeostasis, which helps you balance your internal environment.
|
|
Different uses of energy by an organism
|
Power organs, create food to make more energy.
|
|
Explain relationship between organism and environment
|
Organism relies on environment to live. Organism without environment is like Humans without communities.
|
|
Difference between Control and Experimental Groups?
|
All same except ONE variable.
|
|
Difference between Hypothesis, fact, and theory
|
Hypothesis - guess based on data
Fact - data that is definitely true Theory - data that is mostly agreed upon |
|
Define variable, control, observation, hypothesis, conclusion
|
variable - one of the factors of experiment.
control - factor that is not changed. Observation - qualitative - details that you see with 5 senses Quantitative - details you see with measurements. |
|
Metric System. enables scientists around the world to communicate measurements.
