“Review of biology”
BIOLOGY=science of life
ORGANISM= is anything that has or once had all these characteristics
CHARACTERISTICS OF LIVING ORGANISM | DESCRIPTION |
1)Made of once or more cells |
|
2) displays organization |
|
3)grows and develops |
|
4)reproduces |
|
5)responds to stimuli |
|
6)requires energy |
|
7)maintains homeostasis |
|
8)adaptations evolve over time |
|
- SCIENCE= body of knowledge base on the study of nature
- SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY= development of explanations-process of: observation&experimentation
- THEORY=explanation of-natural phenomenon support by many-observations&experiments over time
- PEER REVIEW= process in science-the procedure use during an experiment and the results are evaluated by other scientists that are in the same field or similar research
- METRIC SYSTEM= uses units with divisions that are powers of ten”length/mass/volume/time”
- FORENSICS= field of study that applies science to matters of legal interest/ medias are base on
- SCIENTIFICALLY LITERATE=person who combines a basic understanding of science and its processes with reasoning and thinking skills
- ETHICS= set of moral principles or values
- SCIENTIFIC METHOD= a series of problem-solving procedures that include:
- OBSERVATION= direct method of gathering information in a orderly way
- INFERENCE=combine what you know with what you have learn ”make logical conclusions” by” prior experience”
- HYPOTHESIS= testable explanation of a situation
- SERENDIPITY= the occurrence of accidental or unexpected but fortunate results
- EXPERIMENT= procedure perform in a control setting to test hyphotesis and collect data
- CONTROL GROUP= the group that don’t receive the factor being tasted
- EXPERIMENTAL GROUP= the group that receives the factor being tasted
- INDEPENDENT VARIABLE= one factor that can be change in a controlled experiment; is the factor tested and affects the experiment outcomes
- DEPENDENT VARIABLE= factor being measure in a controlled experiment; its value changes because of changes od independent variable
- CONSTANT= factor that remains fixed during an experiment while the independent and dependent variables changes
- DATA= qualitative and quantitative information gain from scientific investigations
- SCIENTIFIC THEORY= an explanation of observations or events that is base on knowledge gained from many observations and investigations
- SCIENTIFIC LAW= is a rule that describes a repeatable pattern in nature
- SAFETY SYMBOL= logo that represents danger that may be present in a lab/field investigation
- TECHNOLOGY= the practical use of scientific knowledge, for industrial or commercial use
- CRITICAL THINKING= compare what you know with the information you are given in order to decide whether you agree with it
- SCIENCE= the exploration and investigation of natural events and of the new information that results from those investigations
- PHYSICAL SCIENCE= chemical reactions,gravity, and atoms are topics of these field
- LIFE SCIENCE= cells and interactions of living things are topics of these field
