◉ theory.
Answer: a sound explanation of the world supported through
continued observation and experiments over a long period of time
◉ 3 components of a controlled experiment.
Answer: 1. variable
2. test group
3. control group
◉ variable.
Answer: feature of an experiment that is changed from one
treatment to the next
◉ test group.
Answer: exposed to variable in an experiment
◉ control group.
Answer: not exposed to the variable in an experiment
,◉ importance of test group & control group.
Answer: they allow researchers to determine whether the variable
in an experiment has an effect
◉ independent variable.
Answer: manipulation performed on the test group
(ex. hours of tutoring)
◉ which axis is the independent variable found on a graph?.
Answer: x-axis
◉ dependent variable.
Answer: effect that is being measured
(ex. test score)
◉ which axis is the dependent variable found on a graph?.
Answer: y-axis
◉ theory of evolution.
Answer: set of hypotheses that provide a powerful explanation for
both biological observations & the diversity of life
, ◉ why do we learn that the theory of evolution is the single most
important theory in all of biology?.
Answer: there's lots of evidence from asking/testing good scientific
questions
(ex. anatomy, fossil record, biogeography, molecular biology)
◉ 7 ways living organisms are different from non-living organisms.
Answer: 1. organization - complex organization
2. response - ability to change in response to the environment
3. reproduction - ability to reproduce
4. evolution - capacity to evolve
5. metabolism - chemical rxns that sustain life
6. homeostasis - maintenance of stable internal environment
7. growth - regulated growth/cell division
◉ 1st law of thermodynamics.
Answer: energy can neither be created nor destroyed; it can only be
transformed from one form into another
◉ how does the 1st law of thermodynamics apply to living
organisms?.
