| | | | | | | |
Law - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-A descriptive statement or equation that
| | | | | | | | |
reliably predicts events under certain conditions
| | | | |
Hypothesis - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-A testable prediction, often implied
| | | | | | |
by a theory
| | |
Control - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-In an experiment, the standard that is
| | | | | | | | | |
used for comparison
| |
Experimental group - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-In an experiment, the | | | | | | | |
group that is exposed to the treatment, that is, to one version of the
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
independent variable. |
Independent variable - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-The experimental factor
| | | | | | |
that is manipulated; the variable whose effect is being measured.
| | | | | | | | | |
Plotted on the x axis | | | |
,Dependent variable - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-The outcome factor; the
| | | | | | | |
variable that may change in response to manipulations of the
| | | | | | | | | |
independent variable. Plotted on the y axis | | | | | |
Autotrophs - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Organisms that are able to make
| | | | | | | | |
their own food
| |
Heterotrophs - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-An organism that obtains organic
| | | | | | |
food molecules by eating other organisms or their by-products.
| | | | | | | | |
Diffusion - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Movement of molecules from an area
| | | | | | | |
of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration; requires no
| | | | | | | | | | | |
energy
Osmosis - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Diffusion of water through a
| | | | | | | |
selectively permeable membrane; moves from higher to lower water
| | | | | | | | |
concentration
Active transport - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Energy-requiring process that
| | | | | | |
moves material across a cell membrane against a concentration
| | | | | | | | |
difference
Botany - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-The scientific study of plants
| | | | | | |
, Biology - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-The scientific study of life
| | | | | | |
Chemistry - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-The study of the properties of
| | | | | | | | |
matter and how matter changes
| | | |
Genetics - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-The scientific study of heredity
| | | | | | |
Ecology - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Scientific study of interactions among
| | | | | | | |
organisms and between organisms and their environment
| | | | | |
Evolutionary Biology - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-The study of organisms
| | | | | | | |
and their changes
| |
Molecular Cell Biology - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-The study of the
| | | | | | | | |
molecules and the structures that make up the cell, the reactions that
| | | | | | | | | | | |
occur within the cell, including DNA.
| | | | |
Stomata - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Small openings on the underside of a
| | | | | | | | | |
leaf through which oxygen and carbon dioxide can move
| | | | | | | |
Guard cells - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-The two cells that flank the
| | | | | | | | | |
stomatal pore and regulate the opening and closing of the pore.
