Principles of Biomedical Sciences
Lesson 1.1 Investigating the Scene
Exam Q&A
Biomedical Science - ANSWER-The application of the principles of the natural sciences,
especially biology and physiology, to clinical medicine.
Control Group - ANSWER-The group in an experiment where the Independent variable
being tested is not applied so that it may serve as a standard for comparison against the
experimental group where the Independent variable is applied
Dependent Variable - ANSWER-The measurable effect, outcome, or response in which
the research is interested.
Experiment - ANSWER-A research study conducted to determine the effect that one
variable has upon another variable.
Forensic Science - ANSWER-The application of scientific knowledge to questions of
civil and criminal law.
Hypothesis - ANSWER-Clear prediction of the anticipated results of an experiment.
Independent Variable - ANSWER-The variable that is varied or manipulated by the
researcher.
Negative Control - ANSWER-Control group where conditions produce a negative
outcome. Negative control groups help identify outside influences which may be present
that were not accounted for when the procedure was created.
Personal Protective Equipment - ANSWER-Specialize clothing or equiptment, worn by
an employee for protection against infectious materials.
Model - ANSWER-A simplified version of something complex used to analyze and solve
problems or make predictions
Bibliography (Works Cited) - ANSWER-A document showing al the sources used to
research information.
Citation - ANSWER-A written reference to a specific work (book, article, dissertation,
report, musical composition, etc.) by a paticular author or creator which identifies the
document in which the work may be found.
