GRADED A+
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
,Theory - (correct answer) A hypothesis that has been
tested with a significant amount of data, backed by strong
evidence
Law - (correct answer) A descriptive statement or
equation that reliably predicts events under certain
conditions
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
