Biomedical Sciences PLTW EOC Exam
Questions and Answers 100% Pass
Biomedical Sciences - ✔✔The application of the principles of the natural sciences,
especially biology and physiology, to clinical medicine.
Processing a Crime Scene - ✔✔5 parts include photography, sketch, interview, collect
evidence, and examine/analyze evidence.
Forensic Entemology - ✔✔The use of insects and bugs to determine when a person died
Livor Mortis - ✔✔The dsicoloration of the skin due to the pooling of blood in the
dependent parts of the body following death.
Rigor Mortis - ✔✔The body becomes rigid after death due muscles tensing up from the
lack of ATP, which typically causes them to relax
Algor Mortis - ✔✔The temperature lost in a dead body
What is Glaister Equation used for? - ✔✔The equation used to determine time of death.

, Control Group - ✔✔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 - ✔✔The measurable effect, outcome, or response in which the
research is interested
Experiment - ✔✔A research study conducted to determine the effect that one variable
has upon another variable
Forensic Science - ✔✔The application of scientific knowledge to questions of civil and
criminal law
Hypothesis - ✔✔Clear prediction of the anticipated results of an experiment
Independent Variable - ✔✔The variable that is varied or manipulated by the researcher
Negative Control - ✔✔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 (PPE) - ✔✔Specialized clothing or equipment, worn by
an employee for protection against infectious materials (as defined by OSHA)
Positive Control - ✔✔Group expected to have a positive result, allowing the researcher
to show that the experimental setup was capable of being produced
