Define Biology - Answer✔Study of life
Define Science - Answer✔Derived from "scientists", means knowledge
Define Discovery Science - Answer✔Aka qualitative science, aims to observe, explore, and
discover
Define Hypothesis-based science - Answer✔Aka quantitative science, begins with specific
question or problem, and an answer/solution to test
Define scientific method - Answer✔A method of research with defined steps that include
experiments and careful observations. Hypothesis has to be able to be tested. Hypothesis may
become a theory
What are the steps of the scientific method? - Answer✔Observation, Question, hypothesis that
answers a question, Prediction based on the hypothesis, Do an experiment to test the
prediction, Analyze the results
Define Deductive reasoning - Answer✔Goes from general to specific information
A form of logical thinking that uses a general principle or law to forecast specific results.
All dogs have ears, so golden retrievers must have ears is an example of what science reasoning
- Answer✔Deductive reasoning
Can a new hypothesis be proposed? Why? - Answer✔Yes, if the first hypothesis was not
supported by the experimental data, you can create a new hypothesis to be tested. Hypothesis
must be approved or disapproved

spicy food causes stomach aches - Answer✔Inductive
Define Inductive reasoning - Answer✔A form of logical thinking that uses related observations

intracellular organelles, example is Cyanobacteria
Define Archaea and give example - Answer✔Archaea is a prokaryote, single cell that lacks
intracellular organelles, lives in extreme conditions. They are called extremophils Example is
Pyrodicticum
Define Eukarya and give an example - Answer✔Eukarya is a multi cellular organisms with
membrane bound organelles. Example is Plants,fungi,animals
Give the order of the domains of life based on what came first,second, and third -
