ACTUAL Exam Questions and CORRECT
Answers
Biology - CORRECT ANSWER - The study of life
Characteristics of Living things - CORRECT ANSWER - 1 Assimilate energy. 2 Respond
to their environment. 3 Maintain a relatively constant internal environment. 4 Reproduce. 5
Possess an inherited information base, encoded in DNA, that allows them to function. 6 Are
composed of one or more cells. 7 Living things are adapted - have capacity to evolve. 8 Are
highly organized compared to inanimate objects.
The Scientific Method Step 1 - CORRECT ANSWER - Observation
The Scientific Method Step 2 - CORRECT ANSWER - Question
The Scientific Method Step 3 - CORRECT ANSWER - Hypothesis
The Scientific Method Step 4 - CORRECT ANSWER - Experiment
The Scientific Method Step 5 - CORRECT ANSWER - Conclusion
theory - CORRECT ANSWER - is a general set of principles, supported by evidence, that
explains some aspect of nature.
Hypothesis - CORRECT ANSWER - Proposed explanation for one or more observations.
Testable and potentially falsifiable
, Experiments - CORRECT ANSWER - Contrived situations that are the most powerful
way to test hypotheses.
Positive Control - CORRECT ANSWER - results that did come out the way you expected.
experiment whose result is already known to be positive, it is used to check that nothing went
wrong during the procedure.
Negative Control - CORRECT ANSWER - The part of an experiment that you don't
expect to change, ensuring there is no error in the procedure and/or contamination in the
experiment.
Controlled experiment - CORRECT ANSWER - tests the effect of a single variable
Control - CORRECT ANSWER - a subject who is not exposed to the experimental
treatment
Element - CORRECT ANSWER - A pure substance made of only one kind of atom. any
substance that cannot be reduced to any simpler set of constituent substances through chemical
means. This term is defined by the number of protons in its nucleus.
Atom - CORRECT ANSWER - The fundamental unit of matter. The three most important
constituent parts of this term are protons, neutrons, and electrons
Proton - CORRECT ANSWER - A subatomic particle that has a positive charge and that is
found in the nucleus of an atom. Has a mass of 1.0073 amu
Neutron - CORRECT ANSWER - A subatomic particle that has no charge and that is
found in the nucleus of an atom. Has a mass of 1.0087 amu
Electron - CORRECT ANSWER - A subatomic particle that moves around the nucleus
and has a negative charge. Has a mass of 0.0005 amu
