BIOLOGY 107 EXAM 1 (CHAPTERS 1-
3)
Abstract - Correct Answers -Opening section of scientific paper that summarizes the
research and conclusions
Applied Science - Correct Answers -A form of science that aims to solve real-world
problems
Atom - Correct Answers -smallest and most fundamental unit of matter
Basic Science - Correct Answers -science that seeks to expand knowledge regardless
of the short-term application of that knowledge
Biochemistry - Correct Answers -study of the chemistry of biological organisms
Biology - Correct Answers -The study of life
Conclusion - Correct Answers -section of a scientific paper that summarizes the
importance of the experimental findings
Control - Correct Answers -a part of an experiment that does not change during the
experiment
Discussion - Correct Answers -the scientific report section where results are analysed
and explained
Eukaryote - Correct Answers -organism with cells tat have nuclei and membrane-bound
organelles
Introduction - Correct Answers -opening section of a scientific paper, which provides
background information about what was known in the field prior to the research reported
in the paper
Macromolecule - Correct Answers -large molecule formed by joining smaller organic
molecules together
, Materials and Methods - Correct Answers -section of a scientific paper that includes a
complete description of the substances, methods, and techniques used by the
researchers to gather data
microbiology - Correct Answers -study of the structure and function of microorganisms
molecular biology - Correct Answers -study of biological processes and their regulation
at the molecular level, including interactions among molecules such as DNA, RNA, and
proteins
molecule - Correct Answers -chemical structure consisting of at least two atoms held
together by one or more chemical bonds
natural science - Correct Answers -field of science that is related to the physical world
and its phenomena and processes
organelle - Correct Answers -small structures that exist within cells and carry out cellular
functions
phospholipid - Correct Answers -membranes' major constituent; comprised of two fatty
acids and a phosphate-containing group attached to a glycerol backbone
polymer - Correct Answers -chain of monomer residues that covalent bonds link;
polymerization is the process of polymer formation from monomers by condensation
polypeptide - Correct Answers -;ong chain of amino acids that peptide bonds link
phylogenetic tree - Correct Answers -diagram showing the evolutionary relationships
among various biological species based on similarities and differences in genetic or
physical traits or both; in essence, a hypothesis concerning evolutionary connections
prokaryote - Correct Answers -single-celled organism that lacks organelles and does
not have nuclei surrounded by a nuclear membrane
results - Correct Answers -section of a scientific paper in which the author narrates the
experimental findings and presents relevant figures, pictures, diagrams, graphs, and
tables, without any further interpretation
scientific method - Correct Answers -method of research with defined steps that include
observation, formulation of a hypothesis, testing, and confirming or falsifying the
hypothesis
theory - Correct Answers -tested and confirmed explanation for observations or
phenomena
variable - Correct Answers -part of an experiment that the experimenter can vary or
change
