QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS | 2026 UPDATES |
100% CORRECT
biology - ANSWER- the scientific study of life
life - ANSWER- it is a set of characteristics that all living things consist of
what are the characteristics for life - ANSWER- ordered from small sub-units to bigger
units
require energy
made up of carbs, proteins, lipids
responds to stimulas
regulate thermal environment
can change over time (adaptations)
science - ANSWER- is a way of knowing
-limited to observations/measurements (data)
-natural
-new facts take precedence
-influences society (positive and negative)
hypothesis - ANSWER- testable/falsifiable and cannot be proven only supported
theories - ANSWER- broad ideas, supported by a lot of evidence (not the same as a
hypothesis)
dependent variables - ANSWER- the variable you are measuring
independent variables - ANSWER- what happens because of your change
controls - ANSWER- what is not exposed
replication - ANSWER- the amount of each variable you are testing
, sample size - ANSWER- number of subjects in both experimental and control groups -
larger sample size usually means more reliable results (only the number in ONE group)
peer review - ANSWER- other scientist review journal
pseudoscience - ANSWER- collection of practices mistakenly regarded as being based on
scientific method
cell theory - ANSWER- theory which describes the properties of cells. these cells are the
basic unit of structure in all organisms and also the basic unit of reproduction
prokaryotic cells - ANSWER- bacteria and archaea
what properties do prokaryotic cells posses - ANSWER- no nucleus
DNA in cytoplasm
smaller
cytoplasm contains structures called organelles
eukaryotic cells - ANSWER- in all other organisms
what properties do eukaryotic cells posses - ANSWER- nucleus
DNA in nucleus
larger
internal structures not in organelles
photosynthesis - ANSWER- chloroplasts perform photosynthesis
what provides energy for photosynthesis - ANSWER- the sun
what is used in photosynthesis and what does it create - ANSWER- sunlight + water +
carbon dioxide ---create---- oxygen + sugar
cellular respiration - ANSWER- function of ATP
where does cellular respiration occur - ANSWER- in mitochondria
is cellular respiration aerobic or biotic? - ANSWER- aerobic process (inhalation &
exhalation)
equation for cellular respiration - ANSWER- oxygen + sugar = carbon dioxide + water + ATP
(energy)
