biology - correct answers the study of life inductive reasoning - correct answers formations of a general principle using specific observations control group - correct answers nothing done to them experimental group - correct answers only 1 variable is changed per group independent variable - correct answers factor being tested dependent variable - correct answers result that occurs because of experiments/independent variable hypothesis - correct answers possible explanation about an observation that guides scientific research; what might be the answer to a question Ex. IF you feed a pig potato chips, THEN it will gain weight scientific method - correct answers 1. Observe 2. Ask testable questions 3. Form hypothesis 4. Design experiment (list materials and procedure) 5. Collect and record data 6. Analyze data and results 7. Discuss Results 8. Form conclusions 9. Ask more questions biodiversity - correct answers 1. total number of species 2. the variability in their genes 3. the ecosystems in which they live biosphere - correct answers the zone of air, land, and water at the surface of the Earth where living organisms are found ecosystem - correct answers interactions of communities plus the physical habitat community - correct answers populations of different species that interact population - correct answers groups of individuals of a species in a given area ecosystems - correct answers characterized by chemical cycling and energy flow 7 characteristics of life - correct answers -organized -acquire materials and energy -reproduce -grow and develop -homeostatic -respond to stimuli -capacity to adapt systematics and taxonomy - correct answers disciplines of identifying and classifying organisms taxons - correct answers where organisms are classified domain - correct answers most general grouping of related kingdoms kingdom - correct answers related phyla (plural form of phylum) phylum - correct answers related classes class - correct answers related orders order - correct answers related families family - correct answers related genera (plural form of genus) genus - correct answers related species species - correct answers most specific grouping domain archaea - correct answers single celled organisms that lack a membrane-bound nucleus can live in extreme enviroments domain bacteria - correct answers bacteria are single celled organisms that lack a membrane bound nucleus found almost everywhere on Earth domain eukarya - correct answers cells that are membrane bound and these members are classified into kingdoms binomial nomenclature - correct answers genus name, species name climate change - correct answers changes in the normal cycle of Earth's climate that may be attributed to human activity global warming - correct answers increased CO2 and other gases in the atmosphere causing a rise in temperature metabolism - correct answers chemical reactions in a cell CHNOPS - correct answers elements that make up 95% of living organisms atom - correct answers the smallest part of an element that displays the properties of the element made up of subatomic particles protons - correct answers positively charged subatomic particles; found in the nucleus neutrons - correct answers neutral charged subatomic particles; found in the nucleus electrons - correct answers negatively charged subatomic particles; found in electron orbitals matter - correct answers anything that takes up space and has mass elements - correct answers substances that cannot be broken down to simpler substances with different properties atomic mass - correct answers number or protons+neutrons atomic number - correct answers the number of protons in the nucleus isotope - correct answers atoms of the same element with a differing number of neutrons same atomic number, different mass number radioactive isotopes - correct answers energy released in the form of subatomic particles first orbital shell - correct answers can contain 2 electrons outermost shell - correct answers can contain 8 electrons molecules - correct answers when two or more atoms bond together Ex. 02 compounds - correct answers when two or more different elements bond together H20 ions - correct answers charged particles that form when electrons are transferred from one atom to another ionic bond - correct answers held together by an attraction between oppositely charged ions covalent bonds - correct answers sharing of electrons to have a complete outer shell non polar covalent - correct answers sharing between two atoms that is fairly equal polar covalent - correct answers sharing between two atoms that is unequal
