Golgi Apparatus, Endoplasmic Reticulum, Nuclear Envelope
✔✔Which organelles contain DNA? - ✔✔Nucleus, Mitochondria, Chloroplasts
✔✔Why do these organelles have their own DNA? - ✔✔It is why they function differently
✔✔How do cells move? - ✔✔With a flagella and cilia
✔✔What is the difference between cilia and flagella? - ✔✔Cilia move in a coordinated
back and forth motion
Flagella propel the cell in a whip like motion
✔✔ What is biology? - ✔✔The study of life
✔✔What are the 3 domains? - ✔✔Eukarya, Bacteria, Archae
✔✔What are the 4 kingdoms in eukarya? - ✔✔Kingdom Amimalia, Kingdom Plantae,
Kingdom Fungi, Kingdom Protista
✔✔What are the 7 properties of life? - ✔✔they have order, they regulate themselves,
they grow and develop, they use energy, they respond to the environment, they
reproduce, population evolve
, ✔✔What defines living? - ✔✔It has cells
✔✔What are the common themes of biology? - ✔✔pervade all of biology, will make
sense to you in the future

London 1854
✔✔What is a hypothesis? - ✔✔A tentative explanation for an observation
✔✔What are the components of a good hypothesis? - ✔✔Repeated trials, good track of
data
✔✔What is the difference between a hypothesis and a prediction? - ✔✔A prediction is a
guess what might happen based on observation.
A hypothesis is a possible explanation for a observation or problem that can further be
tested by experimentation. (more general)
✔✔What is observation? - ✔✔The recording of data
✔✔What is control? - ✔✔Constant and unchanging
✔✔What is a theory? - ✔✔A much broader in scope than a hypothesis, can be changed
but unlikely
✔✔What are the limits of science? - ✔✔It is not the only way to understand nature and
cannot address every question posed by man
✔✔What is an atom? - ✔✔It is the smallest unit of an element that has all its properties
✔✔What is a proton, neutron, and electron? - ✔✔A proton is a positive charged atom, a
neutron is a no charged atom, and a electron is a negative charged atom
✔✔What is an atom composed of? - ✔✔protons, neutrons, and electrons
✔✔What is 1 proton and neutron equal to? and electron? - ✔✔1 proton and neutron can
equal to 1 dalton. An electron is negligible
