Unit 1 Vocabulary Introduction to Biology
questions with correct answers 2024
Adaptation - ANSWERS Inherited characteristic of a species that develops over time
in response to an environmental factor, allowing the species to survive. Examples =
opposable thumbs, thorns, camouflage, etc.
Biology - ANSWERS The study of life
Constant or Controlled variable - ANSWERS factor(s) in an experiment that remains
the same (doesn't change).
Control Group - ANSWERS In an experiment, the group that is not exposed to the
treatment; contrasts with the experimental group and serves as a comparison for
evaluating the effect of the treatment.
Dependent Variable - ANSWERS The measurable effect, outcome, or response in
which the research is interested.
Eukaryote - ANSWERS A cell that contains a nucleus and membrane bound
organelles. (Animals, Plants, Fungi, Protists)
Experiment - ANSWERS A scientific procedure undertaken to make a discovery,
test a hypothesis, or demonstrate a known fact.
Experimental Group - ANSWERS In an experiment, the group that is exposed to the
treatment, that is, to one version of the independent variable.
Homeostasis - ANSWERS A tendency to maintain a balanced or constant internal
state; the regulation of any aspect of body chemistry, such as blood glucose, around
a particular level
Hypothesis - ANSWERS A testable explanation of a situation. Usually, an "if, then"
statement.
Independent Variable - ANSWERS The experimental factor that is manipulated; the
variable whose effect is being studied.
Inference - ANSWERS A logical interpretation based on prior knowledge and
experience.
Inorganic - ANSWERS Not formed from living things or the remains of living things
Kingdom - ANSWERS First and largest category used to classify organisms.
Metabolism - ANSWERS All of the chemical reactions that occur within an organism
