PLTW: Biomedical Science Unit 1 UPDATED
ACTUAL Exam Questions and CORRECT
Answers
Dissection - CORRECT ANSWER - The action of dissecting a body or plant to study its
internal parts
Myocardial Infarction - CORRECT ANSWER - heart attack
Atherosclerosis - CORRECT ANSWER - Fat Hardening Condition
arch fingerprint - CORRECT ANSWER -
whorl fingerprint - CORRECT ANSWER -
loop fingerprint - CORRECT ANSWER -
Independent variable - CORRECT ANSWER - variable that is varied or manipulated by
the researcher
Dependent variable - CORRECT ANSWER - measurable effect, outcome, or response in
which the research is interested
Biomedical Science - CORRECT ANSWER - The application of the principles of the
natural sciences, especially biology and physiology, to clinical medicine.
Control Group - CORRECT ANSWER - The group in an experiment where the
independent variable being tested is not applied so that it may serve as a standard for the
comparison against the experimental group where the independent variable is applied.
, Experiment - CORRECT ANSWER - A research study conducted to determine the effect
that one variable has upon another variable.
Forensic Science - CORRECT ANSWER - The application of scientific knowledge to
questions of civil and criminal law.
Hypothesis - CORRECT ANSWER - Clear prediction of the anticipated results of an
experiment.
Negative Control - CORRECT ANSWER - Control group where conditions produce a
negative outcome. Negative control groups help identify outside influences which may be
present that were not accounted for when the procedure was created.
Personal Protective Equipment - CORRECT ANSWER - Specialized clothing or
equipment, worn by an employee for protection against infectious materials(as defined by
OSHA).
Positive Control - CORRECT ANSWER - Group expected to have a positve result,
allowing the researcher to show that the experiment set up was capable of producing results.
Algor Mortis (T) - CORRECT ANSWER - cooling of the body to the surrounding
temperature after death
Rigor Mortis (S) - CORRECT ANSWER - stiffness of the body that sets in several hours
after death
Lividity - CORRECT ANSWER - helps determine the position of the body at time of
death
