BIO 100 Chapter 1 Exam
What is Science? - An effort to understand how the natural world works using observable
data and controlled experimentation as the basis for that understanding.
Applications of biology - Using data to design evaluate or advise... people observe the
world around them
Example: shark proof suit
How is science studied? - scientific method
What is the process of the scientific method? - 1) Observation
2) Question
3) Hypothesis
4) Test
5) Results (Data)
6) Explain (Conclusion)
What is Biases in Science? - Incomplete information
example... emotional response/fear, authority, politics, media, bad science
Is Biology a branch of science? - True
What is Revolution? - Earth spinning AROUND the sun

, Bio 100
What is Rotation? - Earth spinning on its AXIS
Rising Air = ? - Low pressure, Warmer weather (absorbs air)
Decreasing Air = ? - High pressure, colder weather (squeezes air)
What is the rain shadow effect? - a patch of land that has been forced to become a desert
because mountain ranges blocked all plant-growing, rainy weather.
What is a Biome? - areas with similar climates and ecological communities
What are the layers of the Ocean? - Photic Zone, Benthic Zone, Aphonic Zone
What is ecology? - The study of interactions between organisms and their environment-
living and nonliving
What is a Producer? - an organism that brings energy into the ecosystem...uses sunlight to
make food
What is a consumer? - An organism that eats other organisms for energy
What is Community Ecology - studies how groups of species interact and form functional
communities
What is a population? - a group of individuals of the same species living in the same
place at the same time
