, Theory. ( CORRECT ANSWER ) -A hypothesis that has been tested with a significant
amount of data, backed by strong evidence
Law. ( CORRECT ANSWER ) -A descriptive statement or equation that reliably predicts
events under certain conditions
Hypothesis. ( CORRECT ANSWER ) -A testable prediction, often implied by a theory
Control. ( CORRECT ANSWER ) -In an experiment, the standard that is used for
comparison
Experimental group. ( CORRECT ANSWER ) -In an experiment, the group that is exposed
to the treatment, that is, to one version of the independent variable.
Independent variable. ( CORRECT ANSWER ) -The experimental factor that is
manipulated; the variable whose effect is being measured. Plotted on the x axis
Dependent variable. ( CORRECT ANSWER ) -The outcome factor; the variable that may
change in response to manipulations of the independent variable. Plotted on the y axis
Autotrophs. ( CORRECT ANSWER ) -Organisms that are able to make their own food
Heterotrophs. ( CORRECT ANSWER ) -An organism that obtains organic food molecules
by eating other organisms or their by-products.
Diffusion. ( CORRECT ANSWER ) -Movement of molecules from an area of higher
concentration to an area of lower concentration; requires no energy
Osmosis. ( CORRECT ANSWER ) -Diffusion of water through a selectively permeable
membrane; moves from higher to lower water concentration
Active transport. ( CORRECT ANSWER ) -Energy-requiring process that moves material
across a cell membrane against a concentration difference
Botany. ( CORRECT ANSWER ) -The scientific study of plants
Biology. ( CORRECT ANSWER ) -The scientific study of life
Chemistry. ( CORRECT ANSWER ) -The study of the properties of matter and how matter
changes
Genetics. ( CORRECT ANSWER ) -The scientific study of heredity
Ecology. ( CORRECT ANSWER ) -Scientific study of interactions among organisms and
between organisms and their environment
Evolutionary Biology. ( CORRECT ANSWER ) -The study of organisms and their changes
Molecular Cell Biology. ( CORRECT ANSWER ) -The study of the molecules and the
structures that make up the cell, the reactions that occur within the cell, including DNA.
