UA BSC 108 Module 2 Exam Study Guide (2024/2025) – Study Smart
with 100% Correct Answers! Graded A+
Bacteria, Archaea, Eukarya - What are the 3 domains of life?
domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species - What are the 8 classifications of Life?
(from least to most specific)
observation, ask a question, form a hypothesis, make a prediction, experiment, analyze data,
conclusion - What are the steps of the scientific method?
Theory - a broad, comprehensive, and well substantiated explanation acquired through the scientific
method
hypothesis - a proposed explanation for an observation before the experiment
Prediction - an educated guess about what will happen in an experiment
Observation - the studying/ watching of something in an experiment to learn more about it
Variable - a factor or condition of an experiment that is changed or manipulated
independent variable - a factor or condition that is changer or manipulated to produce a specific
outcome
dependent variable - a factor or condition that is affected based on the independent variable
controlled variable - a factor or condition that lacks the specific factor being tested
Order, Regulation, Growth and Development, Energy Processing, Response to environment,
reproduction, evolution - What are the properties of a living organism?
Element - a substance that can not be broken down into other substances by chemical means
, Proton - a subatomic particle with a single unit of positive charge that is found inside the nucleus of
an atom
Electron - A subatomic particulate with a single unit of negative charge that is found outside/moving
around the nucleus
Neutron - a neutrally charged particle found in the nucleus
Isotopes - variants of a particular element that differ in number of neutrons but have the same
amount of protons and electrons
Ion - an atom that has gained or lost on or more electrons and becomes a charged atom
Carbohydrate - a biological molecule consisting of a simple sugar (monosaccharide) or multiple
monosaccharides
Lipids - an organic compound consisting of mainly carbon and hydrogen atoms linked together by
non polar covalent bonds. They are made up of fatty acids/glycerol
Proteins - a biological polymer made up of amino acid monomers
nucleic acids - nucleotides (blueprint for cell) (DNA and RNA)
Covalent Bond - A chemical bond that involves sharing one or more pairs of electrons between atoms
in a molecule
Hydrogen Bond - Attraction between a slightly positive hydrogen atom and a slightly negative atom.
ionic bond - A chemical bond resulting from the attraction between oppositely charged ions.
Macromolecule: Protein (enzymes) - Amino Acids
