Biology 1408 Exam 1
Deductive Reasoning - Answer-The process of:
- Generating hypotheses about the results of a specific experiment or the nature of a specific
observation., reasoning in which a conclusion is reached by stating a general principle and then applying
that principle to a specific case (The sun rises every morning; therefore, the sun will rise on Tuesday
morning.)
- A type of logic in which specific results are predicted from a general premise
Inductive Reasoning - Answer--A type of logic in which generalizations are based on a large number of
specific observations.,
-Inferring general principles from specific examples
Controlled Experiment - Answer-_A test of the effect of a single variable by changing it while keeping all
other variables the same
-Experiment that tests the effect of a single variable
Three Domains of Life - Answer-1.Bacteria: Bacteria (one- celled)
2.Archaea: (one-celled prokaryotes),
3.Eukarya: (includes protists, fungi, plants, and animals and can be single-celled or multicelled
eukaryotes)
Homeostasis - Answer-Process by which organisms maintain a relatively stable internal environment
Eukaryotes - Answer--Referring to cells of organisms of the domain Eukarya (plants, animals, fungi, and
protists). Eukaryotic cells have genetic material enclosed within a membrane-bound nucleus and contain
other organelles
, -Organisms made up of one or more cells that have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
Prokaryotes - Answer-Single-celled organisms that do not have a membrane-bound nucleus
Scientific Method - Answer-A series of steps followed to solve problems including collecting data,
formulating a hypothesis, testing the hypothesis, and stating conclusions
Natural Selection - Answer--The principle that, among the range of inherited trait variations, those that
lead to increased reproduction and survival will most likely be passed on to succeeding generations,
-Process by which individuals that are better suited to their environment survive and reproduce most
successfully; also called survival of the fittest
Levels of Biological Organization - Answer-Biosphere

Levels of Biological Organization - Answer-1. Atom
