emergent properties
result from the arrangement and interaction of parts within a system
Reductionism
The approach of reducing complex systems to simpler components that are more
manageable to study.
The _____________ is consider the smallest unit of organization that can perform
all activities required for life.
Cell
control group
In an experiment, the group that is not exposed to the treatment; contrasts with the
experimental group and serves as a comparison for evaluating the effect of the
treatment.
independent variable
The experimental factor that is manipulated; the variable whose effect is being
studied.
depedent variable
the variable that is observed during an experiment
Qualitative
Data in the form of words
,Quantitative
Data that is in numbers
What was NOT a gas used in Miller and Urey's classic experiment to test the
Oparin-Haldane Hypothesis?
Oxygen
What gases were used in Miller and Urey's classic experiment to test the Oparin-
Haldane Hypothesis?
- Methane

Four elements make up ninety-six percent (96%) of living material. Which element
is NOT one of those elements?
Iron
Four elements make up ninety-six percent (96%) of living material. Which
elements are they?

atomic number is equal to
number of protons(+) and electrons(-)
atomic mass is equal to
protons + neutrons
True or False: Electrons have no weight and have a negative charge
True
valence electrons
The electrons in the outermost shell (main energy level) of an atom; these are the
electrons involved in forming bonds.
true or false: In an electron orbital, the first shell can only have two electrons
True
true or false: if a shell has 8 electrons it is full
True
, Isotopes
Atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons
A covalent chemical bond is one in which
outer-shell electrons of two atoms are shared so as to satisfactorily fill the outer
electron shells of both atoms
An ionic bond is formed when _____.
one or more electrons are transferred from one atom to another
hydrogen bond
weak attraction between a hydrogen atom and another atom
A(n) _____________ has charge but negligible mass, whereas a(n) ___________
has mass but no charge.
electron; neutron
How many electron pairs are shared between carbon atoms in a molecule that has
the formula C2H6?
One
