BSC 108 Module 1 Review Sheet 2024 Already Passed. 1. What is Biology? The study of life 2. What is homeostasis? Maintaining a steady state 3. What is cell theory? Theory that cells are the basic units of all living tissues 4. Know the Classification System Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species 5. Define “science” (from CH 1 Lecture) Means “to know” and is both a way of knowing and a body of knowledge 6. What are the 2 forms of science?

What are the 4 kingdoms in Eukarya? Plantae, Fungi, Animalia, Protists 9. What are the properties of life? Order, Homeostasis, grow/develop, use energy, respond to the environment, reproduce, population evolve 10.What are some common themes in biology? The Scope of Life and Emergent Properties, Organisms exchange matter and energy within ecosystems, Cells are an organism’s basic unit, The Continuity of Life is based on the information in DNA, Diversity is the hallmark of life ands the diverse forms of life fit their functions, and Evolution 11. What is the scientific method? Know the components of it. Scientific Method (Hypothesis Based Science) Observation -> question -> hypothesis -> prediction -> experiment -> publish 12. What is a hypothesis? Testable statements made off of an observation 13. What are the components of a good hypothesis? Tentative Guesses, if and then statements 14. Be able to identify the difference between a hypothesis, prediction, observation, and control. A hypothesis is a proposed explanation for a set of observations which then leads to a prediction which is a proposed explanation with more observations or experiments. A prediction is a guess of what might happen based on your hypothesis.
