Biomedical Science Unit 1 Exam
Questions with Latest Update
Biomedical Science - ANSWER-the application of the principles of the natural sciences,
especially biology and physiology, to clinical medicine
Control Group - ANSWER-the group in an experiment where the independent variable
being tested is not applied so that it may serve as a standard for comparison against the
experimental group where the independent variable is applied
Dependent Variable - ANSWER-the measurable effect, outcome, or response in which
the research is interested
Experiment - ANSWER-a research study conducted to determine the effect that one
variable has upon another variable
reliable experiment - ANSWER-experiment in which another researcher can perform the
exact same experiment and generate similar results
valid experiment - ANSWER-experiment in which the results accurately describe the
real world
Forensic Science - ANSWER-the application of scientific knowledge to questions of civil
and criminal law
Hypothesis - ANSWER-clear prediction of the anticipated results of an experiment
Independent Variable - ANSWER-the variable that is varied or manipulated by the
researcher
Negative Control - ANSWER--control group where conditions produce a negative
outcome
-negative control groups help identify outside influences which may be present that
were not accounted for when the procedure was created
Personal Protective Equipment - ANSWER-specialized clothing or equipment, worn by
an employee for protection against infectious materials (as defined by OSHA)
Positive Control - ANSWER-group expected to have a positive result, allowing the
researcher to show that the experimental set up was capable of producing results
rigor mortis - ANSWER-the stiffening of the muscles that occurs shortly after death
lividty - ANSWER-the pooling of blood
