Cycle of Scientific Enterprise
tests the hypothesis and provides evidence that either supports or doesn't support the hypothesis
What is an experiment
How well an image of a sample stands out from the background
What is contrast
chemical language represented with four letters
what is DNA
life always comes from life
what is biogenic theory
type of reproduction that results in two genetically identical offspring
predictions are made about what would happen
What is a hypothesis
Measure of how clearly the image of an object appears
What is resolution
what is DNA
life routinely emerging from nonliving matter, but doing so according to natural laws
what is archebiosis
type of reproduction that results in genetically unique offspring
sexual reproduction
models of our best explanation to date based on facts
What is a theory
It's defined as the ratio of an image size to the object's actual size
What is magnification
what is the term for how organisms will adjust responses so that the body remains in an acceptable, life-sustaining range
what is homeostasis
life may have emerged from non-life just once a long time ago, and since then life has come from life
what is abiogenesis
Truth or fact: Cold plunging and sauna exposure are undeniably some of the best things you can do for your health
What is a fact
Evaluation of whether the experimental results are consistent with the initial theory
What is analysis
two types of microscopes that obtain images by shooting beams of electrons through a specimen
SEM and TEM
What type of molecules are these two examples of:
water
DNA
what is a biomolecule
what special tool did Pasteur use for his experiments
Swan-necked flask that allowed air into the flask but kept out dust
standard labels placed before a base unit of measurement to show a multiple or a fraction of that unit
what is a metric prefix
statements based on evidence from many experiments or observations that are correct as far as we know; they can change
What is a fact
Which microscope has the greatest resolution
What is a TEM
Name all six characteristics of life.
Sorry, you picked the prompt worth 500 points, you knew what you were getting into
Composed of cells
Metabolize
Grow, develop, and reproduce
Use and transmit genetic information
Respond
Adapt to their environments
Hint for the brave person that picked this prompt
Know Pasteur's three experiments from the summary slides!!!
Think and apply the metric prefix -milli to this nonsense:
If you have 100 bananas, how many millibananas do you have?
100,000 millibananas
