Creation Exploration
The study of life
Biology
The collected body of data from experiments and observations.
Evidence
Organisms that are able to make their own food.
Autotrophs
The process by which green plants and some other organisms use the energy of sunlight and simple chemicals to produce their own food.
Photosynthesis
Process by which a single organism produces genetically identical offspring. The offspring receives all its DNA from one parent.
Asexual Reproduction
The smallest units of an organism considered to be alive.
Cells
A suggested, testable answer to a well-defined scientific question or a possible, testable explanation for observations.
Hypothesis
Organisms that depend on other organisms for food.
Heterotrophs
Homeostasis is HOW organisms maintain their body temp. What are organisms that cannot regulate body temperature internally (depend on their environment) called?
Ectotherms
Process by which two parents produce genetically different offspring. The offspring receives a combination of DNA from two parents.
Sexual Reproduction
Living creatures too small to see with the naked eye.
Microorganisms
An EXPLANATION of some part of the natural world that has been thoroughly tested and is supported by a significant amount of evidence from observations and experiments.
Scientific Theory
Organisms that only eat meat
Carnivores
Homeostasis is HOW organisms maintain their body temp. What are organisms that can internally regulate their body temperature called?
Endotherms
DNA
A microscope that shines light through a specimen using two lenses to magnify an image.
A DESCRIPTION of a natural relationship or principle, often expressed in mathematical terms, and supported by a significant amount of evidence.
Scientific Law
Organisms that only eat plants
Herbivores
Something you use your 5 senses to make
Observation
An abrupt and marked change in the DNA of an organism compared to that of its parents.
Mutation
Most widely used system of measurement in science
Process of collecting information, forming a hypothesis, performing an experiment, analyzing data, and drawing a conclusion.
Scientific Method
Organisms that eat plants and meat
Omnivores
Inference
The process by which physical and biological characteristics are transmitted from the parent(s) to the offspring.
