Controlled Experiments?
They compare an experimental group with a control group.
Who invented evolution?
Charles Darwin
What's the properties of life?
Order, Reproduction, Growth and Development, Energy Processing, Response to Environment, Evolutionary adaption, Regulation
What's the levels of organization?
atoms and molecules-->organelles-->cells-->tissues-->organs and organ systems-->population-->community-->ecosystem-->biosphere
Where does all energy within an ecosystem start
Sunlight
Theory?
broad in scope and supported by a large body of evidence
Do all experiments follow the same steps?
NO
What's DNA?
It's responsible for heredity and programming activities of a cell.
How is energy/matter cycled?
air-->soil-->producers-->consumers-->decomposers-->
Whats the structural and functional unit of life?
Cell
What types of organisms are in the Domains Bacteria and Archaea?
Prokaryotes
How are technology and scientific research connected
Both are inner dependent
The four nucleotides that create DNA and codes?
Guanine, Thymine, Cytosine, Adenine
What's systems biology?
Scientists attempt to model the behavior of biological systems by analyzing the interactions among their pets.
Whats science?
an approach to understanding the natural world
How have humans influenced evolution in organisms?
with selective breeding
What's evolution?
The process of change that transformed life on earth from its earliest form
Gene Expression?
whole process of protein production, genotype to phenotype
What are the two observations and one inference made by Darwin?
Inference-->unequal reproductive success leads to evolution of adaption in populations
Observations-->Heritable variations
-->overproduction of offspring
What's taxonomy?
A branch of biology that names and classifies species.
How is structure and function related?
Stimuli triggers production
What organisms can convert solar energy to chemical energy?
Producers
What's the difference between a dependent and independent variable?
Independent-->factor that's manipulated
Dependent--> depends on independent, used to judge outcome
