SCIENCE OF LIFE
The Greek word bios means "life" and -logy means "study of".
What is Biology?
The basic building blocks of matter.
What are atoms?
Non-living physical/chemical conditions affecting organisms, which include sunlight, water, hurricanes, and floods.
What are abiotic factors?
These two men invented the first microscope.
Who are Hans and Zacharias Janssen?
Cells perform these three types of work for energy.
What are mechanical work, transport work, and chemical work?
A description of a natural relationship or principle; it does not attempt to explain why or how an event occurs.
What is a scientific law?
These six biological elements are the most common in living organisms and make up about 96% of the mass of living things.
What are carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and sulfur.
It is the process by which certain gases trap heat that would escape the Earth and radiate into space.
What is the Greenhouse effect?
The study of cells
What is Cytology?
It is the 1st stage of cellular respiration.
What is Glycolysis?
A now disproven theory that theorized living organisms could form from non-living organisms.
What is spontaneous generation?
Its key properties include being a universal solvent, exhibiting cohesion, surface tension, and having high heat capacity.
What is water?
It continuously moves oxygen through the atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere, driven mainly by photosynthesis and respiration.
What is the oxygen cycle?
Plant, animal, and fungi cells are classified as this type of cell.
What is a eukaryotic cell?
It is the 4th stage of cellular respiration.
What is the Electron Transport Chain?
Using a curved-neck flask experiment, he demonstrated that even microorganisms cannot spontaneously generate.
Who is Louis Pasteur?
This occurs when complex molecules break down by the chemical addition of water.
What is hydrolysis?
It is the relationship between two organisms of different species where one benefits and the other is harmed.
What is parasitism?
They are responsible for protein synthesis
What are ribosomes?
The final net amount (number) of ATP molecules produced in cellular respiration.
What is 38?
Cells; Growth & Development; Metabolism & Energy; Homeostasis; Sense and Respond to Stimuli; DNA & Reproduction.
What are the six criteria for life?
They make up hair, fur, and muscles; store nutrients like in nuts and steaks; circulate in bloodstream; carry messages from one cell to another.
What are the functions of a protein?
It is where photosynthetic organisms live.
What is the phobic zone?
In osmosis, this is a solution that has a high solute concentration (and so a low water concentration) relative to another solution.
What is hypertonic solution?
A cellular process that produces ATP without oxygen; lactic acid and alcohol are examples.
What is fermentation?
