The Nature of Science
Parts of an Experiment
What are independent variables, dependent variables, and constants?
Covalent Bond
What is a bond where electrons are shared between two atoms?
Niches
What are an organism’s role in their environment. It includes how an organism lives and interacts given their resources.
Types of Nucleic Acids
What are DNA and RNA?
Biomagnification
What is it when pollutants increase in concentration as you move up the food web?
Qualitative Data
What is data representing information and concepts that are not represented by numbers?
Parts of an Atom
What are protons, neutrons, and electrons?
Examples of Density Dependent limiting factors
What are competition, predation, parasitism, and disease?
Elements in a Protein
What are Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Nitrogen? (CHON)
J shaped curve
Under ideal conditions with unlimited resources
Larger a population grows, the faster it is
What is an Exponential Growth Curve?
Quantitative Data
What is data represented numerically, including anything that can be counted, measured, or given a numerical value?
Special atoms that are the same elements as their counterparts, they just have a different number of neutrons.
What are Isotopes?
Pyramid of Biomass
What shows relative biomass availability at each trophic level?
The function of Lipids
What are insulation and long term energy storage?
Starts on bare rock, takes many years
What is Primary Succession?
At this step, you will make a testable prediction as an “if-then” statement”
What is a Hypothesis?
Ionic Bond
What is a bond where electrons are transferred?
Levels of Organization
What are individual, population, community, ecosystem, biome, and biosphere?
List the biomolecules
What are Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, and Nucleic Acids
What is members of the subject population leaving without dying called?
The intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment.
What is Science?
What are proteins that speed up (catalyze) reactions by lowering the needed activation energy?
Commensalism
What is a relationship where one organism benefits and the other is neither harmed nor helped?
Monosaccharides
What are the monomers of a carbohydrate?
Geographical Distribution
What is the number of individuals per unit area and how they are spread out?
