What Makes Something Alive?
General name for any living thing.
ORGANISM
An organism must gain and have cells that change over the course of its life to help it achieve this characteristic of life.
GROW & DEVELOP
The process of breaking down food so that it can be used by living things.
METABOLISM
It was important to make an "educated guess" before the experiment so you knew what to test for. What is this scientific method step?
Hypothesis
What three features on a graph are ALWAYS required?
Main Title, x & y-axis titles
The basic unit of structure and function in living things.
CELLS
EX: Ms. Korey flips on the lights and student squint while covering their eyes.
RESPONSE TO STIMULI
What compound is given off, as a result of metabolism?
CO2
Why was it important to run a "control" experiment in this LAB.
In order to compare if the experiment results showed a positive or negative feedback loop to water.
TRUE / FALSE: It is not required to reference your data or graphs in a final reasoning.
FALSE
The source of energy for most plant life.
SUNLIGHT or Photosynthesis
We as organisms need energy to run our bodies properly, what characteristic of life does this relate to?
METABOLISM
Once the yeast has obtained energy, it can complete this characteristic of life __________________. This make our bread rise.
GROW & DEVELOP
What type of graph did you produce using your radish seed data?
Bar Graph
Pie graphs show the _______ of responses in a survey style data collection.
Percentages %
Living this must be able make more of their same species, we call this ________.
REPRODUCTION
Name the characteristic of life:
When genes can be passed to next generation.
HEREDITY
TRUE / FALSE: Yeast is alive when connected to Metabolism and Growth & Development.
TRUE
Independant: Poisons
Dependent: Root Measurements (length)
TRUE FALSE: A bar graph is ideal for comparing different measurements in an experiment.
TRUE
What single element is continuously cycled between all plants and animals on earth?
OXYGEN
FILL IN THE BLANKS: Organisms need to maintain this characteristic of life ________________ in order to keep a stable ________________ environment
Homeostasis and internal
Explain why your no sugar lab results produced LESS gas than your sugar trails.
When yeast was left without sugar as an energy source, it was only able to metabolize a small amount of CO2 vs sugar added more energy.
What did you learn about “Living Things” from this experiment?
RESPONSES NEED TO HAVE ITALICIZED WORDS: This lab showed that in order for living things to maintain homeostasis, they need to respond to stimuli with either a positive or negative feedback loop.
A good example to use a line graph for would be ___.
