Scientific Method
A testable prediction or possible explanation for what you as the scientist think will happen in an experiment once scientific research has been done.
What is a Hypothesis?
This characteristic of life is the internal maintenance of (an organism) a plant by preventing water loss on a very hot day when a plant's somata (pores) on its leaves close to conserve water.
What is homeostasis?
This is known as another title for the classification of living things. Ex. Domain, Kingdoms, Phyllum, etc.
What is taxonomy?
This pathogen uses enzymes to take over the reproductive machinery of other cells to make replicas/copies of itself.
What is a Virus?
This living organism is found at the bottom of the ocean or in a volcano.
What are Archaebacteria?
The one factor changed by the scientist in an experiment.
What is the Independent Variable (IV)?
This term refers to plants, animals, fungi, and bacteria and are examples of these living things.
What is biotic?
This taxonomic level is the most general and largest.
What is the Kingdoms? Domain is acceptable as well.
This pathogen has no nucleus nor membrane bound organelles. It does have a cell wall as well as a capsule surrounding it. It is much larger than a Virus.
What is Bacteria?
This prokaryote is unicellular and may cause diseases in humans.
What are Eubacteria?
The experimental group that remains unchanged within the experiment for comparison to the rest of the experiment.
What is the Control Group/the Constant.
Water, rocks, dirt, viruses, wind, and sunshine are examples of these non-living things.
What is Abiotic?
What is the most specific taxonomic level?
What is the Species?
This concept is most effective in preventing the spread of diseases in a hospital setting including washing hands with hot water and soap and sterilizing surgical intstruments. Nightingale hospitals during the Civil War's procedures were helpful against infections.
What are the principles of the Germ Theory?
A scientist discovers a new organism in the desert and they observe it is multicellular and is an autotroph with chloroplasts for photosynthesis and has a cell wall. This specific kingdom is where it was placed.
What are Plantae?
An observation that describes the data found in an experiment using words rather than numbers.
What the the Qualitative Observation?
Reproduction, growth and development, response to stimuli, use energy, and are made of cells are refers to these.
What are the Characteristics of Life?
This two name of classification is all in italics and has the first initial of the first name capitalized and the second name is all lower case letters. It always includes the Genus followed by the Species.
What is Binomial Nomenclature?
This works alongside Antibiotics, Antivirals, and Vaccinations in order to combat against different pathogens in the human body.
What is the Immune System?
This refers to the Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya.
What are 3 Domains?
The scientist makes an educated guess having collected data from a large number of data points rather than only a few data points. This educated assessment is to support their hypothesis in an experiment is known as this.
What is an inference?
Internally within your body, the kidney's function in regulating water and salt balance in the human body is referring to this type of regulation system.
What is Homeostasis?
This is the type of evidence is the most reliable and provides the most direct link between 2 organisms. Often referred to genetic material.
What is the genetic material (DNA) found in different species?
Antibiotics won't cure this type of infection because antibiotics target bacteria. Using antibiotics unnecessarily can also contribute to antibiotic resistance.
What is a Viral Infection?
The Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia are all examples of this.
What are the Kingdoms of Classification?
