🧬 Branches of Biology
This is the study of life.
What is biology?
Any individual living thing is called this.
What is an organism?
Living things need these substances for energy, growth, and maintaining life.
What are nutrients?
This is the first step of the scientific method.
What is state the problem?
The two original kingdoms were Plantae and this kingdom.
What is Animalia?
This branch of biology is the study of animals.
What is zoology?
This is the basic unit of life.
What is a cell?
This life process allows organisms to produce more organisms of their own kind.
What is reproduction?
Conditions that are kept the same throughout an experiment are called these.
What are constants?
This scientist developed the classification system we use to organize living things.
Who is Carolus Linnaeus?
This branch of biology is the study of plants.
What is botany?
An organism made of only one cell is described by this word.
What is unicellular?
This term describes all the chemical processes occurring within a living organism.
What is metabolism?
A condition that can change during an experiment is called this.
What is a variable?
In a scientific name, the first word identifies this classification group.
What is the genus?
This branch studies organisms that are too small to be seen clearly without a microscope.
What is microbiology?
An organism made of many cells is described by this word.
What is multicellular?
This process releases usable energy from nutrients inside cells.
What is cellular respiration?
This group receives the treatment being tested in an experiment.
What is the experimental group?
A scientific name containing a genus and species is an example of this naming system.
What is binomial nomenclature?
(bye-NO-mee-ul no-MEN-kluh-chur)
This branch studies organisms and how they interact with each other and their environment.
What is ecology?
The process by which organisms maintain stable internal conditions is called this.
What is homeostasis?
A plant bending or growing toward light demonstrates that living things can do this.
What is respond to stimuli/their environment?
This group does NOT receive the treatment and is used for comparison.
What is the control group?
Put these seven groups in order from broadest to most specific:
species, class, kingdom, genus, family, phylum, order
What is Kingdom → Phylum → Class → Order → Family → Genus → Species?
