Levels of Organization
The smallest unit of matter
Atom
A tree will become larger and more robust over time
Growth and Development
Responsible for changing the variable of measurement
Stimulus
Typically labeled on the bottom part of a graph
X Axis
Liters would be best if we are measuring this
Liquid
The smallest living unit
Cell
In the fall, trees will shed their leaves in preparation for colder weather and less sunlight
Response to the Environment
Responsible for communicating with effectors to work/stop working
Control Center
Data that includes characteristics, qualities, or descriptions
Qualitative
If you wanted to know when water boils, you would need this unit of measurement
Degrees Fahrenheit/Celsius
An example is Glucose, Proteins, and Lipids
Macromolecule
Molecular instructions for proteins that complete various tasks in the body
DNA
A type of feedback that will actively work against a stimulus
Negative Feedback Loop
A variable that stands alone and is not impacted by others
Independent Variable
I am curious about the length of the state of Indiana. Which unit of measurement should I use?
Miles/Kilometers
A vital network of organs and vessels that circulate lymph fluid that helps to fight germs is the Lymphatic System
Organ System
The ability to create more of oneself
Reproduction
Parts of our skin detect changes in temperature, pressure, and other ways too
Receptors
A specific measure in scientific research that is purposefully controlled in order to remain the same during multiple trials
Constant
I am interested in measuring the length of Acyrthosiphon Pisum. Which unit of measurement would likely be best? (that is an aphid btw)
Millimeters
Responsible for finding, sending, and conducting electrical currents in the brain
Tissue
We notice in fossil records that ancient humans used to have larger and stronger jaws; thought to be used to eat tougher materials before the discovery of cooking softened food for us to chew more easily
Evolution
Small glands produce incredibly acidic chemicals in the stomach in order to kill harmful bacteria and effectively break down food. However, the stomach lining secretes a thick mucous, and the ability to quickly replace stomach cells in order to protect the stomach from self digestion and balance the environment.
Homeostasis
In an experiment, scientists are measuring how enzymes react under specific conditions. Some enzymes are placed in a high pH solution, some are placed in water (neutral), and some are placed in a low pH solution. Scientists are measuring the reaction rate of the enzymes. Which variable would reaction rate be?
Dependent Variable
Pounds/Kilograms
