intro to biology
what is one goal in science?
science cannot provide answer for all questions
What does the dependent Variable represent?
the affect by other factors, what I'm measuring
what are some characteristics of life?
-Responds to the environment
-grows and develops
made of cells
what is a chemical reaction?
the change of one substance into another shown by chemical equation
what is activation energy?
the energy required to start a chemical reaction
what is the order of the scientific method?
1.observation
2.question
3.hypothesis
4.test/planning
5.experiment
6.results
the changing thing by the experiment, what I change
what is cell theory?
The living things are made of cells
what are products?
this is what it creates
what is metabolism?
the sun of all the reactions within an organism
what is science?
the way of gaining knowledge about the natural world.
what is does the constant represent?
the unchanged in the experiment
what is gene theory?
characteristics are transformed from parents to offspring with chromosomes
what is reticence?
the starting of an reaction
What are metabolic reactions?
exothermic reactions which break down large molecules and supply energy
what is the scientific law?
The law of gravity
what does the control group represent?
this is used for comparison
what are some examples of living things?
organisms, symbiosis, competition
what is conservation of matter?
Matter cannot be created or destroyed under normal conditions
what are anabolism reactions?
endothermic reactions which build up large molecules and require energy
what is "models"?
models show what's happening
what would be the dependent variable in this scenario?
the amount of fertilizer is given to the plants, this experiment is testing how different fertilizers levels affect the plant growth.
The dependent variable is the fertilizer amount.
what is evolution?
the change over time
what is a biochemical reactions?
this means chemical reactions that occur within living things that are inside cells
what is a enzyme function?
to speed up reactions in cells, without them most life would die
