INTRODUCTION
What is the definition of Biology?
Study of living things or making questions about how living things interact in the environment.
Basic and fundamental unit of life
The Cell
Groups of similar cells carrying out similar or related functions.
Tissue
Element that must never be overseen when applying an experiment.
Ethics.
The systematic and reasoned process that must be followed for the obtention of truth in science.
Scientific Method
The microscope
Define homeostasis.
Keeping internal conditions stable or in balance.
A group of Atoms forms a
Element
Which “language” is used within the scientific community when sharing numerical results?
Metric System
Which is the basis of the Scientific Method.
Observations
Which two sciences does Biology apply their laws to living things?
Physics and Chemistry
It is the ability of living things to recondition themselves to environmental factors.
Adaptation.
Organisms of the same species living within a specific area
Population
Definition of Science.
Body of knowledge based on the study of nature.
The scientific method is based upon its capacity of what?
Being replicated.
Name a practical and a theoretical area of biology.
Practical: Plant breeding, Wildlife management, Medical science and Crop production.
Theoretical: Physiology, Biochemistry, Taxonomy, Ecology and Microbiology.
What is the definition of both growth and development.
Growth results in an increase in mass.
Development results in different abilities.
Relationship of all living and nonliving things that interact in the environment where they live.
Biosphere
What is the definition of Theory?
Explanation of a natural phenomenon supported by observations and experiments over time.
Give an example of a model for Data Collection.
Controlled Experiments
Experimental Design
Data Gathering
Investigations
Who were the main scientists that began promoting the universal ideas of The Cell Theory.
Schleiden and Schwann
Enlist the 8 Characteristics of living things.
Made of One or More Cells, Displays Organization, Grows and Develops, Reproduces, Respond to Stimuli, Requires Energy, Maintains Homeostasis, Adaptations evolve over time.
Order the following from smallest to biggest:
Atoms // Community // Organs Systems // Ecosystem // Biosphere // Cell
Correct Order: Atoms, Cell, Organs Systems, Community, Ecosystem and Biosphere
Name one of the things that claims are based from.
A large number of data
Observations of unbiased investigations
Carefully controlled experimentations
When reviewed by peers, 3 main aspects are evaluated, these are:
Originality, Competence to the Scientific Method and Accuracy
