What is Biology?
The science that seeks to understand the living world.
Biology
This includes populations that live together in a defined area.
A Community
A proposed scientific explanation for a set of observations.
Hypothesis
These produce magnified images of structures that are too small to see with the unaided eye.
Microscope
This reflects each individual’s particular combination of inherited genes that make it possible for a population to adapt to its environment.
Adaptation
An individual living thing.
Organism
Information gathered from observations.
Data
The boiling point of water in degrees Celsius.
100
Organisms are made of these.
Cells
Tiny specialized structures within cells that perform specific functions.
Organelles
This should state whether or not the hypothesis was supported by experimental data
A Conclusion
A decimal system of measurement whose units are based on certain physical standards and are scaled on multiples of 10.
Metric System
A combination of parts can form a more complex organization called this.
A System
This is composed of all living organisms and their nonliving surroundings.
An Ecosystem
This type of data are numbers that come from measurements or counting.
Quantitative Data
These microscopes shine a beam of electrons through a thin specimen.
Transmission Electron Micriscopes
This is how traits are passed from one generation to the next.
Through DNA
The smallest particle of an element that retains properties of the element.
An Atom
This variable is deliberately changed by the experimenter.
Independent Variable
A technique used to separate cell parts.
Cell Fractionation
