Characteristics of Life
In order for any organism to be considered living, they must have this that we looked at last week.
What are cells?
This theory states that life comes from non-living things and was believed until roughly the 17th century.
What is Spontaneous Generation/Abiogenisis?
In biology this is what is being measured in an experiment.
What is the dependent variable?
This factor in an experiment remains the same throughout the entire experiment.
What is a constant?
This part of the microscope that holds a slide in place for viewing.
What is the stage/stage clips?
This characteristic of life specifies that an organism can change in size and in form.
What is grow and develop?
This word means the study of life.
What is Biology?
In science this is a possible explanation that can/needs to be tested.
What is a Hypothesis?
This is a logical and organized way to solve a problem.
What is the scientific method?
These are the three objectives and their magnification rates.
Low power–4x
Medium power–10x
High power–40x
This is the sum of all the chemical reactions and what organism do with energy.
What is a metabolism?
This Greek scientist/philosopher first hypothesized Spontaneous Generation.
Who is Aristotle?
In science, constants are needed to increase the likelihood that this is variable is responsible for conclusion or evidence.
What is independent variable?
The independent variable is the one and only factor that is changed or varies to see if something will happen. The thing that is measured is called this.
What is the dependent variable?
This is used to control the amount of light reflected on the specimen.
What is the diaphragm?
To adapt takes centuries. Species do this over a span of many years; usually, in response to changes in the environment.
What is evolve?
This scientist helped disprove Spontaneous Generation with maggots
Who is Redi?
In biology this is an interpretation formed by using prior knowledge.
What is an inference?
Performing the experiment numerous times or having many trials running simultaneously to verify results is called this.
What are repeated trials?
The first objective to be used to see a specimen.
What is 4x?
The other word for regulation.
What is homeostasis?
This independent variable was part of Redi's Experiment.
What is the covering of the jars of meat
In biology this kind of observation normally is more of a generalization or opinion. For example: “It’s very warm in here.”
What is a qualitative observation?
Name the scientific method steps in order.
A question about the world/observation, hypothesis, test/experiment, analysis, conclusion, report results.
Which comes first, using the coarse adjustment or the fine adjustment?
The coarse adjustment.
