Characteristics of living things
The study of living things.
What is biology?
The first step toward scientific discovery.
What is observation?
This is the only mammal that can fly (hint: it is one of Ms. Hartz's favorites).
What are bats?
The scientific study of interactions among organisms and their environments.
What is ecology?
This is the original source of energy for nearly all ecosystems on Earth
The Sun
All living things are composed of one or more cells. Each cell contains this genetic material.
What is DNA?
A testable statement or question to answer.
What is a hypothesis?
This meme features an object/person flying off to Popular broadway musical song.
What is the "Holding space for Defying Gravity"/Wicked meme?
The process by which nitrogen in the atmosphere is converted
What is nitrogen fixation?
Organisms that use energy from the sun or energy stored in chemical compounds to manufacture their own nutrients.
What are producers or autotrophs?
The production of offspring.
What is reproduction?
The experimental group in which all conditions are kept the same except for the single condition being tested:
What is the control?
This is Ms. Hartz's TRUE age.
What is 27?
A species that has a disproportionately large effect on its natural environment relative to its abundance.
What is a keystone species?
These organisms, such as fungi, break down and absorb nutrients from dead organisms.
What are decomposers?
Any structure, behavior, or internal process that enables an organism to respond to stimuli and better survive in an environment.
What is an adaptation?
The condition in an experiment that is changed.
What is the independent variable?
This is "your favorite artist's favorite artist".
Who is Chappell Roan?
This is the maximum number of individuals of a population that can be sustained indefinitely by a given area.
What is an ecosystem's carrying capacity?
This percentage of energy is passed from one trophic level to the next.
What is 10%?
Regulation of an organism's internal environment to maintain conditions suitable for its survival.
What is homeostasis?
While changing the independent variable, the scientist observes or measures this condition that results from the change.
What is the dependent variable?
Despite only recording three albums as a group, you could still call them "well-seasoned." With over 100 million record sales, what musical act is the best-selling girl group of all time?
Who are the Spice Girls?
The greatest level of biodiversity is typically found in this biome near the equator. (hint: it is two words)
What is the tropical rainforest?
Autotrophs use photosynthesis to convert the sun's energy, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose and oxygen. When heterotrophs feed on autotrophs, they use this process to release carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere.
What is cellular respiration?
