Qualitative Observation correct answers observation that uses description (ex. color)
Quantitative Observation correct answers observation that uses numbers
Hypothesis correct answers statement based on observation
Prediction correct answers outcome if the hypothesis is proven true (if...then statement)
Scientific Method correct answers goal is to falsify the null hypothesis
Null Hypothesis correct answers statement of no effect
Statistical Tests correct answers test the results of the experiment to support/refute the hypothesis
Controlled Experiment correct answers experiment using the same species from the same
location with a controlled substance (putting salt water on frogs instead of toxin)
Comparative Experiment correct answers experiment using the same species but from different
locations (comparing results on frogs from California and Utah)
Steps of the Scientific Method correct answers 1. Observation
2. Question
3. Hypothesis
4. Prediction
5. Experiment with Quantifiable data
6. Statistical Tests
, Characteristics of Living Things correct answers 1. Made of cells
2. Have genetic information to pass to offspring
3. Genetically related and Evolve
4. Convert environmental molecules into biological molecules
5. Take energy from the environment to do work
6. Regulate internal environment (Homeostasis)
7. Metabolism
Phylogeny correct answers evolutionary tree (all life shares common history)
Intersections are known as common ancestors
Ends of the tree are known as descendants
Major Themes in Biology (all themes interact) correct answers 1. Evolution
2. Structure tells function due to millions of years of evolution
3. Information flow, exchange and storage
4. Energy Transformation
5. Systems
Events in history that changed organisms correct answers 1. Formation of prokaryotic cell-- a
cell is recognized as having a membrane that isolates the organism which allows the organism to
replicate and perform chemical processes
2. Photosyntheses in prokaryotes-- changed the atmosphere by the release of oxygen
3. Aerobic Metabolism-- taking energy from molecules so cells can grow to do more chemical
processes
4. Eukaryotic Cells work together-- organisms begin becoming multicellular and more diverse
and cells begin doing different jobs (specialization)
