VERSION
Theory -CORRECTANSWER A hypothesis that has been tested with a significant
amount of data, backed by strong evidence
Law -CORRECTANSWER A descriptive statement or equation that reliably predicts
events under certain conditions
Hypothesis -CORRECTANSWER A testable prediction, often implied by a theory
Control -CORRECTANSWER In an experiment, the standard that is used for
comparison
Experimental group -CORRECTANSWER In an experiment, the group that is exposed
to the treatment, that is, to one version of the independent variable.
Independent variable -CORRECTANSWER The experimental factor that is
manipulated; the variable whose effect is being measured. Plotted on the x axis
,Dependent variable -CORRECTANSWER The outcome factor; the variable that may
change in response to manipulations of the independent variable. Plotted on the y axis
Autotrophs -CORRECTANSWER Organisms that are able to make their own food
Heterotrophs -CORRECTANSWER An organism that obtains organic food molecules
by eating other organisms or their by-products.
Diffusion -CORRECTANSWER Movement of molecules from an area of higher
concentration to an area of lower concentration; requires no energy
Osmosis -CORRECTANSWER Diffusion of water through a selectively permeable
membrane; moves from higher to lower water concentration
Active transport -CORRECTANSWER Energy-requiring process that moves material
across a cell membrane against a concentration difference
Botany -CORRECTANSWER The scientific study of plants
Biology -CORRECTANSWER The scientific study of life
Chemistry -CORRECTANSWER The study of the properties of matter and how matter
changes
, Genetics -CORRECTANSWER The scientific study of heredity
Ecology -CORRECTANSWER Scientific study of interactions among organisms and
between organisms and their environment
Evolutionary Biology -CORRECTANSWER The study of organisms and their changes
Molecular Cell Biology -CORRECTANSWER The study of the molecules and the
structures that make up the cell, the reactions that occur within the cell, including DNA.
Stomata -CORRECTANSWER Small openings on the underside of a leaf through which
oxygen and carbon dioxide can move
Guard cells -CORRECTANSWER The two cells that flank the stomatal pore and
regulate the opening and closing of the pore.
Respiration -CORRECTANSWER Biochemical process in which an organism gets
energy by breaking bonds of ATP
Aerobic respiration -CORRECTANSWER The process by which cells convert glucose
and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.
