Bio 181 Exam 1
Living systems are... - correct answer-the most complex chemical systems on
Earth
Life is constrained by... - correct answer-the properties of chemistry and
physics
7 characteristics of all living organisms - correct answer-Cellular organization
Ordered complexity
Sensitivity
Growth, development, and reproduction
Energy utilization
Homeostasis
Evolutionary adaptation
levels of hierarchical organization - correct answer-cellular, organismal,
population, ecosystem, biosphere
hierarchical organization on the cellular level - correct answer-Atoms,
molecules, organelles, cells
hierarchical organization on the organismal level - correct answer-Tissues,
organs, organ systems
hierarchical organization on the Population level - correct answer-Population,
community
hierarchical organization on the ecosystem level - correct answer-make of
multiple populations
hierarchical organization on the biosphere level - correct answer-the earth
itself and all of its components
emergent propterties - correct answer-Each level has these...
Result from interaction of components
Cannot be deduced by looking at parts themselves
"Life"
, Science aims to understand the natural world through_________ and
____________ - correct answer-observation and reasoning
Deductive reasoning - correct answer-uses general principles to make specific
predictions
Inductive reasoning - correct answer-uses specific observations to develop
general conclusions
scientific method - correct answer-Observation
Hypothesis formation
Prediction
Experimentation
Conclusion
define hypothesis - correct answer-a possible explanation for an observation
criteria for hypothesis - correct answer-Must be tested to determine its validity
Is often tested in many different ways
Allows for predictions to be made
Iterative - correct answer-Hypotheses can be changed and refined with new
data
Experiment - correct answer-Tests the hypothesis
Must be carefully designed to test only one variable at a time
Consists of a test and a control
Predictions - correct answer-provide a way to test the validity of hypotheses
Hypothesis must be rejected if - correct answer-the experiment produces
results inconsistent with the predictions
what makes a hypothesis more valid - correct answer-The more
experimentally supported predictions a hypothesis makes
Reductionism - correct answer-To break a complex process down to its
simpler parts
