INTO A SUMMARY FOR QUICK
REVISION
Francis Bacon
developed the scientific method
Scientific Method
a testable questions, hypothesis, experiment,
analysis,report results
Organization of life
atom, molecule, macro-molecule, organelles, cell, tissue,
organ, organ system, organism
experiments are
comparisons with control
Properties of Life
order, sensitivity or response to stimuli, reproduction,
adaption, growth and development, homeostasis, energy
processing, evolution
response to simuli
eating because you feel hungry; a plant bending towards
the sun
asexual reproduction
Process by which a single parent reproduces by itself
Adaptation
how an organism fits in and increases reproductive
potential
Growth and Development
, genes provide specific instructions that direct cellular
growth
Homeostasis
A tendency to maintain a balanced or constant internal
state; the regulation of any aspect of body chemistry, such
as blood glucose, around a particular level
Energy Processing
using energy for metabolic activities
Evolution
changes in heredity over time; make adaption possible
Cell
building blocks of life
Why isn't a virus considered to be alive?
A virus is not made up of cells
Prokaryote
A unicellular organism that lacks a nucleus and membrane
bound organelles
Eukaryote
A cell that contains a nucleus and membrane bound
organelles
Population
the individuals that belong to the same species and live in
a given area at a particular time
Community
All the different populations that live together in an area
Ecosystem
a community of organisms and its non-living environments
Biosphere
part of Earth in which life exists including land, water, and
air or atmosphere
Diversity of Life
