Questions and Answers 100% Pass
experiment - ✔✔a test of a hypothesis; a method to verify the accuracy of the
predictions made from a hypothesis
epidemiology - ✔✔looking at correlations between two variables. Often used for
human-health investigations
variable - ✔✔factor, trait, condition that is able to exist in different types or amounts
independent, dependent, control - ✔✔3 types of variables
constant - ✔✔experimental conditions that are not changed throughout the experiment
and DO NOT affect the experiment
assumption - ✔✔a statement that is accepted or believed to be true without evidence
ex:
inference - ✔✔a statement that is accepted or believed to be true on the basis of
evidence
ex:
hypothesis - ✔✔a causal explanation of an observable phenomenon; an assertion that
leads to testable predictions

, prediction - ✔✔a claim or statement made in advance of the actual observation of a
phenomenon
Sampling Error - ✔✔errors that are due to small sampling size or inappropriate
sampling from a large group
experimental error - ✔✔inaccuracy resulting from inadequate equipment or sloppy use
of equipment
interpolation - ✔✔estimation of an unmeasured quantity based on the trend shown by
data points on either side of the unmeasured quantity
extrapolation - ✔✔estimation of unmeasured quantities based on extending the graph
line beyond the measured data
grow, reproduce (asexual or sexual), maintain homeostasis, sense/respond to stimuli,
obtain and use energy - ✔✔5 traits of living things
all living things:
lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids - ✔✔4 macromolecules of life are:
polymer - ✔✔long molecule consisting of many similar building blocks
carbohydrates, nucleic acids, proteins - ✔✔3 of the four building blocks of life are
polymers. Which are they?
dehydration reaction - ✔✔reaction that occurs when two monomers bond together
through the loss of water molecule. Makes a polymer
hydrolysis - ✔✔breaks down a polymer into two monomers by adding a water
molecule
