The biosphere is
the living world
Life's basic unit of structure and function is the
cell
Measurements of a plant's growth over a two week period represents
data
A map is an example of a
model.
The process by which organisms keep their internal conditions relatively stable is called
homeostasis
What are themes of biology?
Form and function; interaction with the environment; reproduction and inheritance; biological systems; cellular basis of life; energy and life; regulation; adaption and evolution; biology and society; scientific inquiry.
The cells of multicellular organisms are often
specialized to perform particular functions
Levels of organization in a multicellular organism from the simplest to the most complex
cell, tissue, organ, organ system.
What is the term for all parts of Earth inhabited by living things?
Biosphere
Which organization level includes all of the other levels?
Ecosystem
Many biologists call the broadest category of life a
domain.
Cell specializations in multicellular organisms allow cells to
perform different functions
The amount of light and temperature are examples of
factors to which living things respond.
What term prefers to cells having different jobs in an organism?
Specialization
A group of cells that together perform a similar function is called a
tissue.
An organ system is a group of organs that
works together in performing a major body function.
A logical conclusion based on observations is called a
theory.
You suggest that the presence of water could accelerate the growth of bread mold. This is a
hypothesis.
A controlled experiment allows the scientist to isolate and test
a single variable
The work of scientists generally begins with
making observations and asking questions.
Thinking that someone is at the door when you hear the doorbell is an example of an
inference
In science, a hypothesis is useful only if
it can be tested.
The idea that "all living things are made up of cells" is a
theory.
Biology is the scientific study of
life.
An experiment that tests the effect of a single variable is called a
controlled experiment
