(33 cards)

Organism

Front

a creature such as a plant, animal or a single-celled life form, or something that has interdependent parts and that is being compared to a living creature

Back

Prokaryotic Cell

Front

A type of cell lacking a membrane-enclosed nucleus and membrane-enclosed organelles. Organisms with prokaryotic cells (bacteria and archaea) are called prokaryotes.

Back

Population

Front

A group of individuals of the same species that live in the same area and interbreed, producing fertile offspring.

Back

Emergent properties

Front

New properties that arise with each step upward in the hierarchy of life, owing to the arrangement and interactions of parts as complexity increases.

Back

Eukaryotic Cell

Front

A type of cell with a membrane-enclosed nucleus and membrane-enclosed organelles. Organisms with eukaryotic cells (protists, plants, fungi, and animals) are called eukaryotes.

Back

Deductive Reasoning

Front

A type of logic in which specific results are predicted from a general premise.

Back

Data

Front

Recorded observations.

Back

Organelles

Front

Complex biological molecules are assembled into tiny compartments within cells called organelles

Back

Independent Variable

Front

It is a variable that stands alone and isn't changed by the other variables you are trying to measure.

Back

Dependent Variable

Front

It is something that depends on other factors.

Back

What are the 5 Properties of Life?

Front

1. Cellular Organization 2. Metabolism 3. Homeostasis 4. Heredity 5. Growth and Reproduction

Back

What is a hypothesis?

Front

A hypothesis is a statement that can be tested

Back

What is the Theory of Natural Selection?

Front

A process in which individuals that have certain inherited traits tend to survive and reproduce at higher rates than other individuals because of those traits.

Back

What are the 6 steps of the Scientific Method?

Front

1. Observation 2. Hypothesis 3. Prediction 4. Experiment/Test 5. Controls 6. Conclusion

Back

DNA

Front

Deoxyribonucleic acid: a long linear polymer found in the nucleus of a cell and formed from nucleotides and shaped like a double helix

Back

What are the 7 Properties/Characteristics of Life

Front

1. Order 2. Regulation 3. Energy Processing 4. Evolutionary Adaptation 5. Response to the Environment 6. Reproduction 7. Growth and Development

Back

What are Bacteria?

Front

All unicellular prokaryotic (no nucleus) organisms with peptidoglycan in their cell walls

Back

Inductive Reasoning

Front

Induction moves from a set of specific observations (humans require organic molecules, fish require organic molecules) to reach a general conclusion (all animals require organic molecules

Back

Safety

Front

Use common sense

Back

How would you define a prokaryotic cell?

Front

A prokaryotic cell is simpler and usually smaller, and does not contain a nucleus or other membrane-enclosed organelles

Back

The energy used by most organisms for metabolism and growth ultimately comes from....

Front

The sun

Back

Metric Measurement

Front

Kilo, Hecto, Deka, Base, Centi, Deci, Milli

Back

What is deductive reasoning?

Front

Deductive reasoning uses general premises to make specific predictions

Back

Hypothesis

Front

A testable explanation for a set of observations based on the available data and guided by inductive reasoning. A hypothesis is narrower in scope than a theory.

Back

Controlled Experiment

Front

An experiment in which an experimental group is compared with a control group that varies only in the factor being tested.

Back

How would you define a Eukaryotic cell?

Front

A eukaryotic cell has membrane-enclosed organelles, the largest of which is usually the nucleus

Back

Tissues

Front

An integrated group of cells with a common structure, function, or both.

Back

Metabolism

Front

All living things use energy. The transfer of energy from one form of to another in cells is an example of metabolism. Organisms transfer energy from one place to another using special energy-carrying molecules called ATP molecules.

Back

Ecosystems

Front

All the organisms in a given area as well as the abiotic factors with which they interact; one or more communities and the physical environment around them

Back

Graphing

Front

T-Title U-Units L-Labels L-Line I-Intervals P-Plot

Back

Molecule

Front

Two or more atoms held together by covalent bonds.

Back

Cell

Front

The lowest level of organization that can perform all activities required for life

Back

Cell

Front

The part of a neuron that houses the nucleus and most other organelles.
