| 911521812 | A cell can________ | 1. regulate its internal enviroment 2. take in and use energy 3. respond to its enviroment 4. develop and maintain its complex organization 5. give rise to new cells | 21 | |
| 911521813 | All cells | are enclosed by a membrane and regulate the passage of materials between the cell and the surrounding enviroment. | 22 | |
| 911521814 | Prokaryotic cells | were the first cells to evolve, are simpler and much smaler than eukaryotic cells; ex. bacteria and archea | 23 | |
| 911521815 | Eukaryotic cells | contain a membrane enclosed organelles, are found in plants, animals, and fungi; has a nucleus | 24 | |
| 911521816 | Cells illustrate another theme in biology: | the correlation of structure and function. | 25 | |
| 911521817 | Structure is related to _____ at all levels of biological organization. | function | 26 | |
| 911521818 | Living organisms interact with their enviroments, which include | - other organisms - physical factors | 27 | |
| 911521819 | In most ecosystems | - plants are the producers that provide the food -consumers eat plants and other animals -decomposers act as recyclers, changing matter into simpler mineral nutrients | 28 | |
| 911521820 | The dynamics of ecosytems include the major process: | 1. The recycling of the chemical nutrients from the atmosphere and soil through producers, consumers, and decomposers back to the enviroment. 2. The one way flow of energy through an ecosystem, entering as sun light, converted to chemical energy, by producers, passed on to consumers, and exiting as heat. | 29 | |
| 911521821 | All cells have DNA, the chemaical substance of genes. | ... | 30 | |
| 911521822 | Genes | - the unit of inheritance that transmits information from parents to offspring - are grouped into very long DNA molecules called chromosomes - control the activities of a cell | 31 | |
| 911521823 | A species genes are coded in the sequences of the four building blocks making up DNA's double helix. ex ATCG | - All forms of life use essentially the same code to translate the info. stored in DNA in the proteins. - The diversity of life arises from the difference in DNA sequences. | 32 | |
| 911521824 | Taxonomy | names species and classifies them into a system of broader groups | 33 | |
| 911521825 | The three domains are | Bacteria, archea, and eukarya | 34 | |
| 911521826 | Bacteria | the most diverse and widespread prokaryotes | 35 | |
| 911521827 | Archea | prokaryotes that often live in earth's extreme enviroments | 36 | |
| 911521828 | Eukarya | have eukaryotic cells - single-celled protists - multi-cellular animals, fungi, and plants | 37 | |
| 911521829 | What does evolution account for? | Evolution acccounts for life's dual nature of kinship and diversity | 38 | |
| 911521830 | Natural selection | a mechanism for evolution | 39 | |
| 911521831 | Natural selection was infered by connecting two observations..... | 1. Individuals in a population vary in their traits, many of which are passed on from parents to offspring. 2. A population can produce far more offspring than the enviroment can support. | 40 | |
| 911521832 | Science is derived from the Latin verb meaning | "to know" | 41 | |
| 911521833 | Inductive reasoning | to draw general conclusions from many observations | 42 | |
| 911521834 | Deductive reasoning | to come up with ways to test a hypothesis | 43 | |
| 911521835 | Hypothesis | a proposed explanation for a set of observations | 44 | |
| 911521836 | A theory is | - much broader in scope than a hypothesis - usually general enough to generate many new, specific hypotheses - supported by a large and usually growing body of evidence | 45 | |
| 911521837 | hypothesis must be | testable and falsifiable | 46 | |
| 911521838 | An actual research project demonstrates | the process of science | 47 | |
| 911521839 | Science seeks natural causes for natural phenomena. | - The scope of science is limited to the study of structures and the process that we can directly observe and measure. - Hypotheses about supernatural forces or explanations are outside the bounds of science, because they generate hypotheses that cannot be tested by science. | 48 | |
| 911521840 | The goal of science is to understand _______ | natural phenomena | 49 | |
| 911521841 | The goal of technology is | to apply scientific knowledge for some specific purposes | 50 | |

| 911521843 | Technological advances stem from scientific research. | ... | 52 | |
| 911521844 | Research benefits from new technologies. | ... | 53 | |
| 911521845 | Evolutionary theory is useful in | agriculture, medicine, forensics, consevation | 54 | |
| 911521846 | Human-caused enviromental changes are powerful selective forces that effect the evolution of many species, including | - antibiotic-resistant bacteria - pesticide-resistant pests - endangered species - increasing rates of extinction | 55 |
