1639551886Independent VariableIt is a variable that stands alone and isn't changed by the other variables you are trying to measure.30
1639551887TheoryAn explanation that is broader in scope than a hypothesis, generates new hypotheses, and is supported by a large body of evidence.31
1639551917What are the 7 Characteristics of Life?1. Order 2. Regulation 3. Energy Processing 4. Evolutionary Adaptation 5. Response to the Environment 6. Reproduction 7. Growth and Development32

1639551889Why is Biology a Science?Biology is a science since it takes care to interpret the nature, according to the scientific method, which establishes the resolution of hypotheses raised by the researcher, by means of using different techniques for the creation of representative models of nature.34
1639551890Distinguish between Inductive and Deductive ReasoningInductive reasoning derives generalizations from specific cases and deductive reasoning predicts specific outcomes from general premises.35
1639551891What are the 7 steps of the Scientific Method?1. Observe 2. Research 3. Form a hypothesis 4. Test the hypothesis 5. Analyze results and draw conclusions 6. Report your findings 7. Conduct more research36
1639551892What is the difference between hypothesis, theory and law?The Difference between a Hypothesis a Theory and a Law there are very distinct. A hypothesis is a statement that can be tested. A theory is a statement that has not been tested. A Law is a statement that is relevant and is true.37
1639551893What is the difference between observational and experimental investigations?Observational investigations do not manipulate data38
1639551918What is the difference between qualitative and quantitative data?Quantitative data includes recorded measurements which can be organized into tables or graphs and qualitative data would include observations39
1639551894What is the relationship between the conclusion and the hypothesis?The conclusion is a statement about the experiment's results. As a report of your data, it can't be considered wrong even if the results don't support your hypothesis. You have learned that your hypothesis does not answer your original research question.40

1639551898How do we distinguish between results(data) and conclusions?Results are measurable data and a conclusion is a report about what you learned based on w the results45
1639551899Concept 1.2: Why is evolution considered the core theme of biology?Evolution accounts for the unity and diversity of life and it explains the most fundamental aspects of all life on earth. It accounts for the common features shared by all forms of life due to the descent from a common ancestor.46
1639551900Concept 1.3: How could natural selection have led to the evolution of adaptations such as the thick, water conserving leaves of the mother of pearl plant?Ancestors of this plant may have exhibited variation in how well their leaves conserved water. Because not much soil is present in the crevices where these plants are found, the variant plans that could conserve water may hav survived better and been able to produce more offspring.47
1639551901Define Biology? What is the definition of BiologyBiology is the scientific study of life48
1639551902What is the molecule that can account for both the unity and the diversity of life?DNA49
