25
what were the prokaryotic kingdoms originally grouped as?
monera
26
eukaryotic kingdoms
eukarya
27
Eukarya
protists, fungi, plants, animals
28
spot where life branches off in tree
most recent common ancestor
29
Which of the two (prokaryotes or eukaryotes) have a nucleus
eukaryotes
30
where is prokaryotic dna contained
freefloating instead of nuclear membrane
31
Which of the two (prokaryotes or eukaryotes) has a smaller cell?
Prokaryotic have smaller and simpler cells, while eukaryotic larger and many live as multicellular
32
Which of the two (prokaryotes or eukaryotes) have membrane bound organelles?
eukaryotes
33
Which of the two (prokaryotes or eukaryotes) have cell membranes?
both
34
Which of the two (prokaryotes or eukaryotes) have cytoplasm?
both
35
Which of the two (prokaryotes or eukaryotes) have ribosomes?
both
36
ribosomes produce...
protein
37
examples of prokaryotes
bacteria
38
first step scientific method
identify problem
39
second step scientific method
develop hypothesis and make prediction (if/then statement)
40
hypothesis
testable explanation of process
41
prediction
statement of what you should find in nature
42
third step scientific method
experiment
43
experiment
test carried out under controlled conditions and manipulated by researchers
44
fourth step scientific method
repeat the tests/devise new ones if hypothesis went through. if not, go back to step 2.
45
fifth step scientific method
analyze/report test results and conclusion
46
scientific theory
hypothesis not disproved over course of years--researchers can't find evidence disproving it, low probability of being wrong
47
Components of experiment
variable, independent and dependent, control group, quantitative reports
48
variable
feature of object/event may differ over time
49
independent variable
x, input, feature that experimenter manipulates
50
dependent variable
y, output, feature affected by x
51
diversity in life
way in which we function
52
unity in life
cells, DNA, life functions
53
Big Idea 1
process of evolution drives diversity and unity of life
54
What drives evolution?
natural selection
55
natural selection
organisms best adapted to their environment are the only ones tht survive
56
Energy
capacity to do work
57
Big Idea 2
Biological systems use free energy + molecular building blocks to grow, reproduce, + maintain dynamic homeostasis
58
Big Idea 3
Living systems store, retrieve, transmit and respond to info essential to life processes thru DNA
59
DNA
deoxyribonucleic acid, a nucleic acid that holds info about building proteins
60
proteins use
structural + functional roles vital to survival
61
where does the organism inherit DNA
parents
62
how do parents transmit DNA to offspring
reproduction
63
Big Idea 4
Bio systems interact, and these systems + their interactions possess complex properties
64
how do organisms sense and respond to changes
receptors
65
receptors
structures that detect stimuli
66
stimuli
specific kinds of energy, pressure, light, heat, sound
67
graph components
Title b. The independent variable (X-axis) c. The dependant variable (Y-axis) d. Scale for each variable e. Legend (or key)
