Biology Lesson 1 Flashcards
Qualitative
- Deals With Description/Appearance
- Colors, Smells, Texture, Tastes, Appearance, Beauty
Quantitive
- Deals With Numbers/Measurement
- Length, Height, Area, Weight, Temperature, Humidity, Sound, Volume
Independent Variable (IV)
What Can Be Manipulated Or Changed / The One Condition That You Change In An Experiment
- The Amount Of Water, Light, Soil
Dependent Variable
What Is Being Measured
Dependent Variable DEPENDS On The INDEPENDENT Variable
(The amount of ____ given determines the amount of leaves/plants,growth)
Controlled (Constant) Variable
A Variable That Does Not Change During An Experiment
(Water Source, Containers, Soil Type)
Controlled Group
Group in an experiment does not receive the treatment by the researchers and is used as a benchmark to measure how the other tested subjects do.
Symbiosis
A Relationship Between 2 Or More Organisms That Live Closely Together
Commensalism
One Organism Benefits & The Other Is Neither Harmed Nor Helped
Mutualism
Both Organisms Benefit
Parasitism
One Organism (The Parasite) Benefits & The Other (The Host) Is Harmed
Ex. COVID
Modern Cell Theory
The Cell Is The Smallest Living Unit In All Organisms / All Living Things Are Made Of Cells / All Cells Come From Other Pre-Existing Cells
Unicellular
Has One Cell
Multicellular
Has Multiple Cells
6 Characteristics Of Life
Homeostasis
Metabolism
Reproduce
Stimuli (Respond To Environment)
Evolution
Has Cells
