First Quiz

Question 1

Science

Answer 1

Science is an objective, self correcting method for gathering and organizing information about the natural world through observation and repeated experimentation.

We also use Science to understand events/processes which can help us make predictions about the future.

Question 2

Biology

Answer 2

The study of living organisms, divided into many different specialized fields

Question 3

Observation

Answer 3

observation is observing things you can physically see in the natural world.
it is a process of gathering information about events/ processes and is done in an careful and orderly way.

Question 4

Data

Answer 4

informations gathered from controlled experiments

Question 5

Quantitative Data

Answer 5

Data that is expressed as numbers, usually from counting or measuring.

Question 6

Qualitative Data

Answer 6

Data recorder about the quality/ characteristic of something which cannot be counted or measured.

Question 7

Inference

Answer 7

a logical interpretation for something based on prior knowledge and experiences

Question 8

Hypothesis

Answer 8

a proposed scientific explanation for a set of observations that can be tested. A hypothesis could be based on a logical inference and an informed creative imagination

Question 9

Controlled Experiment

Answer 9

an experiment in which one (or a few) variable is changed at a time. All other variables should be kept controlled and constant

Question 10

Variable

Answer 10

factors of an experiment that can be changed

Question 11

Independent Variable

Answer 11

factors of an experiment that are changed by the scientists

Question 12

Dependent Variable

Answer 12

factor of an experiment that changes because of the independent variable

Question 13

Controlled Variable

Answer 13

Factors of an experiment that are kept constant and unchanged throughout the experiment.

Question 14

Control Group

Answer 14

The group in an experiment that other groups are being compared to and where an independent variable does not influence its results.

Question 15

Experimental Group

Answer 15

the group/groups that are being compared to the control group and has independent variables.

Question 16

Why is the definition of Science long and broad?

Answer 16

because there are many different categories that fall in to science, and it is also always changes.

Question 17

Objectiveness and Self Correction

Answer 17

Objectiveness: be open to new ideas and take on new perspectives as science is always changing.
Self Correction: Information that scientist though was correct, could later be changed as new data is always being discovered.

Question 18

Gathering and Organizing Info

Answer 18

data (information that is gathered through experimentation) should be organized and ordered in a way that future scientists can use and build new ideas off of.

Question 19

Observation and Experimentaion

Answer 19

Observation: Observations should be made about things one can physically see in the naturally world
Experimentation: experiments should be done over and over again and run by people other than yourself.

Question 20

What are the seven characteristics of living things.

Answer 20

Organization 
Homeostasis 
Metabolism 
Reproduction
Growth and Development 
Response to Stimuli
Evolution

Question 21

Organization

Answer 21

all living things are made up cells .

unicellular: organisms with one cell
multicellular: many cells; cells–tissue–organ–organ system (Biological levels of organization)

Question 22

Homeostasis

Answer 22

a maintained regulated balance within an organism. The feedback system maintains homeostasis.
Examples are: maintained ph level, temperature, percent of water concentration.
(even unicellular organisms rely on the cell membrane to maintain homeostasis.

Question 23

Metabolism

Answer 23

a way to capture engird and use it for processes such as maintain homeostasis, and photothynseses. Metabloism is an act of breaking down glucose in cellular respiration to make ATP energy.

Question 24

Reproduction

Answer 24

unicellular: the cell splits into two
multicellular: sperm and egg come together to make a zygote(unfertilized egg)

Question 25

Growth and Development

Answer 25

all organisms contain genetic material that codes for growth and development.

Question 26

Response To Stimuli

Answer 26

all living things respond to both internal and external stimuli such as hunger, danger and temperature

Question 27

Evolution

Answer 27

the process by which different kinds of living organisms are thought to have developed and diversified from earlier forms during the history of the earth.

Question 28

What are the biological levels of organization.

Answer 28

cell–tissue—organ—organ system–organism–population–comunity–ecosysytem–biome–biosphere
