ECONOMIC BOTANY
uses verifiable observations and
measurements to describe science
DISCOVERY SCIENCE
- USES DATA FROM DISCOVERY SCIENCE
- REQUIRES TESTING OF HYPOTHESIS
HYPOTHESIS -BASED SCIENCE
A PROPOSED EXPLINATION FOR A SET OF OBSERVATION
HYPOTHESIS
IS SUPORTED BY A LARGE AND USUALLY GROWING BODY OF EVIDENCE
THEORY
the complex organization of living things (Cells as the basic
unit of life)
ORDER
an ability to maintain an internal environment
consistent with life
REGULATION
consistent growth and development
controlled by DNA
GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT
Acquiring energy and
transforming it to a form useful for the organism
METABOLISM
an ability to respond to
environmental stimuli
RESPONSIVENESS
The ability to perpetuate the species
REPRODUCTION
acquisition of traits that best suit the organism
to its environment (evolutionary adaptation)
ADAPTABILITY
