ORAL EXAM Flashcards
Is guessing considered science?
Yes, partly. guessing is considered scientific if it’s only followed by an experimentation.
Is science considered guessing?
No, science is not considered guessing alone, we have other factors that we need to consider such as scientific method.
In science, propositions are verifiable. Why?
No concept in Science is absolutely true, it can be verified (confirmed) by succeeding experimentation. It means that not because it was stated by a scientist doesn’t mean it’s absolutely true or when you conduct experiments.
In Science, propositions are falsifiable. Why?
its still scientific, it’s just that previous scientists made certain errors. it’s just that it’s falsified because their theory is now corrected by current scientists.
give an example of falsified theory and is now corrected by current scientists.
aristotle think heavier objects fall faster—he provided evidences but there are limiting patterns and there are things he did not know about (air friction is the one that actually affects the objects because of the surface area)
Biology is the study of ________
life and living organisms
How did life begin?

all living organisms are created by an entity — God
TRUE OR FALSE. divine creation is not proven but testified by the book of Exodus. If FALSE, whats the correct book?
The book of Genesis
What is the mythology ‘Malakas and Maganda’ all about?
a specific bird struck the bamboo stem and Malakas and Maganda came out.
Abiogenesis is also called ________________.
Spontaneous generation
Define Spontaneous generation
This tells that life exists from non living or inanimate objects. This idea focuses on that living things come from nonliving things.

2000 years
Define Biogenesis.
It is the development of life from pre existing life.

Who are the scientists who verified abiogenesis?
Aristotle
Jan Baptist Van Helmont
John Needham
Who are the scientists who verified biogenesis?
Francesco Redi
Lazzaro Spallanzani
Louis Pasteur
What BC did Aristotle existed?
300 BC
He is the first person who documented and confirmed that life came from non-living things.
Aristotle
Slime =
Sand =
Hollow of Rocks =
Oysters, Scallops, Limpets/Barnacles
He said that “life arose from nonliving material if the material contained pneuma”
Aristotle
Pneuma means ________?
Heat
What year did Jan Baptist Van Helmont did he conducted his experiment?
1634
What plant did Jan planted?
willow twig
“Although I thought that the plant’s growth comes from the soil, I realized that the plant’s growth comes from the ______.”
Water
Helmont wasn’t aware about the process of ___________ during this time but he kind of tried to triggered the idea of ______________
Photosynthesis
What year did John Needham conducted his experiment?
1745
broth heated > __________ > wait > microbial growth
flask open
“New ________ must have arisen spontaneously.”
microbes
TRUE OR FALSE. Francesco Redi conducted his experiment in the year 1668.
True
He was born to be ready
Francesco Redi
How did Redi conducted his experiment?
Redi conducted, open container, cork-sealed container, gauze-covered container.
The only reason why maggots appear is because they have _______________ with the meat.
direct and physical contact
“Maggots could only form when flies were allowed to lay eggs in the meat, and that the maggots were the offspring of files, not the product of spontaneous generation,” Did Redi verified or falsified?
He falsified
He is known as an “imitator” as he did almost the same experiment as John Needham.
Lazzaro Spallanzani
What year did Spallanzani conducted experimentation?
1768
broth heated > flask sealed > wait > _______
no growth
“Heated but sealed flasks remained clear, without any signs of spontaneous growth, unless the flasks were subsequently opened to the air. This suggested that microbes introduced these flasks from the air,” Did Lazzaro verified?
No, he falsified.
He is known as someone who preserves wines in Europe.
Louis Pasteur
What year did Louis Pasteur conducted his experiment?
1858
How many setups did Pasteur did?
2 setups
What did Pasteur did in the 1st setup?
He made sure that it’s open but he also made it difficult for the microorganisms outside to get in, that’s why he made a swan flask–so the wind won’t thoroughly get inside the flask.
In the 2nd setup?
he tried to break the neck of the swan flask, he found out that the bacteria reached the sterile broth which clearly gives him the idea that people who antagonized Aristotle’s idea are correct.
Name the 3 Evidences of Origin of Life
- Geologic evidences
- Chemical evidences
- Molecular evidences
first organism and “earliest fossils that we had”
Stromatolites
according to scientists and paleontologists, stromatolites existed during at the last stage of _________ and early stage of ________
Hadean Era, Archean Era
Stromatolites produces oxygen because they are __________?
photosynthetic
Are organic materials present in the Hadean Era?
No, there was none.
Inorganic and organic molecules that existed during the Hadean time:
- Nitrogen
- Ammonia
- Methane
- Carbon dioxide
- Water
- Hydrogen Gas
Is there an interaction of inorganic and organic molecules such as water and nitrogen? If yes, elaborate.
Yes, there was an interaction because of the tremendous energy source which is lightning.
The idea of Primordial Soup is made by ___________.
Alexander Oparin
The idea of Primordial Soup leads up to the production and formation of _________
amino acid
amino acid > ___________ > organisms (“_________”)
biomolecules, organisms
What does Sophia do that makes it seem human?
speaking and facial expressions
Why can’t we not considered Sophia as a living organism?
because she can’t reproduce in terms of cell growth.
Name the Characteristics of Living Organisms (orderly)

develop
Give an example of development
from becoming in a fetal stage to growing physically, mentally, emotionally and psychologically.
Why does bacteria develop but doesn’t grow?
Bacteria grow but not significantly because their DNA is encoded as microorganisms.
