Principles of Biology Prelims Flashcards
It must be testable and measurable, a possible explanation for a set of observations or an answer to a scientific question.
Hypothesis
Variable that is tested and changed
Independent Variable
Variables that are kept the same throughout the entire experiment.
Controlled Variable
Variable that is measured
Dependent Variable
The process of interpreting the meaning of the data we have collected, organized, and displayed in the form of a table or graph.
Data Analysis
A summary of what you have learned from an experiment.
Conclusion
The science of Life
Biology
All living things are made of cells
Cell Theory
Characteristics of living things are controlled by genes.
The Gene Theory
Living things change over time due to changing environmental conditions.
Evolution
Organisms acquire this to survive the changing conditions
Adaptations
electrons, protons, and neutrons
Subatomic Particles
SMALLEST UNIT OF FUCKING LIFE
Cell
Two types of cells
Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic
BACTERIA
Prokaryotic
Contains organelles surrounded by membranes, plant
Eukaryotic
Outer membrane of cell that controls movement in and out of the cell
Cell Membrane
Most commonly found in plant cells & bacteria, protects cells
Cell Wall
Directs cell activities
Nucleus
Surrounds nucleus, made of two layers (inner and outer)
Nuclear Membrane
Made of DNA, contains instructions
Chromosomes
Inside nucleus
Nucleolus
Gel-like mixture
Cytoplasm
Moves materials around in cell
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Make proteins
Ribosomes
POWERHOUSE OF THE MOTHEFUCKING CELL
Mitochondria
Move materials within and out of the cell
Golgi Bodies
Transports undigested material to cell, cell breaks down
Lysosome
Membrane-bound sacs for storage, digestion, and waste removal
Vacuoles
Photosynthesis takes place
Chloroplast
FATHER OF THE FUCKING EVOLUTION
Charles Darwin
What did Charles Darwin propose?
Natural Selection
Four Steps of Natural Selection (COVS)
Competition, Overproduction, Variation, Selection
Produce more offspring that can survive
Overproduction
Unique combination of inherited traits
Variation
Survival of the fittest
Competition
Best traits/adaptations will survive and could pass its traits to offspring.
Selection
5 Evidences for Evolution (BEHVF)
Biochemical Evidence
Embryology
Homologous Body Structure
Vestigial Organs
Fossil Record
Document the course of life through time
Fossil Records
Similar anatomy in different types of animals because of common ancestor
Homologous Body Structure
“leftover” traces of evolution that serves no purpose
Vestigial Organs
Yung ano same itsura ng pinangalingan pero fish pwede pala maging baby sheesh
Embryology
DNA with more similar sequences, MONKEY
Biochemical Evidence
