Q

SI

A

Standard system of measurements used worldwide

20
Q

Tempature

A

Unit is C = Celsius, K = Kelvin

21
Q

Length

A

Distance between two points

22
Q

Volume

A

The amount of space occupied by an object

23
Q

Density

A

Mass per unit of volume of material to a solid

D = M/V

24
Q

Time

A

Interval between two events

25
Q

Ladder Method

A

K - H - D - Meters, liters, Grams - D - C - M

26
Q

Biological Systems

A

Shows a combination of parts that can form a more complex organization called a system. - bone + muscle + nerves = hand. (Mouth, esophagus, stomach, intestines, anus = digestive system.)

27
Q

Cellular basis of life

A

Organisms are made of cells and most multicellular organisms have cells that are specialized for different functions. (Single and multicellular organisms.)

28
Q

Form and function

A

How something works is related to its structure - ‘form fits function.’ (Bird wings; hollow bones)

29
Q

Reproduction and inheritance

A

The ability of an organism to reproduce their own kind or make offsprings. (Mother + Father = Offspring.)

30
Q

Interaction with environment

A

As part of an ecosystem watch organism interacts constantly with their environments. (Humans: Breath air, mow the lawn, fire, floods.)

31
Q

Energy and life

A

Life requires organisms to perform work which depends on energy. Energy is needed for moving, growing, or reproducing. (Organisms need food in order to make energy to survive)

32
Q

Regulation

A

Organisms have to ability to regulate their internal conditions, such as body temps. (Homeostasis: Body Temperature.)

33
Q

Adaptation and evolution

A

Changes in genes in each generation lead to inherited traits that help an organism survive and reproduce.

34
Q

Biology and society

A

Humans apply biology in many ways - medical procedure, stem cell research, and environmental issues are some examples. (COVID: Vaccines.)

35
Q

Scientific inquiry

A

Involves asking questions about nature and biology then using observations and experiments to answer those questions.(What do I want to wear today?)

36
Q

DNA

A

Instructions to create proteins

37
Q

Living things are based on a universal genetic code.

A

Organisms have DNA to determine proteins to figure out what they do. (Humans have DNA who tells us who we are.)

38
Q

Growth

A

To become larger in size.

39
Q

Development

A

To learn new skills

40
Q

Living things respond to their environment

A

Living organisms will responds differently to different things within their environment. (Deforestation: animals more to another location.)

41
Q

Stimulus

A

To respond to something hot, cold, sharp, etc.

42
Q

Homeostasis

A

The ability to maintain internal functions.

43
Q

Living things maintain and use material and energy

A

Living organisms must eat in order to produce energy for the body to perform bodily functions.

44
Q

Metabolism

A

Chemical reactions in cells/body

45
Q

Living things are made up of cells

A

The smallest unit that can perform a function.

46
Q

Cell

A

A microscopic structure that produces energy and enables your body to function.

47
Q

Groups of living things change/evolve over time.

A

How a species changes over a large period of time due to environmental pressures. (Humans and whales.)
