Test 1 Material

Science that studies living things.

Animals, Plantae, Protists, Fungi, Archaea, and Bacteria

a systematic process of arriving at a solution to an unknown or understanding an event in nature that involves observations, experiments, and interpretations of data.

1) observation 2) question 3) hypothesis 4) experimentation 5) conclusions

Collection, analysis, and interpretation of data

Any difference between data is called p value. p0.05 insufficient evidence

Null hypothesis, no differences. Want to reject null hypothesis

False. Does not prove causation

1 or -1

A fundamental concept that is widely accepted due to the fact that it has been repeatedly tested and has not been falsified.. Example: Theory of Evolution

A theory that has remained unchanged for a significant amount of time. Example: Law of Gravity

1) Metabolic Process 2) Generative Process 3) Responsive Process 4) Control Process 5) Structural Organization

Total of all chemical reactions and associated energy changes that take place within an organism. Energy needed for movement, growth, chemical reactions, reproduction.

Organisms increase in size. Number of individuals increase in population by reproducing.

Ability to respond to stimuli.

Coordination and regulation. Homeostasis: mechanisms that ensure that all metabolic activities maintain stable internal conditions in the proper sequence (coordination) and proper rate (regulation)

All living things are composed on one or more cells and thus share some basic structural similarity. Non-Living materials do not share such structural similarities. Cell=fundamental unit of life

Atoms–> Molecule–>cell–>tissue–>organ–> body systems –>organism–>population–> community–>ecosystem–>biosphere

Wrote Philosophie Zoologique 1809. Proposed inheritance of acquired characteristics (thought that genotype changed and could pass on to offspring)

Short necked giraffe–>keeps stretching their neck through their lifetime–> produces offspring–> offspring has a longer neck. Genotype DOES NOT change

Laws of Organic Life. Charles Darwin’s grandfather

Close friend, knew about Darwin’s theory. Botanist. Helped publish a joint paper for Wallace and Darwin.

Wrote Essay on the Principles of Population Discussed favorable variations would tend to be preserved and unfavorable ones to be destroyed. Results formation of new species

geologist and lawyer. Put forth uniformitarianism. Helped publish a joint paper for Wallace and Darwin.
