#17 Test Review
Test Review Part A
1. What are the steps of the scientific method?
Stating a problem, gathering information, forming a hypothesis, experimenting, analyzing the data, and drawing conclusions is the scientific method.
What is a hypothesis?
2. A hypothesis is a proposed explanation or prediction that can be tested.
What is a theory?
3. A theory is an explanation based on the results of many observations or experiments.
Compare and contrast a theory with a hypothesis.
4. A theory is an explanation based on many observations; a hypothesis is a testable prediction.
What is an experimental variable?
5. A variable is something that can change in an experiment.
Why is it important to allow only one variable to change at a time during an experiment?
6. Experiments should only test one variable because if two are changed, one doesn't know which variable caused the result.
What is an independent variable?
7. The independent variable is what the experimenter changes or enacts in order to do the experiment.
What does the experimenter manipulate in an experiment?
8. The experimenter manipulates the independent variable.
What is a dependent variable?
9. A dependent variable is what changes as a result of the independent variable.
How is a dependent variable related to the independent variable in an experiment?
10. The independent variable is said to cause an apparent change in, or affect the dependent variable.
What is a control in an experiment?
11. A control is a group of subjects or an unchanged situation to which the outcome of a test is compared.
What are controlled variables in an experiment?
12. Controlled variables are anything that could influence the dependent variables.
Why are controlled variables important in an experiment?
13. Controlled variables must be carefully monitored and kept equal in your experiments; uncontrolled factors can cause false results. (Uncontrolled variables will mess up your experiment.)
What is a control group?
14. A control group is used as a comparison and doesn't experience the independent variable.
What is an experimental group?
15. An experimental group are subjects that experience the factor that is change in an experiment.
What is a “blind” experiment?
16. When the subjects of an experiment or the person collecting results is unaware of whether a given subject is part of the experimental or control group.
Why are “blind” conditions done in an experiment?
17. Placebo affect and experimenter bias are controlled by blind conditions in an experiment.
What are the characteristics of life?
What are the characteristics of life?
18. Organization, having cells, responding to stimuli, homeostasis, metabolism, development, and reproduction are the characteristics of living things.
Summarizing the organization found in complex multicellular organisms.
19. Biological molecules are combined and organized to make up organelles.
Organelles are the parts of the cell.
Similar cells make up tissues.
Tissues working together make up organs.
Organs that work together make up organ systems.
Organ systems make up organisms.
What is a cell?
20. A cell is the smallest unit of an organism that can perform all life functions.
Give an example of a plant responding to a stimuli.
21. Leaves growing towards light or roots growing downward is a plant responding to stimuli.
What is homeostasis?
22. Homeostasis is the maintenance of a stable level internal conditions even though environmental conditions are constantly changing.
What is metabolism?
23. Metabolism is the sum of all the chemical reactions that take in and transform energy and materials from the environment.
What is cell division?
24. Cell division is the formation of two new cells from an existing cell.
Contrast how unicellular and multicellular organisms grow.
25. Unicellular organisms grow through cell enlargement, while multicellular organisms grow mainly by increasing the number of their cells through cell division.
What is the difference between growth and development?
26. Growth is just getting bigger, whereas development involves cell division and cells changing into different kinds to perform different functions.
Contrast asexual and sexual reproduction.
27. The offspring and parent have identical genes in asexual reproduction, whereas the offspring of sexual reproduction gets a mix of genes from two parents.
28. What is a gene?
A gene is a short segment of DNA that contains the instructions for a single trait of an organism.
