DEFINITION 2 -Cell, Organism, Population, Ecosystem, Biosphere TERM 3

deductive reasoning

DEFINITION 3 Deductive reasoning- applies general principals to predict specific results TERM 4

inductive reasoning

DEFINITION 4 Uses specific observations to construct general scientific results TERM 5

scientific method

DEFINITION 5 scientific method- Ask a question, Research, Hypothesise, Experiment, Analyze, Draw a conclusion, Report

hypothesis

hypothesis- a proposed explanation for a phenomenon TERM 7

theory

DEFINITION 7 summarizes a hypothesis or group of hypotheses that have been supported with repeated testing TERM 8

Who was Charles Darwin? What was his

contribution to science?

DEFINITION 8 -A scientist who observed differences in related organisms-He proposed natural selection as a mechanism for evolution TERM 9

natural selection

DEFINITION 9 The process of life forms adapting to their environmental pressures who go on to produce greater numbers of their kind (survival of the fittest) TERM 10

What are the unifying themes of biology?

DEFINITION 10 cells are the basic unit of life, the structure of molecules, macromolecular complexes,cells and even higher levels of organization are related to their functions

Know why covalent bonds stabilize molecules

-covalent bonds tend to fill each electron energy level TERM 17

What is a polar covalent bond? Nonpolar

covalent bond? Give examples

DEFINITION 17 -polar covalent bond-electrons are shared unequally, one atom is slightly negative, one slightly positive-a covalent bond that shares equal number of electrons TERM 18

What 3 factors influence chemical

reactions?

DEFINITION 18 -Temperature, Concentration or reactants and products, and catalysts TERM 19

Define cohesive and adhesive. Why are they

different

DEFINITION 19 -Cohesive- allows water molecules to be attracted to eachother-adhesive- attraction for other polar substances-Cohesion only involves attraction to the same substances TERM 20

What are the properties of water

DEFINITION 20 High: specific heat, heat of vaporization, Solid is less dense than liquid, polar molecules are soluble in water, water tends to exclude non polar molecules

What are acids? Bases? Buffers?

-acids- Any substance that dissociates in water to increase the [H+]-bases- A substance that combines with [H+] to when dissolved in water-buffer- a substance that resists changes in pH TERM 22

What is the formula for pH?

DEFINITION 22 pH= -log [H+] TERM 23

Know the 4 major groups of macromolecules

DEFINITION 23 carbohydrates, nucleic acids, proteins, lipids TERM 24

What is the difference between dehydration

and hydrolysis reactions

DEFINITION 24 -dehydration- the removal of water to make a larger molecule-hydrolysis- add water to breakdown molecules TERM 25

Give examples of monosaccharides,

disaccharides, and polysaccharides

DEFINITION 25 -monosaccharides- Glucose-disaccharides- Sucrose- polysaccharides- Cellulose, chitin
