Side A ------ Side B
The study of life ------ biology
Begins with specific observations(facts), draws general conclusion, used to form scientific hypothesis ------ inductive reasoning
Starts with general idea, makes specific predictions that follow logically ------ deductive reasoning
The concerted human effort to understand, or to understand better, the history of the natural world and how the natural world works, with observable physical evidence as the basis of that understanding. ------ science
A statement that provides some explanation for the observed facts ------ hypothesis
The variable that is measured, counted, or observed ------ dependent variable
The variable that is manipulated ------ independent variable
Independent variable is held at a constant level or omitted ------ control
Method or sequence of steps performed for the experiment ------ procedure
Repeating the experiment several times to provide consistent results ------ replication
Observation that is subjective(colors, smells, etc...) ------ qualitative
Observation that includes facts or measurements ------ quantitative
The capacity to do work ------ energy
The set of chemical reactions that occur in living organisms to maintain life. ------ metabolism
Molecules and structures that detect stimuli ------ receptors
A specific form of energy that a receptor can detect ------ stimulus
To maintain relatively constant internal conditions ------ homeostasis
Reproduction which requires the two cells from different individuals to unite to produce the first cell of a new organism. ------ sexual reproduction
Reproduction in which a single organism can reproduce without the aid of another. ------ asexual reproduction
Fundamental form of matter that cannot be broken down into a different form of matter by ordinary chemical means ------ element
Smallest unit of an element that retains the element's properties, consist of three subatomic particles ------ atom
Atom that varies in neutron number ------ isotope
Union between the electron structures of two or more atoms ------ chemical bond
Occurs when two or more elements intermingle in proportions that can vary ------ mixture
3 kinds of chemical bonds ------ ionic, covalent, hydrogen
8 characteristics of living things ------ Assimilate and use energy, Can respond to their environment, Maintain relatively constant internal conditions, Possess an inherited information base in DNA, Can reproduce, Are composed of 1 or more cells, Evolved from other living things, Are highly organized on different levels
Bond in which atoms of opposite charge attract each other ------ ionic bond
An atom that has either lost or gained one or more electrons ------ ion
Bond in which atoms share outer-shell electrons with other atoms ------ covalent bond
Bond in which a weak attraction forms when the positive end of 1 polarized molecule is attracted to the negative end of another ------ hydrogen bond
Type of covalent bonding in which distribution of charge is symmetrical ------ nonpolar
Type of covalent bonding in which distribution of charge is asymmetrical ------ polar
