List the 8 themes

Properties emerge as complexity increases, organisms interact with other organisms, life requires energy transfer, structure and function are correlated for biological organization, the cell is the basic unit of structure and function, continuity of life is based on DNA, Feedback mechanisms regulate biological systems, Evolutio

Explain DNA

DNA is the genes passed down from parent to offspring and allows for the continuity of life

What is Natural Selection?

Natural Selection is the passing down of certain traits that help them thrive in a certain environment

Explain why the Finches beaks were all different

Since they lived in different environments, the different foods and competition shaped their beaks to better fit their survival



Describe mimicry

The adaptations of certain animals to better increase their chances of survival by mimicking a certain species that is dangerous to other animals

Inductive reasoning

Derive generalizations from a large number of specific observations

Deductive reasoning

After the hypothesis has been made and involves logic that flows from general to specific

Positive Feedback

The end product speeds up the production

Negative feedback

accumulation of an end product hinders production

scientific method

observations, question, hypothesis, experiment, data and analysis, conclusion

Describe the Beetles figure

the beetles with the darker pigment survived and reproduced more often because the lighter beetles were more easily spotted by predators

Controls in experiments

test subject used for comparison

constants

same for all test subjects

technology used for science and examples

applying scientific knowledge to better society, microscope

how do structure and function correlate (example)

the thin flat shape of a leaf help it to better absorb sunlight for photosynthesis

example of emergent properties

you may have all the parts of a bicycle on the floor but if they are not put together you cannot ride it anywhere

taxonomy and order

names for animals and their organisms surrounding. Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species

Gene Expression

nucleotides are transcribed into RNA the translated into proteins
