Three Domains |
Domain Bacteria - Unicellular, prokaryotic ( no nucleus, no organelles) Domain Archaea - Very old cells. Also unicellular, prokaryotic, most live in extreme environments (extremely hot, cold, or salty) Domain Eukarya - Cells contain a membrane (nucleus) and organelles. |

|
Scientific Method Inductive and Deductive reasoning |
-A logical approach to answer questions about the natural world Observation > Hypothesis > Prediction > Observation/Experiment> Results > Conclusion -Inductive Reasoning - Observation leads to general statement -Deductive Reasoning - General statements that lead to specific if/then statements. |
|
|
Controlled Experiment Double Blind Study |
Control group - does not get tested Experimental - gets tested -In a double blind study the neither the scientist or participant know who's receiving the experimental drug and who's receiving the placebo.
|
|
|
Factors in a Clinical Trial |
Is the drug safe to use on animals? Phase one - People? Phase 2 - Does the drug work for its intended purposes? Phase 3 - How does the new drug compare with other available treatments? |
