population.
What is the positive control? - ANSThere is no positive control in this experiment.
Negative feedback - ANSThe end products stop the production of the starting products.
Ex. sweating regulates high body temperature, counteraction
Positive feedback - ANSThe end products increase the production of the starting products.

Ex. Fever due to a bacterial infection
, The properties of life include - ANSEnergy processing, evolutionary adaptation, growth and

Bacteria and Archaea are - ANSProkaryotes
All eukaryotic organisms such as plants, animals and fungi are - ANSEukarya
The most numerous and diverse eukarya are - ANSProtists, unicelluar organisms that
evolved from prokaryotes
Evolution - ANSThe concept that the organisms living on earth today are the modified

Unity of life - ANSAll life originates from a common ancestor
Diversity of life - ANSNew species evolving from others
Natural selection - ANSIndividuals that are best suited to their environment are more likely to

Hypothesis (H1) - ANSThis is what you are testing for. States there is a significant difference
between treatment and (negative) control.
Null hypothesis (H0) - ANSStates there is no difference between treatment and (negative)
control. Can't be proven, only disproved.
Significant - ANSShown there is a less than 5% chance for the outcome to occur by chance
alone
Independent variable - ANSCan be manipulated
Dependent Variable - ANSWhat is predicted to be affected in response to the independent
variable.
