BSC 1010 EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS WITH

COMPLETE SOLUTIONS VERIFIED AND GRADE A++


What is Science?


An organized way of gathering and analyzing evidence about the natural world


Life


Life (cf. biota) is a characteristic that distinguishes objects that have signaling and self-sustaining

processes from those that do not, either because such functions have ceased (death), or else because

they lack such functions and are classified as inanimate.


Attributes of Living Things


Complex Organization

Metabolism (Catabolic, Anabolism)

Movement

Reproduction

Responsiveness

Some forms of life may not show all aspects at a given point in time, but are still alive


What is Biology?


The study of life


Scientific Method

, Observation, Questions, Hypothesis, Prediction, Experiment


Observation


The act of noticing and describing events or processes in a careful, orderly way


Induction vs Deduction


To Deduce is to draw a specific conclusion from a general principle. (General-->Specific)

To induce is to derive a general principle from specific observations. (Specific --> General)



Example:

Deduction- Because all animals with hair are mammals, we can deduce that the furry thing outside is a

mammal

Induction- Because every mammal we've ever seen has hair, we might induce that all mammals have hair



Inductions are often wrong, to recognize the difference between the two, look for the word "all." If

the original observation has it, it is a deduction.


Statistical Analyses


These test provide rules to help decide whether a difference is one that is beyond what would be

expteced by ordinary fluctuations


Evolution


A concept that all organisms are related to one another by common ancestry

Not proven, it is an evolving hypothesis


Lamarck
