Physics correct answers The study of atomic particles of matter that interact y a relatively
simple set of rules that may be distilled into predictive formulas.
Chemistry correct answers a more complicated application of physics and its rules to
molecules in a test tube
Biology correct answers An even more complicated application of chemistry in a "special test
tube" (a cell), which may run via predictive formulas
Biology's rules are correct answers messy and infinite because molecular interactions are
almost impossible to predict
Traditional description of biology correct answers the study of life and living organisms
Modern biology recognizes the cell as correct answers the basic unit of life and attempts to
describe the properties of the cell as living, including its origins, growth, reproduction,
structure, heredity, and evolution
Modern biology attempts to understand correct answers how inanimate molecules build a
highly ordered and complex interactive system that exhibits emergency properties
emergent properties correct answers properties that we describe and characterize as being
alive
All life shares a correct answers carbon based chemistry, depends on water, and is capable of
self replication, which defines the rich set of characteristics we describe as the "living
condition"
biology is the correct answers discipline of living things defined by what we know, have seen
before, and often what we have studied in the lab
The aim of modern biology is correct answers to interpret the properties of living organisms
within the structure of their molecules
Scientific Theories have 2 components correct answers - one component describes patterns
observed in the natural world
- other component identifies a process or mechanism responsible for the pattern
To solve a scientific problem, you must first correct answers recognize and state the problem
Scientific Method correct answers a process for investigating nature; it's the methodology by
which scientists, collectively and over time, attempt to construct an accurate, reliable,
consistent, and non-biased representation of observed natural world.
scientific method involves a number of common practices such as correct answers 1. making
observations: an accurate description of a phenomenon or group of phenomena
- gathering of data either directly or from previous studies
, - begin to ask questions: about how's and why's of things you observed (questions must be
framed in measurable terms)
- begin to look for ways to answer the question by doing things like literature searches
- pose a measurable question
scientific method involves a number of common practices such as correct answers 2.
postulating the question: formulating an explanation or testable hypothesis of observation and
the posing of a critical and experimentally testable question
hypothesis correct answers an explanation, based upon observations and assumptions that
leads to a testable prediction
- a proposed explanation for our observation which is experimentally testable
- you must state it as precisely as possible and must list the expected predictions that it makes
scientific method involves a number of common practices such as correct answers 3. make
experimental predictions: a hypothesis is making a prediction that can be tested
- designing an experiment to test your hypothesis (requires experience, creativity, and sense
of what is practical)
- supposed to test a premise
- are best designed to falsify and never prove a hypothesis (there is no prove, only disprove)
the design of an experiment should be to correct answers falsify the hypothesis or to evaluate
an alternative hypothesis
- should be unbiased
- define the variables and factors that are liable to vary or change
A big part of experimental design is the correct answers material and methods, based on
previous published works, collegial suggestions, intuition etc
hypothetico-deductive model correct answers involves the formulation of the hypothesis,
conceivably falsifiable by a test of observable data, by doing experiments from which one my
deduce a general answer to the hypothesis
deductive reasoning correct answers from general case to specific
inductive reasoning correct answers from a specific case to a general principle
scientific is also cumulative because correct answers - results from earlier studies become
initial observations of new studies
- everything that science "knows" even as established theories are subject to reexamination as
new information is collected
- no endeavor of humankind rivals science in its incremental processes
not all experiments are correct answers clear cut, scientific results must fit into known facts
the collection and interpretation of experimental data correct answers often draws upon
previously known knowledge so scientists fit new knowledge into framework of what they
already know
organizing data correct answers raw data is often expressed in tables and figures
