Biology

• the study of life

• characteristic of living things, the formation of new cells and structures

• the study of non living things

• describes certain relationship under certain conditions of nature

Cell

• a place used as a room in prison

• the largest structural and functional unit of an organism, typically microscopic and consisting of cytoplasm and a nucleus enclosed in a membrane.

• a single life form

• the smallest structural and functional unit of an organism, typically microscopic and consisting of cytoplasm and a nucleus enclosed in a membrane.

Homeostatis

• Regulations of an organism's internal conditions to maintain life

• An individual animal, plant, or single-celled life form

• The use of evidence to construct testible explanations

• the study of life

Theories vs. Hypothesis

• Theories are estimations or ideas that you can soon test through experimentation; A hypothesis is an explanation of natural or physical phenomenon supported by many obstructions over time.

• A hypothesis and theory don't have a difference.

• A hypothesis is a estimation or idea that can soon be tested through experimentation; Theories are an explanation of natural or physical phenomenon supported by many obstructions over time.

• Theories are the use of evidence to construct testable explanation; A hypothesis is the process by which the procedures of an experiment are evaluated.

Peer review

• The process of natural changes that take place during the life of an organism

• The process by which the procedures of an experiment are evaluated

• The planned and deliberate investigation of the natural world

• A direct method of gathering information of an orderly way

Scientific method

• Methods used that describes relationship under certain conditions under nature

• The process of gathering what you know and what you've learned to gather information and answer questions

• The use of evidence to construct testable explanations

• Methods to gather information and to answer questions

All living things are...

• Are classified as anything that is a part of an environment

• Are regulations of an organism's internal conditions to maintain life.

• Are an organized structure. It may be a single-celled such as a bacterial cell, or multi-cellular such as animals and plants that are made up of several cells.

• The study of life

Hormones

• Regulations of an organism's internal conditions to maintain life

• It is of the natural or physical phenomenon supported by many single-celled life forms and can be explained over time

• Characteristic of living things; the formation of new cells and structures

• A regulatory substance produced in an organism and transported in tissue fluids such as blood or sap to stimulate specific cells or tissues into action
