a group of related facts arranged in labeled rows and columns and is used to record information. Its purpose is to help sort, analyze and compare data gathered from a science experiment or research project can be described as what

The variable in a functional relation whose value is independent, or is not affected by other variables. The variable that is manipulated in an experiment; the factor that affects the value of variables dependent to it.

the variable being tested and measured in a scientific experiment

this part of a graph: describes in detail what the graph is about

on a graph these inform someone reading the graph what the axis of the graph are depicting

This scientific model is linear, no room to move around the different steps, no room to ask alternative questions or questions about what you are doing

This scientific model is not linear, can move from any step to another step, can stop and ask questions, communicate information to other scientists, collaboration is important

this can be defined as: information acquired by observation or experimentation

When you are thinking what organ are you using?

How can you make observations?

All of these: Title, independent variable, dependant variable, legend, scale are required for a proper ________?

What are the 4 collective things that data tables and graphs need?

what is this an image of ?

What is the y-axis on this graph?

this type of biodiversity can be defined as: variety of species in an area

all life is different defines what?

this is the study of life:

this type of biodiversity can be defined as: differences in DNA among individuals

this term can be described as the organization of life.

which one is not a characteristic of life:

All the things listed

-Respond to the environment

-Different levels of organization

-Made up of cells

-Reproduce

-Obtain E (energy)

-Grow and Develop

-Genetic Code (DNA)

can be categorized as:

Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species

are the correct levels of classification

what are the 3 types of biodiversity?

atoms and a desk would be considered

mushroom butterfly and cow would be considered

Loss of a species

this can be described as : The variety of life on earth.

Loss of many species over a short period

of time.

A species close to being extinct:

this word can best be defined as: a multitude, or how much of something

how many births over a period of time defines what?

how many deaths over a period of time can be described as:

This is an isle of the coast of michigan in lake superior, great place to study ecosystems and how animals interact with each other because it is so small and contained

Extinctions cause a/an ___________________ in biodiversity

how many mass extinctions have happened on Earth?

what are some causes of extinction

a higher birth rate will ___________ the population

If the amount of deaths is greater than births, what would you expect a population to do?

Do births cause an increase or decrease in a population?

A group of organisms of one species is called :

any difference between individual organisms caused either by genetic differences is called:

the "struggle for survival" is an expression that is usually describing what model?

This can be defined as maximum number of individuals in a population that can be supported by the environment

This statement depicts what model? "Only the organisms best adapted to their environment tend to survive and pass on their traits in increasing numbers to succeeding generations while those less adapted tend to be eliminated "

the better trait to have for survival, such as a larger beak to crack larger seeds in a drought, is called:

the worse trait to have, will most likely not be as successful in surviving

__________________is a graph type used for continuous data, where the columns represent ranges of data

The population rate decreases as the population reaches carrying capacity defines ______________ growth in a population

In a population when the resources availability is unlimited in the habitat, the population of an organism living in the habitat grows in a rapid fashion this type of growth occurs:

During the drought on Daphne Major Island, the larger beak of the finches was considered to be what type of trait?

For a population to survive, what must occur BEST answer

limited resources cause a population to _____________

If more individuals with advantageous traits survive and reproduce, what do you predict will happen to the number of individuals born with the advantageous trait in the population?

Is a distributed (bell curve) variation unique to finches, or do we find it in all species?

What if there was no starvation in the finches? What if all the parents and offspring had survived? What type of population growth would be exhibited

If a scientists model was summarized it would be this: Those best adapted, or have the advantageous trait are usually more successful and are able to live and survive long enough to mate and reproduce, which passes the better (advantageous) trait to the next generation. Which scientist would it belong to?

A large molecule (macromolecule) in our food, made up of amino acids

Triglycerides are an example of this macromolecule in our food:

This is a large molecule (macromolecule) in our food made up of sugar molecules

this is a type of sugar that can make up carbohydrates

A smaller molecule composed of C H O and N atoms, that make up proteins when linked together in a polypeptide chain:

this is a type of fat that is composed of C H and O atoms

A ___________ is two or more atoms bonded together, forming a new substance

Anything that has mass and takes up space

_______ is the smallest particle you can have of an element

________________ is the pure substances that all matter is made of, can be found on periodic table

pee is made up of what 2 main molecules ?

is mucus an input or output or both

_______________ is the amount of energy needed to heat one kilogram of water 1 degree Celsius.

___________________ is the unit of energy associated with food.

Examples of this would include carbon (C), oxygen (O), gold (Au), hydrogen (H)

Examples of this would include a Carbon atom, Hydrogen atom etc.

Examples of this would include: O₂, H₂O, and CO₂
