1.) Based on a Universal Genetic code (DNA,

Deoxyribonucleic Acid)

2.) Grow and Develop

Example: A human child growing into an adult

3.) Respond to their environment 

Example:  The sky looks dark and it looks like it will rain, so the fox goes in it's den

4.) Reproduce

Example:  Two sea lions mate. Later, the mother gives birth to a baby sea lion, which eventually grows up and mates with another sea lion...continuing the cycle

5.) Homeostasis: Maintain a stable internal environment

Example: It is winter and it is extremely cold outside! However your body is still 98.6 ^oF/ 37 ^oC .

6.) Need/Create Energy 

Example: A flower takes in energy from the sun and creates glucose in the process of Photosynthesis

Example: An animal eats the flower and uses it to create food to allow it to perform life functions

7.) Composed of basic units called Cells

Example: A single celled organism such as bacteria is made up of one cell. An multicelled organism such as a lynx is made up of thousands of thousands of cells

8.) Changes/Evolves over time

Example: There are many tall trees with nutricious leaves on them in the area where the giraffe lives, so over many many years, the giraffe adapts to it's environment by developing a long neck to reach these leaves

Sexual reproduction involves two organisms uniting to form the first cell of a new organism (2 organisms)

Asexual  reproduction involves one organism creating offspring exactly the same as itself (1 organism)

A signal to which an organism responds

Example:

Stimulus: bad smelling/tasting chemicals released by a plant

Response: caterpillar moves away from that plant

Lab Safety Question:

List at least 5 unsafe labratory practices 

(other answers are possible)

1.) Wearing long hair down

2.) loose baggy clothing and jewelry

3.) open toed shoes

4.) eating or drinking in lab

5.) disposing of flammabal substances near an open flame

6.) disposing of potentially dangerous chemicals or toxins down the drain

7.) Not reading or coming up with a procedure before completing the lab

8.) Pointing a testube containing a heated substance towards another person (alsways point it away from other people)

9.) picking up a potentially hot glass without a glove or tongs

10) not telling the instructor or person in charge if you cut yourself or are injured in any way in lab

11.) not wearing appropiate safety equiptment such as gogles and an apron

12.) horseplay, practical jokes, and not paying attention

13.) Not washing hands after lab

KL = Kilogram

m = meter

g = gram

mL = millileter

mm = millimeter

L = liter

Km = kilometer

cm = centimeter

mg = milligram

Create a drawing of the order (Largest to Smallest) of metric measurment prefixes that includes their meaning (in numbers). 

(sorry if this question does not make sense, it makes sense to me because of how we studied this subject in my biology class)

6 meters = 60 centimeters

60 < 63

63 cm is greater than 6 meters

Put the following prefixes in order least to greatest:

Basic Unit, Hecto, Milli, Deci, Kilo, Centi, Deka

Yes,there is a difference

Transparent means something is perfectly clear, while Translucent means it is not clear but allows light to pass through.

What are the lenses nearest to the stage of the microscope called?

What is the lens you look through called?

What are the lenses nearest to the stage of the microscope called?

Objective Lens

What is the lens you look through called?

Eye Piece

What kind of objects can be viewed through a compound microscope?

(must light be able to pass through?)

Objects must be thin enough for light to pass through

Examples of things that can be viewed: An Elodea leaf, an extremely thin sliver of carrot, saliva and cells scraped off the inside of your cheak

Examples of things that cannot be viewed: A chunk of potato, your finger, a DVD

What is the thin glass or plastic object used to cover a specimen to be viewed by a microscope called?

When you slide a specimen to the right in the microcope, it will appear to move ____ in the field of view

a.) to the right

b.) to the left

c.) up

d.) down

b.) to the left

(and vice versa, if moved left it will move right across the field of view.)

Where on the microcope is the speciman placed so it can be observed?

Step 1: Ask a Question

Step 2: State a Hypothesis

Step 3: Conduct a controlled Experiment

Step 4: Analyze the results

Step 5: Make a conclusion

(Step 6: repeat)

This describes the _____ _______?

is being deliberately changed

(such as the amount of water each plant in an experiment gets)

What is being measured; the data for the experiment

Quantitative Data has a numberic value (Example: 1 mL, 2,000 m, 10 inches)

Qualitative Data has a characteristic value; it is a description

(Example, a red, violent reaction)
