Characteristics of
living things
Biology &
Your Future
Grab bag
Basic unit of life
Cell
Similar organisms that can
reproduce and make offspring
Species/population
A physical environment with
different species that interact with
one another and with the non-living
things in their surroundings
Ecosystem
A group of populations/species
interacting together
Community
Compare the meanings of the terms
organism, species, and biodiversity
An organism is a single living thing
and a species is a group of organisms
that can reproduce. Biodiversity is
measured by the number of species in
a given area.
Scientists use observations and data to
form and test…..?
Hypotheses
Which phrase best describes scientific
theories?
a) Explain few observations
b)Serve as speculations
c) Are never proven
d)Cannot be replaced
c) Are never proven
During an experiment which factor is
observed or measured?
Dependent variable
What two types of data can be collected
in an experiment and give me an exp
of each
Quantitative – numerical values
Qualitative - descriptive
At which stage of scientific thinking are
scientists most likely to consider the
data and conclusions of other scientists
to propose new experiments
Hypothesis
All living things do this to ensure the
continuation of a species.
Reproduce
Genetic change in living organisms
over time.
Evolution
All chemical processes used to build
up or break down materials.
Metabolism
Organisms rely on both negative
feedback processes and behavior to
maintain this…
Homeostasis
Name at least 3 characteristics that all
organisms share.
1. Reproduce
2. Highly organized
3. Respond and adjust
4. Adapt and evolve
5. Metabolize
6. Grow and develop
7. Respiration
The study and manipulation of DNA on
a molecular level.
Molecular genetics
Exploring how cigarette smoke leads to
respiratory problems is an example of
using biology to…….
Improve human health
How have computer models expanded
biological research?
a) They help scientists design better X-rays
b) They simulate complex biological systems
that cannot be studied directly
c) They give scientists the ability to observe
molecules directly
d) They allow the use of human experimental
subjects
b) They simulate complex biological
systems that cannot be studied directly
Computer modeling would most likely have to
be applied to which of these biological research
topics?
a) How sugar levels in an athletes muscles change
during exercise
b) How West Nile virus might spread among a
population
c) How a drug to treat cancer affects laboratory
rats that have cancer
d) How different amounts of fertilizer change
crop yields
b) How West Nile might spread among
a population

process B differs from process A because
it relies on ……

What organ of a buffalo did Plains
Indians use to make yellow paint?
Gallbladder
What is the only mammal that can’t jump?
Elephant
What are rats unable to do, making them
extra vulnerable to poison?
Vomit
How many minutes does it take the
average person to fall asleep?
